Guild Wars 2

Ok so I know it’s not perfect and with the build I made I have almost no offensive presence, but being able to tank an entire team in tpvp is a lot of fun and the heals and auras aren’t bad either xD. I’ve literally won games because three people are trying to kill me and get their home back.

It’s really funny to see chronomancers and dragonhunters try to burst you only to to see it did little to no damage lol

Yeah, the only viable Tempest build in PvP is a bunker build with no damage. You know what that means? It means after a while people will scream “Ele sustain is too high” just like D/D Ele and request it to be nerfed. We will then end up with no build.

I’d rather have the healing scale gets a nerf, the base sustain on weapon gets a buff, and Tempest damage gets a buff so we’re not pigeon holed into bunker.

You either play earth minstrel tank with water or arcana minstrel tank, in the first case a condi overload can kill you regardless so the opponents you were facing were obviously bad, in the second case you won’t survive a proper burst in which case the opponents you were facing were obviously bad.
While the build is good is far from immortal trust me…just wait to face reapers/scrappers/burn guards etc

Fresh air diamond skin tempest is a really strong teamfighter that’s loads of fun to play. I can confirm that it works well, it’s just that Druid may possibly fulfill its role better, with more heals but less boons and AoE cleave.

Tempest is godly in wvw i must say it dose realy high dmg too just more dps then spike dmg.

I’ve ran into all of them and never had an issue, reapers, scrappers and burn guards are just as easy. 16 games in and have not died in a 1v1. For overloading, the ones worth using are earth and water, but you don’t use them everytime it’s available.
