October 2024

Introduction

Fresh Air Tempest is an easy build to learn, but it has a high skill ceiling to achieve maximum DPS. This is a very fast-paced build due to low cast times on your damaging skills besides Overload Air.

Build Fundamentals

Every time you start channeling an Overload, Lucid Singularity will pulse to allies around you, with a stronger application at the end of the cast.

Your main damage sources are Overload Air and Lightning Storm, which benefit from Fresh Air.

In short, cast Overload Air as much as possible. At the end of this skill, swap Attunements, activate Fresh Air, and go back to Air Attunement to Overload again.

TIP: It's important to remember that you can attunement swap while casting weapon skills without cancelling your skill.

Build Specifics

Know which elementals to spawn from Glyph of Elementals. It will often be the one in Fire Attunement.

• Glyph of Elementals Flame Barrage is the best for damage.
• Glyph of Elementals Crashing Waves has a knockback and area healing.
• Glyph of Elementals Shocking Bolt for .
• Glyph of Elementals Stomp has and .

For your rotation, you will be swapping between Air Attunement and Fire Attunement.

In Fire Attunement use Phoenix and alternate between Wildfire and Dragon's Tooth.

Use Lightning Orb and Lightning Storm when attuning into air, not before leaving it, to use the bonus from Fresh Air.

Use Lightning Strike, "Feel the Burn!" and Flame Barrage as often as possible. Don't delay attunement swapping to cast Lightning Strike!

If you need to swap to Water Attunement, use Shatterstone and Water Trident.

TIP: During the downtime between phases of an encounter, you can channel other Overloads, such as Overload Fire, Overload Water and Overload Earth to maintain uptime on allies, while also granting them other boons. Use Sand Squall while in Earth Attunement to extend boons duration on allies.
