Viable options for the optional slot:
- - more group support, better combo potential, and you get to transmute this aura while in for additional bonuses such as AoE
Stability.
- - instant invulnerability access + stun break, great panic button. Could even help you rez and stomp as long as you start channeling those before you enter Mist Form.
- - stun break and strong defensive skill on a lower CD than Mist Form, could make it easier to get casts off under pressure too.

Ratings
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.
