The Lightning Barrage Tempest build focuses on using Barrage with high critical chance to proc Lightning Strike multiple times and easily take on difficult Bosses. You will need to ramp up your damage by spamming Primary Attack and using Dodge to maximize your damage output, such as Rage stacks and additional Lightning Strike chances.
Do note that this build is made until Level 22 so you can achieve max Divinity for both classes once you complete all the quests. Any additional points after that level can be slotted into maxing out Storm Nimbus or more passive modifiers.

Focus on equipping Medium and Light Armor pieces for the Dodge Cooldown and Recovery Rate to help you avoid deadly attacks and projectiles. Make sure to have Attack Speed for faster Primary Attacks, Agility to boost your damage output further, and Ailment Power to increase shocked DoT.
For your weapon, we highly recommend getting a Thunder Spear that has the Base Weapon Critical Hit Chance implicit to make your critical hits more consistent while also providing you with more Lightning Damage. Weapon Pierce Damage is good for your Barrage and Primary Attacks, while Critical Hit Chance

Your skills should focus on ramping up Rage stacks with your Primary Attack and making use of the Dash Attack modifier to further increase your damage and critical chance. Once you have full stacks and the damage buff enabled, you can then start executing Barrage to consume Overwhelm and repeatedly proc Lightning Strikes and Critical Hits due to your high crit chance.
On the other hand, your passives mostly consist of enhancing Rage such as Battle Rage and Raging Storm for more damage and Rage stacks, and Lightning Evoker for more Lightning Strikes chances every time your overflow Rage stacks. Second Wind is for survivability that works in tandem with your Rage stacks to enable higher health regeneration.
Divinity Allocation Points
| Divinity Allocation |
|---|
| Warfare ▶ Storm |
You want to max out Warfare first so you can gain access to Barrage as early as possible. Once you have that, focus on increasing Storm to get the Storm Nimbus ability, which allows you to deal more Lightning damage for this build.
Do note that you can use Whirlwind first while you progress until you unlock Barrage to enable the build finally.
Attribute Priority
| Attribute Prioritization |
|---|
| Agility ▶ Vigor |
Focus on stacking Agility to increase your Lightning and Pierce damage output and Vigor for more survivability. As you progress, always add 1 Vigor for every 2 Agility you invest in to keep a 1:2 ratio between the stats.
Playstyle and Skill Rotation
The Lighting Barrage Tempest build revolves around continuously attacking with both your Primary Attack and Barrage to deal high critical lightning damage. The rotation is as follows:
- Ramp up 16 Rage stacks by spamming Primary Attack.
- Once you have 3 Overwhelm stacks, dodge to gain 60% damage and 150% crit chance from Dash Attack.
- Immediately execute Barrage to trigger multiple Lightning Strikes with high critical chances.
- When you run out of energy, use Energy Potion to recover and spam Primary Attack and Dodge for now until you're able to use Barrage again.
