GW2. Power Air Tempest Roaming Build. WvW Elementalist. Fresh Air. Lightning Rod.
Last Update: January 2024
The Air Tempest is an elementalist build that makes use of the powerful overload abilities to do tons of damage. Combined with the Weakness from Lightning Rod and the Protection uptime, this otherwise squishy build can still survive with a more aggressive DPS playstyle.
Main Combos:
Precast Might: Fire Overload > Fire 4 > Swap Earth > 4
Damage Combo: Air 4 > 5 > Air Overload + 3 > 3 > 2 > Swap Fire > 3
Healing Combo: Water 4 > 5 > 3 > Swap Earth > 4 > 3
“Aftershock!” can be used at any time to blast more might or healing, and to immobilize enemies so they cannot evade your damage combo. It will also give a magnetic aura which will reflect projectiles, and this can also be gained by Overloading Earth or Earth 4.
