Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP 1v1 Tempest

PvP Wind Walk Shield Tempest Guide

 

The PvP Wind Walk Shield Tempest uses the Wind Edge primary attack with Wind Walk, Breaker, Vortex, and Rolling Surf. Wind Walk is used to make your primary attacks generate a stacking absorb shield from the Gustgift shoulder essence and Wind Walk removes non-loss of control harmful effects with the Mehrwen's Humility main hand essence. Breaker is used as a dash attack with four charges, makes you untargetable during its effect, gives you an absorb shield, and makes you immune to one loss of control effect on this build. Vortex also deals damage around you and knocks enemies into the air, increases your primary attack speed, and shatters enemies' armor causing them to take more damage. Rolling Surf is great for increased movement speed, deals additional damage on critical hits, and it empower your and your Zephyrs' primary attacks to throw water daggers for high single target damage with the recommended essences.

​

Normal Gems

You can use both Tourmalines for added damage and Rubies for maximum life in red sockets and you should use Topazes for resistances which lowers harmful effects durations on you in yellow sockets. You can also use your bound Citrines which gives potency and combine them into one Citrine if it gives higher refinement. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

The new Fated Trail five star gem is a powerful legendary gem once you have high increased maximum life from ranked up five star legendary gems, Vitality, magic effects on equipment, and Rubies which give maximum life. The Blood Floe five star gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine five star gem is strong because it increases your skill damage, increases your area of effect, gives temporary knockback immunity, and gives increased movement speed from its size increase. The Golden Firmament five star gem is recommended as a low priority legendary gem that deals wind damage, increases evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms when it's mixed with burning damage which increases your wind damage. The Frozen Heart gem is also recommended for PvP for a shield and to chill opponents. You should try and get enough increased beneficial effects duration on your equipment to significantly lower your Rolling Surf cooldown. When using increased critical hit chance gems you should also consider rolling increased critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones.​
