I do mention it ; I also use some physical damage, so ed and ewd mo in weapon, and flat damage in gear. The thing is, leech is where all the survivability is.
Another thing, no idea why everyone start playing tempest from early game when I explicitly mention that it's merly a fauzt farming set up, and also mention it's way less safe than a normal set up. You're not the first one asking for what mo to use and suvivability in dunc and I don't really get it. Is there a part I need to make clearer? I mention what gear to use multiple time even
Guess I'll put some big warning at the start of the tempest presentation :evil:

I'm full on SSF and kinda new to the char, so here's my noob question - is Titan Steps better than Death Spur?

So I watched your Uldy kill and I feel like I'm missing something. I believe our gear is somewhat comparable, but you deal so much more damage, it's crazy. You pretty much can just focus killing Uldy and Edyrem just fall over from your barrier strikes in the meantime. I can't do shit against several of them, always gotta leave Uldy just to kite them across half of the arena before they die

Nah, titan stats are pretty irrelevent overall, but you can keep it for fights lika atanna since it have some life

I did void just after, and show my gear in that video. It's a very big set up, and I waited lvl 140 to do both of theses because I got rekt at 130 8-) Anyway if barrier can't clear well enough maybe some help from whirlpool could do it, like in old times. The problem is, Rebel is amazing and barrier strike can also be used to damage uldy, while in the same situation whirlpool will just make him tp out without doing anything. But it should help defensivly at least.

Whats your take on Whirlpool generally nowadays? It got nerfed pretty much and seems like Backstab, Broadside and Crucify are way better. I'm still just levelling so my comment doesn't have much worth.
