Good vid, not the standard support tempest build and you actually pump out respectable condition damage. I could see that you focus on pumping out damage more than actually supporting as there were times wherein you chose to swap attunements/continue DPSing instead of healing/overloading water (which was really crucial for your teammates at some points).

However, I find it extremely weird that your enemies usually choose to focus the reaper instead of an offhand Warhorn Tempest. Pretty sure the outnumbered fights would have gone the other way if they had focused you right at the bat instead. The first 20-30 seconds of a fight is usually enough to tell what utilities your enemies are using if anyone is really paying attention. It would have been easy to capitalize on focusing you if they knew that you had no Mist Form nor Obsidian Flesh.

Thanks!

I mean, most of my support comes through auras and their healing anyway. I only really overload water in ‘oh kitten’ moments and it’s always a gamble whether I get it off or not and depending on where my teammate is I may almost die in the process (and then there’s those that like to run away from me and my healing). It’s true though, I sometimes forget I’m supposed to support more than do damage :p though killing the enemies faster also helps take pressure off the team.

Well, it’s no secret that when winning outnumbered fights your enemies generally aren’t the best. If they were actually good there should be no reason to win outnumbered (if outnumbered by more than 2 or so). Though even if focused, I usually survive surprisingly well (unless it’s multiple thieves) or long enough for our dps to free dps and it ends up with them dying anyway.
The main thing that really gets me is condi damage and more specifically condi reapers with their transfers and chill.
It’s a bigger problem in GvGs which this build just isn’t the best for tbqh.
