GW2. Support Staff Tempest PvP Build. Support Elementalist PvP.
The Support Staff Tempest is a powerful Support Elementalist PvP build that offers plenty of utility and healing for its allies. It heals mostly through combos and blast finishers. Tempests can be squishy without allies to counter-pressure for them so they need to be mobile and maximize the range of the skills to keep a safer positioning.
Staff and Earth traits provide a balance between a condition and power counter due to the Earth traits which give Protection and the condition cleanse from Diamond Skin. It can provide great utility and control in many situations, but is often an easier target, requiring you to make the most of the staff ability ranges.
Blasting Combo Finishers into Combo Fields will trigger the cleansing from Diamond Skin and the healing from the Karakosa Relic. If an aura is created by the Ice Field blast it will also provide all of the other other benefits of granting Auras such as cleansing, protection, and additional healing.
Staff Healing Combos
Use any of the Blast Finishers inside the Combo Fields to create Frost Auras and Healing combos
- Combo Fields: Water 3/4/5
- Blast Finishers: Water 2, Earth 2/3, “Aftershock!”
Also, heal allies by aiming the Water 1 at them if you are completely out of cooldowns.
Overloads are not as important as you do not share the aura you gain. Instead, focus on the combos or disabling enemies.
CCs: Air 3/5, Earth 4/5, Earth Overload, “Aftershock!”

Does the Cleansing wave trait work with the staff? You don’t have off-hand dagger so you do not have the skill at all… I am new so I am not sure how this trait work without the skill
You don’t need the dagger skill, the trait will activate when you swap to water.
