Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Tempest

PvP Dash Tempest Guide

The Dash Crosswinds Raid Tempest uses the Wind Edge primary attack with Squall, Flowing Strike, Crosswinds, and Rolling Surf. Crosswinds and Flowing Strike are used as dash attacks and are your primary damage skills. Squall should be used to buff your dash attacks with the A Thousand Dooms main hand essence. Rolling Surf increases your movement speed and empowers your primary attacks to throw water daggers that return to you. You should start off fights with Rolling Surf for damage and movement speed, empower your dashes with Squall, then use all four charges of your dash attacks on the opponent. You should then evade with your very fast movement speed and go back in and burst with dash attacks again. You should spend your dash attacks quickly and be hard to hit, flee, and then return to finish off the opponent.

Paragons & Legendary Skills: PvP Dash Tempest Build

1. Harbinger is the best damage paragon for this build because it decreases your dash cooldowns and increases damage.

2. Gladiator is the best PvP paragon tree for this build because it gives a cheat death and helps with loss of control.

3. Vanquisher is the best paragon tree for increased magic find and gives increased damage and attack speed on kills.

4. Harbinger can be used in Erebban for an absorb shield, movement speed, and to move unhindered through enemies.

5. Survivor is the recommended paragon for Vanguard because it gives a cheat death that works in Vanguard.

6. The best paragon legendary skill for this build is Lightning Rod because it deals high damage when the enemy is hit.

PvP Dash Tempest Skills and Equipment:

Skills

1. Wind Edge (primary skill)

2. Squall

3. Flowing Strike

4. Crosswinds

5. Rolling Surf

Main Hand

Skein-Parter - Rolling Surf now empowers you and your Zephyrs' primary attacks to throw water daggers.

Off-Hand

Coral Shank - Crosswinds now dashes firing wind blades and the number of blades increases by your movement speed.

Note: Crosswinds with Coral Shank is one of your main dash skills used in your burst.

Main Hand 2

A Thousand Dooms - Squall now empowers your dashes, shatters enemies armor, and increases the damage they take.

Note: This essence changes Squall to empower your dash attacks which is important for the build.

Off-Hand 2

Maarozhi Spine - Zephyrs now also deal increased damage.

Helmet

Unyielding Visions - Rolling Surf critical hits cause an explosion of water that damages nearby enemies.

Chest

Memento Onus - Flowing Strike now dashes forward stunning enemies conjuring one Zephyr or two if its a critical hit.

Note: Flowing Strike with Memento Onus is one of your main dash skills used in your burst.

Shoulders

Safe Borders - Flowing Strike can now be used while suffering from loss of control and temporarily makes you immune.

Legs

Howling Anchor - Crosswinds now also causes enemies to bleed over five seconds.

Note: This essence counts as damage over time which triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem.

Recommended Sets

1. Vithu's Urges (2-4 Set) - Increases the duration of beneficial effects by 30% and gives an attack speed increase.

2. Gloomguide's Prize (4 Set) - Increases your damage and critical hit chance for three seconds after using a dash skill.

3. Untouchable Mountebank (PvP 2 Set) - Gives an absorb shield which is great for PvP.

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Your primary attacks give a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Vexed - Lets out a damaging roar when your minions enter the battlefield on cooldown and buffs minions when leveled.

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage and increases movement speed which increases Crosswinds projectiles.

2. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

3. Golden Firmament - Causes multiple ranged wind attacks and increases your evasion rating.

4. Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

5. Maw of the Deep - Can be used at a high rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

6. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.

7. Blood Floe - Increases your damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes enemies to bleed.

8. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased size (which also increases your movement speed), and knockback immunity with a 20 second cooldown.

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.

3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

4. Mourneskull - This legacy gem can be used to increase your damage and deal damage but it no longer drops.

5. Crimson Behelit - This PvP legacy gem gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

Note: The Viper's Bite gem isn't needed to trigger Pain Clasp because the Howling Anchor essence has bleed damage.

Best 1 Star Starter Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Entropic Well - A great budget one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

3. Everlasting Torment - A budget gem that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: Berserker's Eye should be replaced first because of the increased damage taken and the one star gem resonance.

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior skill which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience is used to lower the cooldown of Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any familiar with Savior which gives a cheat death and temporary damage immunity.

4. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Topazes for resistances in yellow sockets. You should socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can also combine all of your Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them inside your equipment for higher refinement. Refinement is used to increase the attributes of the piece of equipment the gem is socketed in.

Gem Notes

The Specter Glass two star legendary gem is one of the best two star gems and is great for your burst damage. The fairly new Colossus Engine five star legendary gem is also excellent for this build because it increases your skill damage, gives knockback immunity, and gives increased movement speed from its size increase which can give more projectiles from your Crosswind with the Coral Shank offhand essence. Damage over time legendary gems like Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile aren't needed to trigger Pain Clasp on this build because you will already have bleed from the Howling Anchor legs essence. Golden Firmament is recommended for a strong 5 star legendary gem that has wind damage, increased evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms when combined with burning damage which increases your wind damage. When using the Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament critical hit gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones. I don't recommend Frozen Heart which gives an absorb shield for PvP on this build because the absorb shield it gives isn't as important as your burst damage with dashes with this Tempest build.
