Fire Condition Tempest is en excellent build that’ll put you up on the dps charts with little effort. It is a hybrid build between  Power and  Burning, thus combining the advantages of both types in one build. It excels at doing harder content in OW and in situations where support is lacking. It is my personal favourite open world build for elementalist due to its versatily, support options and easy strong damage. Plus, it fulfills the definition of a fire mage!

Gear & Traits

Important Stats (descending in Importance):

1. Maximize Power
2. 100% Burning Duration
3. maximize Precision & Ferocity

Since the vast majority of damage comes from  Power and  Burning, it is important to reach 100% condition duration on it. I chose the gear variant below to give more freedom regarding the food option, since you can use any standard  Power food.

• Ascended gear is always ideal, but exotic gear is fine for everything aside from higher-tier fractals.

Increasing General Survivability

• For OW, it can make sense to make a build more forgiving, so that you can sustain on your own.
