Guild Wars 2

If Diamond Skin came to be reworked, removed or anything… Would Bunker Tempest still be viable?

I want to ask a different question. Would any non-bunker Tempest be viable?

Not really no. Auras are about the only thing tempest has going for it and they’re defensive. Trying to build anything but a defensive build around it isn’t worth it.

Eh, when I get bored of playing a total bunker I’ve played a more offensive variant with E/A/T fresh air and maruaders amulet….I’ve actually had a lot of fun with it and a lot of success… It packs quite a punch for the amount of sustain and protection

Yeah. It was viable before viper revenant happened.

You don’t need Diamond Skin in your build at all.

I found myself on fresh air > earth lately… much better to overload air, meteor shower and overload air again within 5s… Arcana is more than awsome for DD too.

I’m also using the cantrip heal though when the conditions become too much, relying on staff water 3+5 with blast finishers to heal without condi pressure.
