Guild Wars 2

I have to admit, playing tempest was not really something I was going to do.
But since Ive tried all the new elites I figured why not tempest aswell.

I went for dagger/wh because Id like to see what it was like in theory.
Well, there werent enough spells going on because of the horn casts to really selfheal with Signet of Restoration, so I swapped to “Wash the Pain away” but it did little for me.

I had some success with Scepter warhorn but not a whole lot. It still felt out of place and weak.

So ended up trying all types of runes and amulet, and all types of weapon combinations. I quickly found out… I was doing much better without the darn horn..
And then I quickly found out, I did much better without tempest…
Good luck casting those channel overloads on a group of players.. haha.

So the only build I got to work pretty well…was..
Cele / strength Staff.. With tempest, water and earth. I was able to take a beating from..not 1, not 2 but 4 people while still keeping my allies alive.

I ran “Wash the pain away”, Lightning flash, Flash Freeze and Frost Bow and Flm GS as elite.

While the other elites sort of lifted the whole profession such as revenant, necromancer and warrior, tempest did little for me. It felt quite..out of place.
I only played around with this for around 4-5 hours over one day against a bunch of random people so who knows. But there it is.

Was your testing in PvE or PvP or both? I found Tempest to work better with healing power and condi damage with aura sharing. If your trying to do the same things traditional ele builds can your doing it wrong.

Just pvp , and yes I should have gone with condi and healing power but it is not entierly my playstyle. Nevertheless I’m not super stoked about tempest..yet!

We should get some feedback soon on what changes they have planned for Tempest so cross your fingers for good news:)
