Smallscale support tempest?

[Heizero.9183]

Recently Ive been having fun messing around with support tempest but generally I am a roamer.

I understand how support tempest fits into large scale and which utils and traits I like to run in a large group, however I really want to modify the meta zerg tempest build to fit better with a group of 6-10 roamers.

I currently run the standard fire/water/temp d/f with trooper runes. But I dont feel like this is optimal for a smaller havoc group.

What changes to trait/util/weapon/runes do you guys recommend for a type of "roaming" specialized support tempest?

Personal preference is to use staff. Drop aura share for cleansing water if condi damage is an issue.

Staff for me, too. This is what I run:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGQAYlNwQYKsEWJmSXutNA-zVRYeBfGFszITFQvSANOA-wMaximum fightcontrol.Arcane shield can be swapt acording to the circumstances, lightning flash if you want more mobility, aftershock for even more immob.

A pure condi aura support (non healing) tempest i been having fun with i am not sure how it would work in a small group but it seems ok for bigger groups.

This is not comply my ideal though i did mod it from the old version.

The old auramancer D/F build (that is made obsolete in large fights by Scrapper) is very very good in small scale, where the auras actually make a big difference.

Run it with aftershock for best results

Have you ever tired this in pvp? I've been looking to try a more half support half damage build for tempest.

I could never get into Spvp so i never tryed it there. In wvw its a very glass build but it has good counter play vs ranged players and "def minded" players. Ppl who roll backwards get destroyed by it.

I like stop drop and roll to snipe burning out of condi train when I play this kind of Tempest build
