GW2. WvW Build. Support Tempest. Elementalist WvW.
Last Update: April 2024
The Support Tempest is a healer Elementalist build for WvW squads 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 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 > Swap Water
- Water 3 > 4×2 > Water 5 > Overload > 4 > Swap Fire
- Fire 3 > 2 > Overload > 4 > Swap Earth
- Earth 4 > 5 > 3 > Overload > Swap Air
Be sure to use the blast finishers from Water 3 and Earth 4/5 in your Fire/Air fields to trigger the Karakosa Relic for more healing to your allies.
