This build was last updated on October 09, 2024 and is up to date for the October 8, 2024 patch.

Overview

This build primarily fills the role of the healer and cleanser for its party.

Glyph of Renewal is an exceptionally powerful revive skill - in Air Attunement it has the unique effect of repositioning the target, allowing the tempest to fully reset a player that went down in a bad place.

Tempest provides some Might Might provided with Pyromancer's Puissance as well as unique auras - primarily Frost Aura and the very powerful Shocking Aura.

Detailed Explanations

Glyph of Renewal

Glyph of Renewal Toggle
  • Under General Options / Combat/Movement turn on Allow Skill Retargetting and set Ground Targetting to Instant Cast, this will make Glyph of Renewal cast at the location your cursor is at the end of the cast, instead of where you initially targetted
  • Focus on reviving allies who are far away with Glyph of Renewal, don't waste the skill on players that can be hand rezzed.
  • Use Glyph of Renewal in Air Attunement on single players and Earth Attunement on multiple players
    • If the teleportation is not needed (or actively harmful), use the glyph in Water Attunement for the extra heal
  • If a downed ally can be safely revived by other means don't use Glyph of Renewal
  • If you are under the effect of Illusion of Life you can cast Glyph of Renewal in Fire Attunement to avoid timing out


Condition clear

  • "Aftershock!" should be saved for Immobilize Immobilize rather than used to proc Smothering Auras
  • Keep in mind the small, 240 radius of Transmute Frost/Transmute Lightning. Both are significant condition clear with Smothering Auras
Condition clear priority Toggle

Healing

  • Most of your healing comes from Water Attunement and "Wash the Pain Away!"
    • Avoid leaving Water Attunement if you predict heavy pressure coming in the next 10 seconds
  • Cone of Cold can be used twice in each Water Attunement if you use it as soon as you enter and again as you leave attunement
    • Channeled skills like Cone of Cold finish casting even if you leave attunement after starting the cast
  • Tempests biggest burst heal skill is "Wash the Pain Away!"
    • Keep in mind most of the healing is on the first pulse which has a smaller radius than the rest of the skill
  • Water Attunement ⇒ Healing Ripple is instant cast, meaning it provides the healing immediately and can also be used while CCed
  • Transmute Frost can be enabled by Frozen Burst, Overload Water, Flash-Freeze and, of course, Frost Aura. Make sure to use it as often as possible.
  • A significant part of your healing comes from Relic of Karakosa and blast finishers:
    • Frozen Burst
    • Earthquake
    • Churning Earth
    • Convergence
    • Try to make Frozen Burst your last cast in Water Attunement then immediately swap to Air Attunement or Earth Attunement to use blasts on the field

      • Shades - Desert Shroud
      • Traps - Procession of Blades+Test of Faith
    • On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)

    • Earthquake
    • Overload Earth
    • Ring of Earth
  • Air Attunement
    • Transmute Lightning
    • Shocking Aura
    • Overload Air - Unstable Conduit
  • Water Attunement


Aura/boonshare

  • Try to be in Air Attunement for melee engages to apply Shocking Aura
    • Activate Shocking Aura soon after entering Air Attunement so its duration doesn't overlap with Overload Air + Unstable Conduit
  • Make sure you're close to your group when leaving Fire Attunement to proc Pyromancer's Puissance, it has a short 240 radius
  • "Rebound!" can be used to cover Stability Stability for your party if the primary providers have downtime


Settings

  • Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
  • Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
    • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
  • Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.

Soldier198 gave this build 5 stars • June 2024
06/25/2024 Buffs made this build an exceptional healer and cleanser. While it was previously capable of outputting high cleansing and respectable healing, combined buffs to Cone of Cold, Frozen Burst, and Soothing Ice allows for significantly improved healing and cleansing and nonstop transmutations of Frost Aura, as well as an extraordinary high uptime of Frost Aura in general. Very powerful right now, but with a lesser amount of general utility compared to Scrapper and Druid.
3 stars
Arete gave this build 3 stars • April 2024
Good alternative to D/F tempest, trading might for and cleanse and heals. Loses a lot of defense and utility, both are pretty marginal at very large group sizes but an issue for this build in smaller groups. Unique auras and solid CC help set it apart from druid/vindicator/scrapper.
