The build is still entirely workable, but I feel it has fallen behind in balancing alittle. It has burst healing, aurashare and projectile denial as well as condi cleanse, but one of the issues it has is actually created by one of its strengths. It pumps out so many boons just by existing, that if a condi necro (which is very common right now) just looks at you funny and corrupts them, you're basically insta dead. The issues is without water 5, overload or heal, which all happen over duration with relatively long animations, it's easy to catch a tempest out because of how many animations it takes to cleanse. Stability does exist but it's a bit weird to get since you have to transmute the magnetic aura, and the stab doesn't even last long enough to cover the heal in alot of circumstances. Still good, but I'd stick to core guard or chrono for now.
Amazing healing especially when you know how to use Karakosa relic properly but it relies on allies watching your back more than D/F, for which reason I still prefer that version. No invuln, no instant stun, only 1 evasion makes it rough to survive with sometimes. In terms of support performance, in theory at least, this is one of the best builds however since it has so many tools for dealing with whatever the enemy team throws at your team.
More relaxing to play than d/f, however its a bit too easy to get focused and burst down, imo d/f is probably better but as someone who came back after a year not playing this is decent enough
The healing is just broken. Dagger tempest was already the #1 support in pvp but CMC thought it'd be wise to buff support tempests even more for.. reasons. At least stone heart got nerfed so that's nice. Is there a 6/5? I'd give it that.
Just as good as D/F if not better after the recent patch, more healing and more cleansing but bit harer to survive on it because it has less Shocking Aura access and no Earth invuln. Transmute Earth buffs added Stability access to Tempest which put it even higher about core Guard now.
Having great success with this build with an average of 500-600k heal per match. Very good at rezzing and if the team doesnt need alot if support then the air overload and meteor shover/lava still do decent damage, I average between 100-200k dmg per match.
I generally think this one is the best support build for ele, if you go to damage, use the fire dancer, if you want support, stay in a team with your staff as a tempest and you can be so annoying and incredibly useful.
I do use this build as my main build on plat 1 instead of my FB support, this build is actually way more fun than FB in my OP
Great chill output, ranged support in heals, auras, condi cleanse.
The geyser rez is less than a second and on very low cooldown, almost guaranteed even under heavy pressure with mist form.
Considering easy access to chill and pretty mobile, this build can kite quite well and I don't feel so squishy either.
This build decent if your team can peel for you (preferably with another support such as blood scourge or firebrand), otherwise it folds quite easily when focused as it lacks many of the self-peel that d/f tempest has, and it's still outclassed by firebrands.
Being squishy and lacks edge that Firebrand offers such as Stability, on-demand stunbreaks, and Resistance--pretty much everything from Tome of Courage.
However, this build has something Firebrand does not: auras, arguably more ranged support, and geyser rez which is actually very nice. Also has Mist Form that can make more awesome plays.
Edit: better than expected, moving it up
Nathanel doesn't understand what makes this one so good. Staff tempest has more condition removal and AoE healing than any other build bar firebrands, but the rez is better than FB's. For ranked this is 5/5, for tournaments 4/5.
