I am running multiple Chars and want everyone to have a unique build. I want to run Tempest Auramancer for solo PvE but have no clue what gear i should choose. I thought about celestial but i dont know if Jack of all trades is useful in Maguuma.

This is the basic build that I run (I didn’t fill out all the trinket stats). My armor is dire stats, warhorn is celestial, scepter is legendary so I can change the stats but it’s usually high healing power, trinkets are either celestial or something with either high condition damage or healing power.

Its the build from the thread below.
Earth/Air/Tempest with 100% uptime of:

  • Might ( >20 stacks)
  • Fury
  • Vigor
  • Swiftness
  • Regeneration
  • Protection (40%)

In combination with the Earth line (-10% damage from foes in close range) and Frost Aura (-10% dmg) you get a 60% incoming damage reduction.

Gear is Berserker with Rune of the Strength.

I wanted to run this build:

The gear is subject to change but rune and sigils are planned. I wanted to run d/wh. I thought about getting sinister gear because of power AND condi but i dont know how this would work with survability (ele is squishy as hell, we all know that) even with dmg mitigation.

I rarely run power stats for ele, I find strong condition damage or precision/ferocity to be better routes to take but that’s just me

That’s pretty rare in my experience. Most eles I know either run pure power or mix of power and celestial. That doesn’t mean condi’s eles are bad, it just means you’re a bit special.

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”

It suits my play style better I have my build set up 20-25 stacks of might at all times, that helps (PvE speaking of course, I don’t run condi in PvP)

All good, conditions are horrible in any setting against real players given the amount of condi clears everyone runs right now
