Tempest Love Guide by Cherries

I guess it depends if your Vigorous set is enchanted with 30hp/2con.

Hmmmmmmm if that's the case.

What about... S2 set FOC with defense + jewelry with 30 HP/2 CON. With 15 of these you can have 600 extra HP.

I can get close to S1 set's defense with S2 FOC set enchanted with 10-10 xeons. And you know, S1 sets are harder to +, and I'm not much into being an item mall slave. So with S2 FOC I even have the extra crit % (8-9%) and SCAD. If I use S1 set when I level up, and use skill crit xeons instead of HP on those 15 slots on current jewelry pieces I only get 7.5%- can't compare to what FOC set can give. And more importantly the extra SCAD that boosts my critical damage by a quite obvious amount, especially on those with higher/capped resistance. Looks like giving up too much on damage for the survivability, no? http://forums.warppo...tyle_emoticons/default/icon_banghead.gif

I've never tried S1 sets, but I'm deciding if I should level up on my Tempest and I think I can get a S1 VL set if I want.

Hmmmmmmm if that's the case.

First, why would you level up?

Errrrr repetitive FOC got boring with one char and I think you said it's going to be 69 bracket.

Main problem is that S1 VL was never meant to be a Tempest set; so unless you find by luck 4 pieces 6/6 with 30hp/2con Xeons (), you would be better off with FoC if you have a nice set.

Never mind then. Should get my evil little elf to 65 first. My turn to stun those helpless little turans harhar.

Stunning a Turan should get you the death penalty. :x

More lowbie questions, why is spending DNA points on elec mastery a waste?

who said that D;

Hmmm someone! Say if I'm to level up should I get like 10/5 lesser heal and 10 on % mastery? >.>

Okay!

Swift Lesser Heal Lvl 5 is a must have. 5/25

Then your choices are:

• Strenghtened Lesser Heal.
• Holy Light Intensification.
• Magic Weapon Mastery Intensification.
• Magic Mastery(Elec) Intensification.

I would personally go with Strenghtened Lesser Heal Lvl 10 since Lesser Heal is one of the most important spells for a Tempest. 15/25

Lvl 6 could be enough yus! 11/15


I would need a veteran Tempest to correct me if I'm wrong about that one since I wasn't a Tempest for very long; Magic Mastery(Elec) only increase your skills % base damage, like the Forsaker's Master of Fire skill.

I personally went 7 points in Magic Mastery(Elec) as a Lvl 78 newbie Tempest, kept one point in case for Lvl 81 Magic Mastery(Elec) DNA Lvl 8 then went one point in Holy Light Intensification and one point in Magic Weapon Mastery Intensification.

Holy Light DNA Lvl 1 = 27
Holy Light DNA Lvl 10 = 62

I personally don't think that DNA is worth more than one point since you get almost 50% of the DNA already with a single point. >>

Magic Weapon Mastery Lvl 1 = 12
Lvl 2 = 13
Lvl 5 = 19
Lvl 6 = 31
Lvl 10 =45

Here again 1 point is pretty good since you get over 25% of the DNA with it. It's a waste until you go for at least Lvl 6 since there's a massive increase from Lvl 5 to Lvl 6.


If you don't like walls of texts..

Swift Lesser Heal Lvl 5
Strenghtened Lesser Heal Lvl 6-10 (Squishy tempest low hp shouldn't need more than Lvl 6 I guess o.o)

Then depending on your level, max Magic Mastery(Elec) % DNA, pour the rest of the points in Magic Weapon Mastery if you can get Lvl 6 at least and Lvl 1 Holy Light at least; if not, pour the rest in Holy Light DNA. ~

I'll let Mooi correct me xD

gah max dna for lesser streng is
well maybe just my temp but i can heal more then i have hp with just lvl6 dna on streng lesser

My current DNAs wih my tempest:

Swift Lesser Heal - 5
Strengthened Lesser Heal - 6 (big jump in HP recovery from lvl 5 to lvl 6)
Ligthning Mastery Intensification - 7 (I have it at lvl 6 at my lvl 77, but I'll ad one point at lvl 78)
Magic Weapon mastery Intensification - 6 (lvl 5 is +19, but lvl 6 is +31)
Holy Ligth Intensification - 1 (spare point, but +27 damage per tick isn't bad)

Hmmm so I probably remember wrongly...should have been told 10 points on lesser heal DNA is a waste <.<

But yea I'll figure it out again if I level up. I still want lesser heal DNA max. I'm a DPS+healer and will always be.

anyway we are going to re-DNA, cause new DNAs are inserted, hope we have good thinkers on the house who would help us through...

There's nothing to think about.

Extended LR and HL DNAs to a certain point depending on your playstyle then the rest in LH/maybe a point in MM and HLI.

fast reply. thanks sir, ma'am

Ligthning Mastery Intensification - 7 (I have it at lvl 6 at my lvl 77, but I'll ad one point at lvl 78)
Magic Weapon mastery Intensification - 6 (lvl 5 is +19, but lvl 6 is +31)
Holy Ligth Intensification - 1 (spare point, but +27 damage per tick isn't bad)

i think i may follow this, Lanni's DNA

Not viable post-dna patch.

not viable?


is extending AoE skills means more damage output for that skills as well? is the per pulse damage going to be extended or just effect. hmmm,

Extending the duration of the AoEs will not only make them active until the skill can be used again but, it'll basically double and even triple the damage output since the duration is increasing.

It's viable now, until next week.

It'll depends of the gear level mostly pve wise since some Tempys kill everything in 1 round of aoes

oh dear lord...

oh dear lord...

fuuuuuuuuuuuu

also most people can dash out of lr, so they never get hit by more than 2 or 3 tics...might go for full defense/resist gear and will be able to sruvive 2 not 1 hits from god's of requiem

You mean most melee can and all caster except soul hunter can heal out of it.
