Amazing burn DPS and team presence with boons and auras. For me, focus offhand is much stronger due to Transmute Fire (fire 5) alone. The build generates an aura every few seconds, which gives 800 heal+regen+protection+vigor+cleanse on everyone nearby and then you can transmute the fire auras for big AoE fire, boons and cleanse. I'd say this is an easy build to get into because you can spend 80% of your time in fire, but the 20% other time where you have to play piano in other attunements is where legends are born. It tends to strongly swing fights in your team's favor and wins games. Enter the fight in lightning for Gale knockdown, but then instantly swap to Fire to proc fire aura from Sunspot trait ->flamewall on approach -> Burning Speed hip thrust -> transmute fire from sunspot trait -> into BOOM BOOM BOOM chain of Feel the Burn -> transmute fire -> fire shield -> transmute fire -> feel the burn -> transmute fire loop for with constant heals and aoe boons burns and cleanses. I recommend Latent Stamina trait for uber dodges. You get so many dodges from Latent Stamina that you can spend half the match in an invuln state. Basically BOOM BOOM BOOM dodge BOOM dodge endlessly until they are dead. UPDATE: you should bring rune of the forge + sigil of smoldering if you want to do actual damage.
It's okay...good damage, decent sustain with cleanses and heals, but sorely lacks stunbreaks and stab access, also suffers from being very slow to rotate. As an additional side note, people always assume that tempests are supports, so when they see the icon, you get focused, and this build doesn't have many ways of peeling, yes it has earth 5, but that isn't enough because of the before mentioned lack of stab, lack of stunbreaks, and lack of swiftness or other movement, hovering at a 3.5 for me because there is no reason to play this over staff support or any scepter Cata build. Extra points for a fun hybrid playstyle
My favorite build in PvP right now! Great jack-of-all-trades and is proving just as strong in the miniseason as in Conquest. Brings so much value to fights, you will often end games with both Damage and Healing badges (and 0 deaths). Been addicted since I discovered it, it feels extremely powerful and very flexible. Recently preferring the Tempestuous Aria variant due to the Power-heavy meta but all of them feel great. This build lets you have your cake and eat it, too. It can be a bit tricky to learn at first, but once you get it down it is incredibly rewarding.
