Description
Tempest is a strong Stamina Sorcerer PVE Build with different setups for Solo and Group gameplay. The idea behind Tempest is to apply constant pressure to your targets with your DOTs-AOE skills so you can finish them faster with your burst damage.
Tempest is an excellent Build for “farming” areas with many groups of enemies but can be very effective against single targets as well.
For a Two Handed Stamina Sorcerer PVE Build take a look at Wrecker. If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Sorcerer Beginner Guide.
If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Stamina Sorcerer Solo Build.
You can find more Builds in the Sorcerer Builds page.
