Welcome back friends! I'm glad to put out another video! Hope you guys enjoy this! If you'd like to support the channel please subscribe! Its free and helps a ton! ALSO! IF I ever mention focus I meant warhorn! Don't use a focus on this build! This build is fun and man does it pack a punch. Definitely give it a try! Until next time friends! 🎉
Thanks for this! I was in the SC discord a few days ago trying to figure out a FA Tempest that would be less APM since I have nerve issues in my hands that high APM rotations cause big problems with. This is similar to what I was trying (but better) and the breakdown is great to get a visual on priority. The sword rotation gives some good downtime in air that's very helpful.
Nice build! I've been tyoing around with power tempest after the scepter changes too :) I have some remarks on the open world build though. A lot of them are a matter of preference ofc, but maybe someone can gain some inspiration from them: 1) have you tried using relic of zakiros on this? Feels like as much safer option than durability. It also allows you go for a much more damage-oriented approach at a fairly low damage loss and makes group ow content a breeze. You also reach ~90% protection without it, so i don't really see what the utility of durability is here. 2) Scepter provides roughly the same damage and is ranged at the same time, so that you only have to go into melee range for overloads. Felt like a big improvement in open world given the relatively low mobility of the build. 3) Suggesting dragon gear doesn't really make sense to me. Health doesnt really help with survivability much as long as you have enough mitigation, condi cleanses and healing. This way you're making people get an (expensive) whole second gear set, which comes at a damage loss and no relevant gain in survivability. Using -10% damage taken food and relic of zakiros will go a longer way than having the health from dragon gear already. If you use soothing power, you gain 3k health anyway. 4) I'd recommend taking the alacrity trait by default for open world. Makes people around you stronger and is not a large damage loss in solo gameplay over transcendent tempest. Just dive into water on cooldown and swap back after using 2 + 3. Use air overload on CD and you'll maintain close to full alac. Get a bit of boon duration (by using arcane instead of water) and you'll cover alac easily. Alac also makes covering other boons easier. 5) Using strength sigils is a money trap for beginners. In order to make it stronger than a force sigil, you have to be in combat for 5-6 seconds and it is worse than a force sigil in any scenario where you have external sources of might. You also have a good might (and damage) source right there in tempest with tempestuous aria! Here's the build I'd suggest (only requires you to swap one weapon and a ring between dps and OW): gw2skills.net/editor/?PGwEsE2qMC2CrhtxIxyayvdC-DyQYhopjfH0QYElAVFg5BigEGTAso/ZEA-e Here's an example golem with a moderate damage area and a breeze-through hero point: th-cam.com/video/D0vFRs7JENM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Masel! All great suggestions! Your build is definitely incredibly solid! I thought all the things you said through before, I don't know if there is a right or wrong, seems to be preference, but I did toy around with a few options. Here were my conclusions. 1. Scepter (extreme opinion) did not like it. It felt impractical since a lot of your damage is from channeling the scepter air autos. I found if I ever cancelled them it was a massive damage loss. Plus you need to be closeish for the air overload anyway. But I won't get into which is better since both are good and it would be like apples and oranges. For me scepter wasn't my favorite. 2. Force versus strength. Good points, keeping force is probably a better option, I'll adjust that. 3. Aria trait/alac trait. Aria for extra damage and might, is a good choice, I just chose to go for more regen/vigor. I also didn't feel the need for alac as fresh air does the heavy lifting anyway. But I definitely see your point about groups. 4. Dragon gear definitely helps, but I debated if I should use it, and came to the conclusion that it's more readily available now, and having both dragon and berserker gear isn't a bad option. Getting something like cavalier would definitely be sketchy but dragon is good to have around anyway. The extra hp provides a buffer. That's why I kept the weapons berserker because dragon weapons are less common. 5. Relic is kind of a personal choice. So many options are good. The mount one that gives you boons is also a good option. But I chose this one because it gives more prot and resolution and regen, which can help in situations where you need a buffer of prot. It just makes it less stressful. But trying zakiros again it's the better option so I've made that change! Thanks! All in all great suggestions thanks Masel. Those are my thoughts. EDIT: Tried out some things and updated the build to a better fit. Thanks again!
Waiting on some cool videos from you, too, buddy. Don't let ShillUp keep you too busy :) I leveled my first toon to 80 yesterday and diving through your videos to try and gear her up now.
Isn't your off hand in rotation section of video, a Warhorn not Focus but I get what you mean. and BTW can I use this with Celestial instead and if went that route, how was it compare to Dragon and mix Berserker/Assassin?
If you're going Celestial you're better off using a condition build as a base (condi Tempest for instance) because all of the condition boosing stats are wasted on power builds, but the power stats are still moderately useful for condition builds.
Power Tempest looks amazing, what happend? Just before this saw power tempest video 45k using Scepter/Warhorn with Water Traits ... I recall Tempest being weakest of the three ele DPS builds 😅
Last Tuesday's patch boosted Air Overload quite a bit, as well as the power damage of most Scepter skills. Combined, these buffs basically brought Fresh Air Tempest back out of the grave it's sat in since HoT.
Oh this was a fortuitous suggestion by the algorythm. I did thought of making a Tempest to use the voice of metal warhorn skin just today! But i dont have Soto, so i cant use the sword, should i go for dagger or scepter in the main hand then? I dont really play ele so im not too familiar with it yet 😅
Thanks for a good looking build. I am blind, I can't actually see the build. Am I missing something? I don't see it in the video and can't find a link here at all.
What tips and tricks aren't been told in the video that make all the difference between getting 33k and 42k? What skill cancelations need to be watched for?
Can't pull anywhere near these numbers. Capping out at 25K on Golem both Average / Large hitboxes on Weak or Average Enemies. I've been playing a good 9 years as an Ele main but I still can't figure out what I'm doing different tbh as the rotation is somewhat identical. Full Ascended/Leggie gear, same food and buffs so I'm a bit confused.

