I know you mentioned you don't like the idea of prestocking bullets but I would suggest stocking a Water bullet before a fight because that means the input for it becomes 3, then 2 like every other attunement. One less thing to have to be thinking about during fights.
How do you not have more subscribers:D your content is really high quality, please keep it up! And goes without saying, condi tempest is brilliant. Thanks for making me play it more again!
Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate it. Tempest is easily my favorite of the Ele specs. Super looking forward to trying Power Tempest soon and reliving the Heart of Thorns glory days.
Make sure to apply all conditions to the golem and boons to yourself. If you're still struggling you can always upload a DPS log to the Build Advice channel in our discord and I can help you more :)
So, as much as I love this build, I don't really like using a pistol on ele, feels kinda weird and clunky for me..does scepter work instead of pistol? if possible do you know what the rotation would look like?
Great build and extremely comfortable voice :) I would also love to see a guide for power cata. Since cata. is way harder than tempest, at least in my opinion.
Hey Connor just starting the game again (stopped playing within the first expansion heart of thornes). i got a ascended celestial set . just for open world completion etc. do u think this build will somewhat work even if i dont have the requierd set stats ? for some elites and even missions, even if i do less dps but have more surviavability?
Hi, don't know if you'll see this message. I'm trying the build (full dps version) but i can't go higher than 29k...and it seems i'm doing exactly the same stuff. I have same stats, runes, sigils, food and utils...actually food is +70 expertise and +100 condition dmg I checked your stats, i have 160 more condition damage, 120 less expertise and 8% less condi duration... you think this is enough difference to justify 30k? In terms of speed i think i'm doing pretty well...i don't understand :P
Hi, the main thing that comes to mind is to make sure you add all conditions to the golem (especially vulnerability) as well as boons to yourself. The 25% from vulnerability would account for the difference. Other than that, it's hard to say without looking at a recording or a DPS Log. If you're able to upload a DPS log to the build advice channel on our Discord then it will be way easier to help.
This is a very timely upload because I've been dusting off my Elementalist for mostly WvW purposes so this is the right push to get me back into the habit of doing strikes with it. Is Quick Catalyst still super sweaty to play or have the new weapons and updates done anything to make it more accessible yet?
Quick cata is still horrible to play You have warhorn earth 4 which helps a bit with boon uptime but nonetheless its design is still really bad… Play tempest (or weaver) but stay away from cata until anet rework the spec (or let it regen energy always…pls a bit passively)
Power Catalyst I found fine to play. Quickness Catalyst I didn't have a great time with however. It was WAY more work to keep up boons compared to so many other Quickness providers for no extra payoff.
Would not recommend it Primary dmg source is burning You will loose out by only focusing on bleeding Viper gives decent power dmg, but you can more by focusing on trapper (yeah i know they are expensive…)
Mad King wouldn't be idea because you're missing out on the burning duration like Cross said. However, Rune of the Tempest and Rune of the Nightmare are passable alternatives if you're stuck.

That's a very good point :) I'll make sure to try that next time I take Condi Tempest out raiding.

i practiced the rotation till i got it but after testing i cant get over 28k
Same, getting 25-28k. Same everything, not even close to 41k

@@connorconcarne ok that took me upto 37k without infusions
Great guide, I wish I would've found it sooner. Enjoying power tempest lately and now I found the fitting condi build for it!
So, as much as I love this build, I don't really like using a pistol on ele, feels kinda weird and clunky for me..does scepter work instead of pistol? if possible do you know what the rotation would look like?
Great build and extremely comfortable voice :) I would also love to see a guide for power cata. Since cata. is way harder than tempest, at least in my opinion.
is this still viable . i really love the idea of using a pistol
Absolutely, this build is still totally viable. Still my favorite way of playing Condi Tempest.
ohh i though for a second it was p/p :D imagine p/p viable.. on frckin ele!
I would love to see Pistol/Pistol on Ele as well haha. Hope you enjoy it :)
maybe someday somehow :) any alternative on offhand? focu or dagger maybeh? also what with tempetuous aria, theres no use of shouts?
Thanks! Excellent Tempest guide, I'm trying this one. Helpful having footage in raids/strikes and not just the golem. Great rotation explanation, too!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the guide and found it useful :)
welp. time to make a new eli. you have me hooked, love the builds you make. keep up the good work, love the editing job you do
Why thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I man, i don't come on YT so often but it's unbelievable i wasn't subscribed to you yet! :P
Make more videos ;)
Thanks so much mate! Worry not... more videos are in the works.
Sir delete this video before Anet finds it ur gunna get us nerfed
Just finished my new elemental char 2 hrs ago and then this video came up!
Great timing and great video! Thanks a lot!
You're most welcome! Enjoy your new Ele :)

Great video by the way :P
just came back to game after like 10yrs would all exotics be ok with this or do i need to farm ascended gear 1st?
Exotics would be a totally fine place to start. I've got a gearing guide as well which you might find helpful ua-cam.com/video/NguXpi1GfUc/v-deo.html
@@connorconcarne ill check it out m8 ty
Hey Connor what do you think of the alacrity providing variant which runs some ritualist / concentration gear? Is it actually viable?
Hey :),The alacrity providing version is perfectly viable. I run it on occassion when the group needs an alacDPS build.
Great stuff but I will stick to my fire camping scepter build still doing 38k :)
Yeees, another Connor-guide🎉
I've got you :)
Even though I don’t play Ele this was a great video to watch for the references. The office one tho ahahah
Thanks so much mate! Ele has been far from my main class since core GW2 days but this has been my favorite DPS build I've come across for a while now.
@@connorconcarne
I’m not sure I am fast enough with my fingers and brain to use it ahahah

ty again!
Just tried it i went to 36k immediately, without food and oil :)
@@manuelmusetti5026 Hi, I am having the same problem, just doing at most 27~28k. Did you do something different?
Have to try, thanks for the great Video. What alternative can I use for Trapper Rune?
You're very welcome. Rune of the Lich is a very cheap alternative which still gives you a decent amount of Condi Duration. A good placeholder option.
Thanks !

@@connorconcarne would you be interested in sharing your power cata build (easy version)? 🤗
Is scepter condi still viable?
Totally, it's still a viable build. You can just run Scepter/Focus and camp Fire Attunement for decent DPS.
Any alternatives for relic of fractal?
There are really not many great alternatives to Relic of the Fractal unfortunately.
@@connorconcarne Alright, ty for the response
bro why party heath bar is so big !
also would mad king rune be ok?
Would not recommend it
Primary dmg source is burning
You will loose out by only focusing on bleeding
Viper gives decent power dmg, but you can more by focusing on trapper (yeah i know they are expensive…)

@@connorconcarne tks! i went all in eventually, because ele worth any investment :)
