Damage on Blocking: This spell will damage the attacker whenever you successfully block any direct attack or spell (assuming you have passives or an item with {{c|mod|x% of Block Chance applied to Spells}} to allow blocking of spells).

[[Chaining]]: The damage on block chains from the attacker to the nearest enemy in a range. The number of times the lightning damage chains can be increased by supporting Tempest Shield with [[Chain]] or by equipping [[Mjölner]].

Switching weapon sets will deactivate Tempest Shield, even if that weapon set includes a shield.
On hit effects: Tempest Shield can be supported with skills that provide bonuses on hit, such as [[Curse on Hit]], [[Power Charge On Critical]], [[Blind]], [[Life Leech]], and [[Mana Leech]]. These bonuses will be given whenever the player successfully blocks.


Interactions with Buff/Aura Nodes
Weapon swapping: Switching weapon sets will deactivate Tempest Shield, even if that weapon set includes a shield.
:"''x% increased effect of Auras you Cast''" does not help in any way
:"''x% reduced Mana Reserved''" reduces the amount of mana reserved by Tempest Shield
:"''x% increased Effect of Buffs on You''" increases the block chance from 4% to 5% when you hit 25%

== Strategy ==
=== Block chance ===
Although Tempest Shield's block chance of 4% may seem small, it may mean the difference between having to travel to another cluster in the passive tree in order to reach the block cap. With all {{c|mod|Increased Effect of Buffs on you}} nodes on the tree, namely the [[Inner Force]] cluster and [[Devotion]], it is possible to increase the block chance bonus to 5%.
=== Reflection ===
Tempest Shield's reflected damage is not viable as a primary damage skill, due to several factors:
* The base damage is low---less than half that of {{sl|Arc}} and without its inherent chaining ability.
* Increased mana multipliers from supports will quickly raise the reservation cost to unsustainable levels.
* Even with a high block chance and spell block, most enemies do not attack rapidly enough for Tempest Shield to deal a significant amount of damage. (Though there are a few that do, including Voidbearers, Tentacle Miscreations, and Plumed Chimerals---these can easily suicide themselves in seconds against a high-block Tempest Shield.)
However, the reflection does guarantee a hit with fair reliability compared to {{sl|Cast when Damage Taken}} or {{sl|Cast when Stunned}}. Possible ways to take advantage of this include:
* {{sl|Curse on Hit}}. Does not increase the reservation cost.
* {{sl|Power Charge On Critical}}. For this purpose, Tempest Shield benefits from an above-average base critical strike chance of 6%. It may take some leveling for this to be able to sustain power charges, however, as {{sl|Power Charge On Critical}} is heavily dependent on both level and quality, more than doubling in charges gained from level 1 to level 20 and 20% quality. Spell critical strike chance will also be necessary to effectively bootstrap the charging process; {{sl|Increased Critical Strikes}} can give a boost here.
* {{sl|Life Leech}} or {{sl|Mana Leech}}. This a rather marginal option. At level 20 this will leech a base of 16.15 Life or 9.36 Mana per block, increased by damage modifiers. {{sl|Mana Leech}} is likely the better of the two overall since it does not increase the reservation cost.
* {{sl|Blind}}. Another marginal option due to the low chance per hit to blind.

Template:AwakeningUpdate Template:Gem Infobox Tempest Shield is a spell that empowers your shield to deal lightning damage to enemies, arcing to nearby enemies, when you block their attacks. The skill expires after a duration but is refreshed after a successful block.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Damage on Blocking: This spell will damage the attacker whenever you successfully block any direct attack or spell (assuming you have passives or an item with x% of Block Chance applied to Spells to allow blocking of spells).

Chaining: The damage on block chains from the attacker to the nearest enemy in a range. The number of times the lightning damage chains can be increased by supporting Tempest Shield with Chain or by equipping Mjölner.

Necromantic Aegis does not cause Tempest Shield to be applied to Minions. The block chance will be lost and Tempest Shield can no longer deal damage because you are not using a shield.[1]

On hit effects: Tempest Shield can be supported with skills that provide bonuses on hit, such as Curse on Hit, Power Charge On Critical, Blind, Life Leech, and Mana Leech. These bonuses will be given whenever the player successfully blocks.

Weapon swapping: Switching weapon sets will deactivate Tempest Shield, even if that weapon set includes a shield.
