GW2. Support Aura Share Tempest PvP Build. Support Elementalist PvP.
The Support Aura Share Tempest is a powerful Support Elementalist PvP build that counters projectile builds and offers plenty of utility and healing for its allies. It heals mostly through sharing auras which means any time you gain an aura your nearby allies will gain them. Tempests can be squishy without allies to counter-pressure for them so they need to be mobile and maximize the 600 range of the aura sharing for safer positioning.
Dagger/Focus provides more mobile support and CC in melee by sharing Shocking Aura (the strongest aura). Then there is the choice between Fire and Earth traits, with Fire countering conditions and Earth countering Power damage.
With the fire trait Smothering Auras, you cleanse many conditions by transmuting or recasting the Fire 5 or Air 3 auras. Also, there is extra access to auras which can further heal your allies. However, the uptime on protection is rather low, making you rely on positioning and kiting to survive being focused.
Earth grants Protection whenever you apply an aura to an ally, allowing much more damage mitigation from bursts. However, you can be countered by chill much more easily with the lower condition cleanses.
Dagger Healing Rotation
- Air 3 > 3 > 4 > 5 > Swap Fire
- Fire 5 > 5 > 3 > > 2 > Overload Fire > 5 > 4 > Swap Earth
- Earth 3 > 2 > 4 > 5 > Swap Water
- Water 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > Water Overload
Stick in any of the attunements to get more value out of overloading in it if time permits. Use Earth Shield when waiting to Overload or when under heavy pressure. Use skill 3/4 for CC and skill 5 for invulnerability.
CCs: Air 3, Transmuting Air 3, Earth 3, Air 5, Earth Overload, Air Overload, Water 5, Tornado
Projectile Block/Reflect: Air 4, Earth 2/4, Earth Overload, Rebound (then swap to Earth)

Why do you taking cleansing water over powerful auras for the staff variant? Seems strange since you loose alot of elemental bastion synergy.
