GW2. WvW Build. Support Tempest. Elementalist WvW.

Last Update: September 2023
The Support Tempest is a healer Elementalist build which has great utility with either the Staff for large AoE support and CC or powerful Aura Sharing capabilities with Double Daggers. It can out-of-combat swap between staff or daggers depending on the situation.
Fire Daggers Variant
Using Daggers and Fire traits, you can cleanse an immense amount of conditions by sharing auras and transmuting them (reactivating the Dagger Air 3 or Water 4) while also healing allies with the auras you share. Also Overloading Fire will share out plenty of Might to allies with the Pyromancer’s Puissance trait, making this a more aggressive option.
Basic Healing Rotation:
- Air 3×2 > Air Overload > 3
- Water 4×2 > Water 5 > Overload > 4
- Fire 3 > 4 > Overload
- Earth 3 > Swap Air