Awesome! I'll try it out! Good to have you back!
Was dying of old age waiting on you, glad to have you back!
The Return of the Jedi Avenger
So glad to see a new video from you!
The Return of the KING 👑
Waiting on some cool videos from you, too, buddy. Don't let ShillUp keep you too busy :)
I leveled my first toon to 80 yesterday and diving through your videos to try and gear her up now.
omg, this air tempest looks amazing. I'm gonna build this just for the looks alone.
2 hours ago i visited ur channel looking for the build. Thx
SO Great to see you back!
the man, the myth, the legend is back.
Scott Sterling, face tanking dead elementalist.
He's Back, baby.
Definitely going to give this a try.
Also in your tooltips during the rotation section they say focus instead of warhorn.
Oops definitely meant warhorn!
Isn't your off hand in rotation section of video, a Warhorn not Focus but I get what you mean.
and BTW can I use this with Celestial instead and if went that route, how was it compare to Dragon and mix Berserker/Assassin?

I've been trying to turn this version into an adps, works on golem but its very tight with 44% bd
Good evening Mr Mystic, thanks for your video, I learned something.
Hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for your support!
Fantastic music, as always, good sir :D
finally a new video!!!
The champ is back
isn't scepter power tempest the stronger Fresh Air build right now?
Mystic has a new build to showcase? Stop everything, grab my notebook and learn The Good Stuff!
Power Tempest looks amazing, what happend?
Just before this saw power tempest video 45k using Scepter/Warhorn with Water Traits ... I recall Tempest being weakest of the three ele DPS builds 😅

was this build recently nerfed?
Open world looks pretty rough. You're doing
The video was an older variant I was using. The updated open world build is in the description.
Can't imagine a world were they let Tempest sit above Weaver. Nerf inc.
Oh this was a fortuitous suggestion by the algorythm. I did thought of making a Tempest to use the voice of metal warhorn skin just today!
But i dont have Soto, so i cant use the sword, should i go for dagger or scepter in the main hand then? I dont really play ele so im not too familiar with it yet 😅
scepter is very good with this build
the build links don't seem to be working for me and i can't remember the gear used for this build, does anybody know?
Is it viable if I keep all stats/sigils/traits and just change sword to scepter? :)
hes baaaack!!
He’s back! Hell yes.
Thanks for a good looking build. I am blind, I can't actually see the build. Am I missing something? I don't see it in the video and can't find a link here at all.
@@stevenyager819 It's all in the description of the video!
@@MrMystic1 was no link when I viewed it on my computer. I see it on my phone. Thanks sorry for the trouble
What tips and tricks aren't been told in the video that make all the difference between getting 33k and 42k? What skill cancelations need to be watched for?
beats me, i guess we gotta be very fast
hi. will this work with water trait? any significant dps losses? hard to ignored 15k hp with that trait 🤣
easy rotation > more health :D
Awesome build! Awesome music! Pure fun! Thank you!
finally a new ele open world build
This is raid build
@@TH-camChillZone there's also open world build given too
gemiddeld dps/s?
Can't pull anywhere near these numbers. Capping out at 25K on Golem both Average / Large hitboxes on Weak or Average Enemies. I've been playing a good 9 years as an Ele main but I still can't figure out what I'm doing different tbh as the rotation is somewhat identical.
Full Ascended/Leggie gear, same food and buffs so I'm a bit confused.
Does the golem have conditions?
My best score for that build is 35k dps. But i use all exotic - can it affect ?
Exotic vs legy is just +5% more DPS with legy.
just tried this on the golem and got 58k/s dps
maybe you used the low health (short parsing = higher dps) and/or big hitbox golem (multihit is real)?
Hey, is this build still relevant?
Is it still viable?
yes
You came back looking like Gojo lol
Thats warhorn, Not Focus 😊
Scepter is better
Scepter is harder to manage, sword is more practical imo, but both are great options.
