GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Tempest Roaming Build. Tempest. Elementalist World vs World.
Last Update: January 2024
Overview
A hybrid build for Tempest that has great survivability due to having many cleanses and the heavy protection uptime through auras. The celestial stats with the might generated from Fire Attunement can deal decent damage from conditions mostly in the Fire and Earth attunements while the Air attunement grants great mobility and CC to set up your damage.
The sheer survivability from having permanent improved protection from Tempest against power damage and Smothering Auras for conditions, means you can stick to your enemies in melee range very easily, constantly triggering Geomancy and Doom sigils on them for decent damage.
Use auras and transmute them for a total of 3 condition cleanse accessible in the air and water attunement. Earth and fire attunements are where the damage happens. Try to always stay to overload fire and earth attunement every time you go into them. Use your abilities as soon as you can to heal yourself with Signet of Restoration passive effect and use the active effect if necessary.
With Written in Stone your signets will keep the passive effect when used and will give you an extra aura that will inherit all the synergy mentioned above.
Basic Rotation: Air 4 > 3 > 5 > 3 > 2 > “Aftershock!” > Swap Fire
Fire 3 > 2 > 4 > Swap Earth
Earth 3 > 2 > 4 > 5 > Swap Air or Water if you need healing

Could you be so kind to return the hybrid support variant for the small scale roaming please? If it is possible. Thank you!
I removed it because it wasnt performing good anymore, there is more damage overall on enemies now and a support celestial don’t have enough self sustain nor enough healing. I suggest you go the zerg build here https://guildjen.com/support-tempest-wvw-zerg-build/
Still if you want the traits for the old variant here is: [&DQYfKRErMD91AAAAdBIAAB0BAACQAAAAmRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]
Thank you for the answer! Thank you for the traits!
Is stone hard still of any use after the change? 4s and 2s doesnt sound very helpful.
a nerf doesn’t mean its unusable, and name a better option
This build is still strong. Really love it. Only 2 clicks from a D/D Zerg Support to a nice Roaming Class give me a lot of fun.
Can scepter focus work as well.
Sure but will be worst mobility
