I have tempest shield at level 7 now and stacking it with iron will (level 1) and elemental proliferation (level 1). It does 39-58 damage and reserves 35%. It would be nice to reserve less but I wouldn't call it useless. I love the graphic on it but I do not like the sound, it grates on my nerves, not sure if anyone else feels that way. Edit: Forgot to add I'm a level 35 marauder with 218 str (relevant for iron will).

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but levelling up a gem slotted into your shield will cause Tempest to deactivate. Not really game-breaking, just a bit annoying.

Tempest Shield + support gems = yuck Could you tweak the skill some? Even if you're trying to make a tempest shield build, using support gems with a % reservation is too difficult to accommodate. What about making Tempest Shield a hybrid? Reserves 10% of your mana plus a flat amount (that goes up every level).

i couldnt find a corresponding bug forum.. i´d like to report that tempest shield doesnt move well into other areas. the reservation cost and the skill on the bottom are there but basically the skill is turned off and has to be switched off and on now to get it to work.

So awesome spell with so little attention :/ I posted a topic about my idea for a build surrounding this skill: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/51918	Posted by RG_PankO__#4894 on Sep 26, 2012, 6:39:43 PM Banned Quote this Post
I believe this skill either needs a drop in mana reserve (Maybe to 20%, even 15%), an increase of damage (maybe an extra 10%), or a better block chance (upwards of maybe 6%). Insanity is overrated unless you join me in mine.	Posted by DarkRookie#0643 on Oct 1, 2012, 2:49:42 PM Quote this Post
life gain on hit does not display in the tempest shield skill description, nor does it raise the reservation cost of the skill. is this bugged or am i deluded to think that you can hit monsters with tempest shield?	Posted by thenewapollo#6906 on Oct 5, 2012, 3:38:04 PM Quote this Post

Would Inner Force notable work with this skill? And what would be bufffed, the shield block % or the damage? For Ranger build tips, tactics, and critiques, visit this thread: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/69224	Posted by Islidox#7754 on Oct 7, 2012, 5:17:21 PM Quote this Post
