Good 5v5 tempest support build?

[insistent.8369]

Yo, i have been trying https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Tempest_-_D/F_Auramancerfor some time now, but it doesnt feel right most of the time, when most allies are around fighting it works well, sometime with only 1 ally close, but when i am alone i cant do much except holding up and hoping someone will come...Overall im looking good build focusing on helping others, aura sharing is great, but i dont know all that much about pvp change, and i was wondering if someone know a good builds for my need?

Thanks!

Two variations you can run water earth tempest for protection or water fire tempest for condi removal.

Personally, condi removal is more valuable these days

had some mild success with this. horn fire is pretty sweet since might was nerfed, you can give a ton to everyone. earth is also great. water and air aren't so much.

the meta battle build is outdated, theres no reason to run earth anymore with dmg nerfs.

That's because the build is designet to support allies, not to sustain itself. You're practically useless on your own so stay around allies.

Thanks for the builds guys, im hesitating between the power and condi builds, i was thinking condi may be better since the overcharge take a while, i dunno tho.

And yeah, but problem is that often allies just fight outside of capture zone while its empty, i get there alone to get it but then its a waste since i get alone and cant support.

If it happens often then don't play support tempest. You can play the old s/d water weaver which doesn't hit very hard or supports as much as tempest, but is almost unlikable when solo and has some heals for allies as well.
