Guild Wars 2

It is possible to take a lot of damage during the overload, in not doing any time of course, with a dps build and the appropriate runes and sigils.
However, at the present time, is not direct damage affecting the build tempest fresh air, but the ease of interruption of the overloads and alterations.

The problem of the tempest in a dps role is that it is too easily interruptible and very susceptible to alterations.
But the difficulty associated with improving these points, is not to make the tempest unkillable when it has a specialization of support.

Here are 3 suggestions for improving traits or utilities that would improve the tempest in an offensive specialization without affecting too much of a specialization of support:

- Weak spot (air trait): With a fresh air tempest build, this trait has little use, as overload air already applies vulnerability. A trait offering the buff fury on the passage in affinity air or moving in its place the trait “zephyr’s boon” would allow a better synergy with this specialization and would not impose to specialize in arcane necessarily.

- Harmonious conduit (tempest trait): It would be necessary to change this trait, which offers only one stack of stability of 4 seconds, in the manner of the infusing terror skill of the reaper’s shroud which applies stability every second for 5 seconds. This is an example but this could be on the order of 4 times 1,5 seconds of stability.

- Signet of water : This sign is strictly for nothing : 1 condition cured every ten seconds in passive effect and chilled 4 seconds in activation.
One can imagine something more adapted to a build that offers very little defense against alterations.
For example, passive effect : 180 vitality and active effect : Apply buff resistance 3 times 2 seconds, in the manner of the warrior’s “berserker stance” skill.
