Overview
This build primarily fills the role of the healer and cleanser for its party.
复元雕文 is an exceptionally powerful revive skill - in 
空气协调 it has the unique effect of repositioning the target, allowing the tempest to fully reset a player that went down in a bad place.
Tempest provides some 
威能 provided with 
火使威势 as well as unique auras - primarily 
冰霜光环 and the very powerful 
电击光环.

Surviving
- This build has moderate passive defense
- This build has moderate mobility skill access
- This build has low active defenses
- Since you lack personal stunbreaks and
稳固 and you heavily rely on skills with longer casttimes, you want to position safely
- Stay close to tag, but not directly on top - within 200-300 range is close enough to quickly respond to movements and get boons without getting stuck behind
- While overloading, if needed, move further away ensure the cast finishes -
强效光环 has 600 radius
黑曜石肤 is your panic button, but as healer you don't want to use it to much or your party will die. You can cancel it anytime with a weapons stow or some high priority skills like 
"抚慰伤痛！" or 
"五行归元！"
- Since you lack personal stunbreaks and
Detailed Explanations
Glyph of Renewal
Glyph of Renewal
- Under General Options / Combat/Movement turn on Allow Skill Retargetting and set Ground Targetting to Instant Cast, this will make 复元雕文 cast at the location your cursor is at the end of the cast, instead of where you initially targetted
- Focus on reviving allies who are far away with 复元雕文, don't waste the skill on players that can be hand rezzed.
- Use 复元雕文 in 空气协调 on single players and
大地协调 on multiple players
- If the teleportation is not needed (or actively harmful), use the glyph in
流水协调 for the extra heal
- If the teleportation is not needed (or actively harmful), use the glyph in
- If a downed ally can be safely revived by other means don't use 复元雕文
- If you are under the effect of
生命幻象 you can cast 复元雕文 in 
火焰协调 to avoid timing out
Condition clear
"天崩地裂！" should be saved for Immobilize Immobilize rather than used to proc 
窒息光环- Keep in mind the small, 240 radius of
逆向转化冰霜/
逆向转化闪电. Both are significant condition clear with 窒息光环
Condition clear priority
Healing
- Most of your healing comes from 流水协调 and "抚慰伤痛！"
- Avoid leaving 流水协调 if you predict heavy pressure coming in the next 10 seconds
- Avoid leaving
冰锥喷射 can be used twice in each 流水协调 if you use it as soon as you enter and again as you leave attunement
- Channeled skills like 冰锥喷射 finish casting even if you leave attunement after starting the cast
- Channeled skills like
- Tempests biggest burst heal skill is "抚慰伤痛！"
- Keep in mind most of the healing is on the first pulse which has a smaller radius than the rest of the skill
- 流水协调 ⇒
治疗涟漪 is instant cast, meaning it provides the healing immediately and can also be used while CCed - 逆向转化冰霜 can be enabled by
冰封爆裂, 
流水过载, 
"极寒冰结！" and, of course, 冰霜光环. Make sure to use it as often as possible. - A significant part of your healing comes from
卡拉科萨古物 and blast finishers:
Healing priority
CC
- Use your CC when:
- Save "天崩地裂！" when 大地协调 is available to CC instead
- The Immobilize Immobilize from "天崩地裂！" hits in 600 radius
- The Immobilize Immobilize from
Aura/boonshare
- Try to be in 空气协调 for melee engages to apply 电击光环
- Make sure you're close to your group when leaving 火焰协调 to proc 火使威势, it has a short 240 radius
- "五行归元！" can be used to cover 稳固 for your party if the primary providers have downtime
Settings
- Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
- Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
- Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
- Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
