Condition Alacrity Tempest

February 2023

Condition Alacrity Tempest is a versatile build that provides permanent Alacrity, 25 Might and Protection, as well as boon extension for other boons thanks to Sand Squall.

Multiple traits and utility skills can be modified to suit the specific requirements of different encounters.

Build Fundamentals

• Alacrity is applied when using overloads thanks to Lucid Singularity, so the rotation focuses on casting Overload Fire and Overload Earth off cooldown, filling in with damaging and boon providing skills in between.
• Finishing an overload grants a powerful effect and additional Alacrity, so always channel Overloads until the end!
• The basic attunement loop is Fire Attunement Air Attunement Earth Attunement, overloading on Fire and Earth.
  • Do not delay swapping attunements, as that will result in late Overloads and losing Alacrity
• Heat Sync spreads boons to allies, and Sand Squall extends the duration of boons on allies so make sure to cast both as soon as possible.
  • Delay Heat Sync after Overload Fire to share Might to allies too far away to get Might from Overload Fire.
• Use Glyph of Storms and Glyph of Lesser Elementals while on Fire Attunement
• Use Signet of Fire and Flame Barrage off cooldown

Additional tips

• While not part of the rotation, Water Attunement contains powerful healing in the form of Overload Water, blasting Water Globe with Frozen Burst, and Cone of Cold, it even has extra CC with Cone of Cold, so keep it in mind as it can immensely help out the team in a dangerous situation.
• Swapping attunements will not cancel skills, you can swap to Air Attunement after the last Drake's Breath without waiting for it to fully channel.
• Glyph of Lesser Elementals and Glyph of Elementals can be precast during downtime.
