Condi Tempest
I approve this
The build is kittening boring.
Put fresh air in their place please.
40k burn, imagine this in wvw^^

In WvW you actually have to swap attunements
i love the idea of condi ele but i can agree with you (i would love some water in the ele rotations but its a support attunement T-T)

Fire-Earth rotation is likely for condi… though it would still feel a bit lacking, for an ele. One of the best things about Scepter/Warhorn was you could use all 4 attunements in a proper rotation… but RIP Sc/Wh. We get the generic condi build which doesn’t use the class mechanic remaining, not the fun one.

Actually from a PvE perspective, fire/arcane/water ele with some improvisation on rotations left from 2014 can use water attunement a lot, and I think produce the highest burst damage in-game against large hitboxes for more than 20 seconds. After it stabilizes, shouldn’t even be running so far behind its fire/arcane/air brother
Condi tempest used to use earth attunement until they buffed the trait in arcane line, which made us drop icebow for arcane utilities for additional burns. Either a nerf on that trait or a huge buff on the bleeds on earth is needed to revert this change unfortunately.
What I really wish is that flame axe was a part of condi tempest though.
This is the main reason I don’t play condi.
Ele is about switching elements and adapting to combat situations with different tactics. Power builds can at least remain functional when doing this and thus fit the fantasy.
Condi build is a hamfisted abomination, there is no synergy between different attunements, and anything but fire is awful, thus if you need to CC, mitigate or heal, you screw yourself and feel horrible for 10 whole seconds which is basically eternity, it feels like a 10 second self stun. You would think at least Earth could do some damage with bleeds but I’m pretty sure they’d need to quadruple the amount of bleeds it provides because burning is that much stronger, its really a joke.
this build is kinda dead already, only effective vs this golem. Very limited application in actual raids, unlike the condi rotation before nerf.
