Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 49 minutes ago, kara.2893 said: High roaming DPS? Tempest's DPS lies in multi-target AOEs. Or in other words: quantity over quality. To get half decent single target DPS, you need to get so squishy you'll just wipe or loose support ability. Aside from +1 it doesn't do much as a roamer. That's exactly what the better ones are doing right now though. They just go Fresh Air level DPS with Light Rod, play as a Roamer +1, and grant supplemental utility from their Aura Share. It's actually a decent Roamer. You just need to know the difference between Roamer, Team Fighter, Side Node. Don't get caught out of position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet trashed Tempest in the update and that's ok. I just want to know if it will get fixed so I can move on to something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimsley.3681 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Ele traits, in this case the Tempest, needs re-work because it's overly reliant on amulets for certain roles to function. If you take the short cut route of removing amulets, you literally destroy diversity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out what people do right now to make Tempest somewhat viable. And what the hell does trolling Necro topics have anything to do with this?

Do you intend to pick Tempest out of the trash tier any time soon? Tempest is the second best supporter and offers high value 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scourge is second best, somewhat closer to viable and for a lower skill cap. Tempest has to pack so much self-sustain its on-demand team value tanks and requires a higher skill cap to milk. /Shouts rambling On I mean, aura-share on overloads is cute, but shouts currently just pack neither the same self-sustain as cantrips nor the same rez power as the glyph. Yes, even if you build for it with fire trait line and rune of the soldier, loosing toughness btw. Cast times means you are dead before using the useful ones when stunned. And the whole aura-share thing doesn't even work as advertised. I mean, if I give others and myself an aura, shouldn't other allies get another extra aura? Think Mark, think! /Shouts rambling Off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small pvp updates still roll out frequently, and minor adjustments to shouts would fit there. If nothing else, bumping the topic every once in a while at least earns me feedback from other players and raises their awareness not to invest in the spec as is.
