Condition Alacrity DPS Tempest Build

GW2. Raid Build. Condition Alacrity Tempest. DPS Elementalist PvE.

The Condition Tempest is a DPS elementalist build that can give Alacrity, Protection, and Might to allies as well as provide some heals in difficult situations. It’s a relatively forgiving build to play that isn’t selfish because of how much utility it has, making it great for any team composition.

Playstyle

Role: DPS

If your job is to provide Alacrity, then maintain it by overloading attunements as often as possible. Always swap to the next attunement while casting a skill to minimize animation loss.

Basic Rotation Structure (It is not a strict rotation but this is a representation, some skills will change their place in the order each rotation):

• Fire 3 > 2 > Signets > Overload > 5 > 3 > 2
• Water 2 > 3
• Earth 3 > 2 > Signets > Overload > 5 > 3 > 2
• Water 2 > 3
• Repeat from Fire

Priority Skills:

The Signet of Earth and Fire also do great damage, but you want to use them at times when it is convenient to do so in your rotation because they can be used in any attunement. The best times to do so is after your Fire 3 > 2 or Earth 3 > 2 while waiting for your Overload, or when swapping attunements.

The Warhorn 5 skills in Fire and Earth are powerful but can only be used once per attunement swap, so they are the lowest priority skill to use. As long as you use them once it is fine, but do not delay using your Overload or Signets to do so. Warhorn 4 in Fire and Earth are entirely optional, but can provide great utility to your team and can be used as filler instead of pressing 1.

The Pistol 3 > 2 combo in Fire and Earth is the highest priority because you want to use this twice per attunement swap, meaning you will generally use it as soon as you swap into Fire/Earth and right before swapping out.

When you must CC, swap to Air and use the 4 and 2, then Water 4. Water Overload and Warhorn 4/5 can be used to heal your teammates when in high pressure situations.
