GW2. Support Tempest PvP Build. Elementalist.

Last Update: September 2023
Fire Dagger Variant
The Aura Share Tempest is a powerful Support which 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. Always bring Glyph of Renewal to revive your allies.
With the fire trait Smothering Auras, you cleanse many conditions by transmuting those 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.
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 3/4 for CC and the 5 for invulnerability.
