I want to TR my Tempest into a Tempest trapmonkey. I've already got venelated bracers, but I'm still planning GS for a +6 exceptional Int bonus.
I see two ways to proceed, I can put all +6 Int on a single shard Slay Living, or I could synergize it between Con Opp and Radiance. I'm not super worried about the grind since I already have an Essence of cleansing and nearly enough larges to crank out four shards worth of gear.
But I'm wondering how good are Rad and Con Opp for a Tempest? I think the blindness will be good at disrupting casters, and the extra SP/HP will be nice, although the +6 Wis (ranger casting stat) is a huge bonus since I save build points by keeping it at 8. And with Tharnes Goggles and a rogue level, the blindness will be nice for sneak attack.
I'm not espeicialy attached to any of my other gear. I switch between the Icy Raiments and Breastplate of Destruction. Don't have access to alot of endgame content, just Vale and epic VoN at the moment. Anyway, cp for your thoughts, if you're on Orien.
