Having played a similar build for a few seasons now, I've found that, with the 10s CD drop of Aftershock last patch, Aftershock grants much more utility, and damage than mist form without sacrificing much of the peel potential. It was incredibly noticeable how many less times I died and more times I turned the fight around or escaped after changing the build. The best part is how you can bridge the gap between magnetic auras by aftershocking before overloading earth. Oh yes, also it's great against melee classes as you can immobile them in your overloads or just to get out of range of a reaper or holo.
9:54 and 9:14 is why you DONT get Piercing Shards. It's bad, just get the fire remove on dodge. It's way better but i get that you want to play something new.
This build looks good but I think the shock therapy is far better. This build needs a seasoned player to make it work, and it looks like it will need a lot of good positioning and proper kiting for it to be effective, so I think I might pass on this build. What do you think, @vallun, is this build better than shock therapy in your opinion?. All in all, thank you so much @vallun for u amazing builds. I am maining tempests now thanks to you. I really appreciate all ur hard work
the role of the two builds is completely different, youd be comparing this to a rev or a necro because its taking up a dps slot not a support slot. But yes, it is less optimal in its role than necro and rev, and less optimal than support tempest is in another role
Yeah the shock therapist is fun support build I did change a few utility skills on it though to suit me, but this is much better at fighting, one shot skill is great as people don't expect it ;) God I hate ele lol
@@yemi6358 What I was referring to was the triple necromancer team composition. This was back when necro was severely broken right after the balance overhaul in February which nearly killed sPvP. Nothing about me merely sharing a laugh about this with people in the comment section makes me a "pro", and even if I were to generally be considered a very good player, what would it matter? That doesn't make me a bad person. It's actually often times people who play very casually that create and exacerbate that stereotype of toxic elitists, because they're too stubborn to accept help and have little patience to learn from others, so they take advice the wrong way, get defensive, and label the person helping them as an "elitist" instead. That's their alternative to feeling vulnerable; learning and being modest can challenge alot of people intrapersonally. And I mean, sure, they do exist; elitists. But most elite players (which can be a good thing) that I've known, across many online games, actually want to positively interact with and improve the community, not flame people for being inefficient or feed their egos. It's usually insecure or emotionally underdeveloped players whom do this, their level of skill and knowledge in the game have very little impact on determining whether or not they'll be a dick. TLDR: Triple Necro Comp because Anet balancing. It make me go haha. =P
I think you could point out interesting traits in PD condition thief. It’s what I’m currently running because I have muscle memory from back when condi thief was utterly broken. Up until purge it had been in utterly nerfed state. Now I think it’s very viable.
I fought someone running this last night in ranked and I think they bursted me 1 time while offering very little to the mid fight. I was playing support tempest. The burst is good but it's super easy to to be killed as the guy playing spent half his time running awaybor being in downstate
absolutely, not saying i played perfectly its just a showcasing of the build in a high pressure situation. I literally threw on the warhorn for the first time the night i made the vid
I am a huge fan of tempest warhorn ever since hot came out. It was most of the time considered a bad weapon but I can't look at any other weapon and find the same appeal (if I could use warhorn with Weaver It would be so great 😢)
They need to reduce the cc and movement impairing conditions on ele. Its fucking ridiculous that it can do it every 1/2 and you are just constantly not able to move and use skills. Too much free survivability from earth, need to reduce heal scaling on water too. All this while they build for mobility so its like you cant kill them no matter how out of position they get. Obviously in wvw this is fuckin on another level.
So I realized this build is REALLY good and works with a lot of different weapon sets. Try using Dagger Dagger, Dagger Warhorn, or even Scepter Dagger
Good to see some tempest love outside of support build!
What weapon set is best viable?
@@maxn4648 recently i hve been using dagger dagger
@@Vallun what motivated you to swap?
@@Vallun You reckon DD has easier rotation?

yea that sounds like it could work too, mist form is a bit slow and only good when outnumbered or focused without a team
love all the cool builds you're delivering, really helpful to make PvP more fun!
This build is nuts, feels like a proper glass canon mage

That trait is bugged and goes on cooldown every time u dodge even out if combat.
Thank you for this vid. I really want to play my ele tempest again. This was a nice vid ❤️
Woah the best quality match I've ever seen in gw2 pvp
41:44 nice kiting
This looks right up my alley to try, thank you 👍
Thank u so much really detailed, hope there is more video like this more :)
Really enjoy this build. muchos gracious...

Is it still viable after july balance patch?
Wow lmao you made a fa ele build. I'll give this a try for sure. But after the 2v2 season I have been taking a brake.
Out of context but you have a very soothing voice
Is this the same build you use for roaming in wvw?
Its a modest build that just kills
Your pvp Level is really 1434 ??? :O
I play 1 year and my pvp level is 100 wtf :D
Yeah the shock therapist is fun support build I did change a few utility skills on it though to suit me, but this is much better at fighting, one shot skill is great as people don't expect it ;) God I hate ele lol
I nearly died of laughter when I saw your team's comp.
Get a load of this "pro" player over here.

I like ur off beat builds :)
What is that area with the golems? How can i get there to train? Thanks for the video
Is this build top tier? Would playing it hold my team back?
Tempest lots of fun :)

What music is this playing over the top? It sounds like final fantasy I like it a lot
Is this build working for PvE as well? Just getting in to Ele and want to use one build to get used to the rotations ASAP
It does work but maybe use auras instead with sigils
whats that music in the background of the explanation part? its very nice!
into the abyss ffx ost
@@Vallun thank youuu
would this work in wvw?
Have you tried it out? I was curious as well. I'll try it out there sooner or later and see if I remember I'll report back.

What type of armor/ weapons stats you using?
It's pvp so stats don't matter as much, but I suggest you run marauder generally for all modes
Could you explain what gives you reflect?
warhorn 4 and earth overload with the unstable conduit trait
Does this still work?

How come u always have the movement speed? Blue buff
Air trait and weapon skills
template unreadable?
Better RUN if you see Noody !
Can someone link build the description doesn't work for me:(
you copy paste that code into the game, or just look at the first second of the video where the whole build is showing
Let's play a game everytime he says and you take a shot of vodka ok tell me how far you get
This build fell off pretty hard. Can't compete with scrappers guardians and other bunkers in the meta right now.
What are u talking about lol it can, got plat in 2v2 with this, also in 5v5 often most of top stats and kills/dmg etc
TFF been doin s/wh for like 6 months now...thought youd have something original.
Fail u PvP
gg ^^
are you still running this build ?
not really but its still one of my favorites
@@Vallun what are you running now if you don’t mind me asking
