GW2. Raid Build. Fresh Air Tempest. DPS Elementalist PvE.

Role: DPS

The Fresh Air Power Tempest is a DPS elementalist build with wide cleaving damage and great utility for its team including the ability to output might and fury for the party in its rotation.

Prioritize using the Air Overload as much as possible. Use the instant Air Attunement recharge from Fresh Air to swap back into Air instantly after casting the highest damaging Water and Fire spells. Always use the instant cast Lightning Strike and Flame Barrage (Glyph of Elementals activation) whenever possible, during Overload Air is the easiest time to do so.

Because you gain the most damage modifiers right after you enter Air Attunement due to Fresh Air, try to swap into Air during the animations of your final Fire and Water skills to get the extra damage on them. Use “Feel the Burn!” whenever is convenient, but right after swapping to Air Attunement will deal slightly more damage.

Basic Rotation

• Air 5 > Air Overload > 2/3 > Finish Overload > Swap Water
• Water 2 > 3 > Swap Air
• Glyph of Storms > Air Overload > 2/3 > Finish Overload > Swap Fire
• Fire 2 > 5 > 3 > Swap Air

Preemptively cast Glyph of Elements in Fire Attunement, and repetitively use the instant cast while overloading.

Skip Fire 5 every other rotation since it will be on cooldown, and use Glyph of Storms and/or Air 5 when you have a small window of time between swapping into Air and using Air Overload.

CC: Air 4, Water 4
