Provides Frenzy Charges upon freezing, electrocution, or pinning, synergizing with Resonance for Power Charge generation. |
How to Generate Power Charges
Power Charges are primarily generated through the synergy of Combat Frenzy and Resonance, combined with Cold Infused Herald of Thunder and Electrocute Tempest Flurry. Resonance converts Frenzy Charges into Power Charges. Freezing and electrocuting enemies consistently provides a large number of Power Charges.
Alternatively, Profane Ritual can be used, bypassing the Frenzy/Resonance combination. Pair this with Cast on Shock or Cast on Freeze for automatic Power Charge generation. At lower levels, Killing Palm or Siphoning Strike can generate charges for Falling Thunder. Retain Siphoning Strike for Power Charge generation against bosses. With sufficient Spirit, Herald of Ice enhances freeze potential.
Tempest Flurry Invoker Passives
For the first four Ascendancy points, prioritize I Am Thunder and I Am Blizzard. This maximizes Power Charge generation while increasing damage and crowd control. Later, choose And I Shall Rage (for burning bosses with Unbound Avatar) or Sunder my Enemies (for enhanced critical hits).
Recommended Gear
This build emphasizes Elemental damage and Ailments. A Quarterstaff with high base DPS and Cold/Lightning damage is ideal. Prioritize armor with Evasion and Energy Shield for survivability. Focus on Dexterity and Intelligence; Strength-requiring gear is unsuitable. Seek gear with these stats:
- Physical damage
- Lightning damage added to attacks
- Cold damage added to attacks
- Attack Speed
- Accuracy Rating
- Maximum Life
- Evasion
- Energy Shields
- Elemental resistances
