Tempest

For the league, see Tempest league.

Tempests are area effects that apply buffs to both players and monsters within their area. They appear in the Tempest league. They look like a small whirlwind which appears for 4 seconds then detonates applying their effect within their area. Tempests which give buffs apply it to both players and monsters within the area of effect, with a duration of 10 seconds. Multiple tempest buffs can apply on the one player but their effects do not stack, effectively just refreshing duration. Tempests which cast damaging spells will damage both players and monsters.

Tempests are globally set for each area, and randomised hourly. Not all areas have a tempest each hour, but the chance for spawning one is 50%. Existing instance of an area retain old tempests.

Changes

2.0.0g

Many of the dangerous Tempest prefixes now grant additional item quantity (+15% or +20% rather than the base +10%). Tempest names now display correctly in maps. The Tempest markers now trigger more quickly on average. Normal difficulty has been reduced from an average of 5 seconds to an average of 3.75 seconds. The later half of Merciless has been brought in-line with Maps. Fixed a bug where Tempest Fire/Spine/Lightning/Ice storms could become invisible. The Abyssal Tempest now converts 50% of damage to chaos, rather than 100%. The Morbid Tempest now uses Vaal Summon Skeletons less often. Reduced the duration of Veiling tempest on players. Reduced the duration of Abyssal Tempest on monsters. Reduced the duration of Transmogrifying Tempests on both players and monsters. Monsters affected by Transmogrifying Tempests now drop significantly more items (double for normal monsters). Items spawned by Transmogrifying Tempests now stack their shards. Items dropped by Rogue Exiles are now transmogrified correctly. Jewels are now transmogrified correctly. Updated the buff definition of Transmogrifying Tempest to more accurately state what isn't transmogrified. It now reads: "Non-Unique Items you find, excluding Currency, Gems and Maps drop as their sell price." Animated Weapons from Tempests of Animation no longer fracture.
