I had already posted the following for a DEX based Tempest in a other thread:

...but i think there should not be a big difference compared to a STR based Tempest:
I try to answer exactly the same question for myself as a DEX based Elf Tempest (12 Ranger / 6 Barbarian / 2 Rouge).
My current setup
-Helm: Slave (I Deception 7, R Fury, Seeker 17, Q C Mastery 4)
-Necklace: Mist (S R Fists, Feat: W T t Trees, N Armor 20, WIS 20)
-Eyes: Shroud (Tier1 AEM, Tier2 AEM, Tier3 AEM, Displacement, HP 70, Skill 39)
-Trinket: Mist (E Holy Burst, T Seeing, CON +20, I Deception)
-Armor: Silent (Fort 202%, P Shelter 50, Parrying 9, PWell Rounded +2)
-Cape: Silent (I Guard, N Guard, Deception 17, M Sheltering 52)
-Bracers: Mist (STR 19, I CON 9, Stunning 22, Q P Shelter 12)
-Belt: Silent (Q Dodge +4%, Blurry, DEX 19, Q DEX 4)
-Ring: Mist (I INT 9, I Deadly 7, R Save 16, P Shelter 50)
-Ring: Slave (F Life 68, Accuracy 28, Tendon Slice 14, Q CON 4)
-Boots Slave (CON 17, Resistance 14, Concentration 22, Q CON 4)
-Gloves: Mist (P Silver, Deadly 16, Doublestrike 23, A Piercing 32)
I try to fit in the Family and Mist set bonuses as well as one of the Artifacts and nearly finished Rings.
To close the gaps, one Slaver item will be crafted accordingly...

Any other thoughts are welcome?
