You have access to four different attunements when you are playing Elementalist, Tempest or Weaver:

Each attunement gives you a new set of weapon skills with a variety of effects. This effectively gives Elementalist and Tempest access to 20 weapon skills and gives Weaver access to 26 weapon skills.

You can swap between your attunements every 1.5 seconds and you can do this whilst casting a skill. Your previous attunement will go on a 10 second Cooldown. This is further decreased as attunement Cooldown is affected by Alacrity.

When you have the trait equipped, your will get fully Recharged when you land a critical hit.

Overloads are a unique mechanic to Tempests.

Each Overload skill is available after six seconds once you attune to a new attunement.

There are four different Overloads available:

• can be used to upkeep Might.
• can be used to top up your squad if their health is getting low.
• is the main feature of your rotation. It provides high damage and cleave.
• grants your subgroup with Protection and applies Cripple to enemies. The final pulse inflicts Immobilize.

There are a few traits that affect Overloads:

• causes you to grant Auras based on your Overload.
• grants Protection and increases the effectiveness of the Protection you apply by 20%.

Auras are irremovable buffs that Elementalists can provide through weapon skills, utilities and traits.

These buffs can be offensive and defensive:

• Fire Aura inflicts Burning on foes who strike you and you gain Might per strike.
• Frost Aura inflicts Chill on foes who strike you and reduces incoming damage by 10%.
• Shocking Aura....shocks people.
• Magnetic Aura reflects projectiles.

Elementalist can also detonate Auras with certain weapon skills. With the Heal Tempest build, you will come into contact with two of them:

• on your Dagger, will detonate Shocking Aura and cause 100 Breakbar damage.
• on your Staff, will detonate Magnetic Aura which deals damage and applies Protection.

There are a few traits that affect Auras or grant them:

• causes Auras to remove conditions from your subgroup.
• will apply any Aura that you grant to yourself is also applied to your subgroup.
• grants Auras based on which attunement you are in when you resurrect a Downed ally.
• heals allies that gain Auras. You also grant Frost Aura when you take damage below 75% health.
• causes you to grant Auras based on your Overload.

From the Elementalist class, only Tempests have access to shouts.

Shouts are a staple constituent of the Heal Tempest build as they grant Auras, Might and affect 10 people.

You will come in contact with almost all the shouts available to Tempest:

• is an extremely powerful heal skill that also cleanses conditions.
• applies Fire Aura and inflicts damage.
• applies Frost Aura and Chills nearby foes.
• applies Magnetic Aura. It also inflicts Cripple and Immobilize on nearby foes.
• allows your squad to ignore a lethal blow if taken within five seconds. If naturally expires, without triggering, it will grant an Aura based on your current attunement.

• makes you heal allies for around 2000 on every aura application. Check out the "Auras" section for more info as you have a lot of auras in this build.

• can heal with up to 11,000 if you hit all three pulses.

Fury is something that people frequently forget about. If you don't have 100% uptime on Fury, your DPS players will be very unhappy. You need to consider your options on how you can produce Fury:

• provides base five seconds of Fury as your seed that you can extend with and double with , but you will need additional sources at it has a 75s Cooldown.
• provides base five seconds of Fury to everyone that you grant Auras to.

You might find yourself in a situation where you're the only source of Might. As with Fury, it's really important to upkeep it. Your sources are:

• will pulse Might for a total of 20 stacks.
• will grant three stacks of Might.
• will grant you three stacks of Might and then copy all your Might stacks to 10 nearby allies.
• will grant two stacks of Might to 10 allies whenever you use a shout skill.
