Spec image Tempest.jpg

Wielding an off-hand warhorn and using shouts, Tempests blast out elemental power to support allies at close range and deal constant damage to enemies. Tempests will be able to overload their attunements at the penalty of recharge in order to deliver high-pressure sustained damage, control, and healing to nearby areas.

Profession mechanic[edit]

Overload is a profession mechanic exclusive to tempests that grants additional skills while in each attunement, causing an effect while the tempest channel it and for a short period afterwards. Each overload skill is able to be used after 5 seconds in the attunement. Overloading increases the recharge of the attunement when swapping to a different attunement.
