Guild Wars 2

mostly last sundays roaming.

im actually pretty happy with tempest. the potential in more stunbreaks, better condi cleanses and more dmg all in all is very promissing. all it takes is start to think ahead and i think it will be fun to exactly learn that.

biggest issue at start was the lower healthpool with guardstacks gone. next issue the power creep thats goin on. runes and food will offer u stats to ur own preference in terms of getting toughness and vita cause i dont see anymore use in running anti condi food with air-water-temp.

one other big issue with tempest freshair is that u get easily blinded by big numbers and forget about ur defense. protection doesnt come around easily.

classic dd offered u a good frame of what u had to do and when. freshair opened that frame up with mostly one offensiv and one defensiv atunement option with air blind also being defensiv. with tempest u add on that the options to overload for the sake of boons/stunbreaks and/or overload effects.

its very easy to make the wrong choices but it feels so rewarding to do the right ones.

Very nice. Do you mind linking your build. As a new player to ele I am looking for any help you could provide. Would you switch up your spec at all for a 5 man roaming group? Does celestial work well with tempest? What do you think of the catnip heal since it has loads of Condi cleansing?

Nice video/skills. Thanks for sharing!
This build is interesting.

you are a skilled person,

but tempest still looks like a downgrade to ele..
this very stupid self interrupt HAS TO GONE.

we need small changes @ anet:
1) overloading 4 sec → 3 sec
2) while overloading → you can swich attunement without self interrupting
3) Harmonious Conduit → baseline
4) recharge 20 sec → 15 sec

Thank you @ anet!

Yup, pretty much everyone’s concern and problem with the current Tempest.

I actually like these changes and feel like they are more than doable.
