Guild Wars 2

I play scepter dps ele in pvp at a decent level and I tried tempest in an Ar/A/T setup with scepter/focus. I was overall pleased with the sustained dps provided by overloading air and fire, which is something that scepter builds really lack. The healing skill was also great at saving other allies as well as myself, providing a 7k aoe heal even on marauder amulet.

However, the other overloads do not give enough to warrant using them other than out of desperation. The condi clear you have access to without the water traits is also very limited. The elite skill could be decent, but the cast time and delay on the buff make it hard to use. I did not really test shouts or warhorn since they didn’t work well with my setup.

Here are some suggestions to make the spec work a little better:

1: Lower charge up time for overloads to 3 or 4 seconds

2: Make a trait that gives you defence/disengage worth the 20sec lockout while channeling certain overloads

3: Nerf the heal to 5k base and add condi clear to it

4: Make the elite shout as well as its buff activate instantly
