Can someone confirm if there are other effects aside from ASPD?
I just turned 220 and I don't think it does anything else besides ASPD buff.

Its not only aspd, when your tempest gauge is 91% and more, it gives you good eva boost, idk exactlly how much but for me it makes my eva about 600, also it does more damage than pillar blade but on bosses only. And more, it works like global aoe if someone in your party have aggroed mob and you cast it on other mob, both mobs get damage, more targets = higher damage.

Yeah Ive seen that more mobs more damage but still incomparable to Pillar. I spam around 43 to 45k on baums with Pillar and just 8k (1 baum) with Tempest. I think it did around 20k on 4 mobs. If its just ASPD, Eva and bonus on bosses, then I feel slightly disappointed, Not as great as I though it would be. Mainly for these reasons: 1) ASPD is for auto attacks, and triggers recoil. Not really useful for AOE parties. 2) I have no Agi to benefit from eva since I prefer being hit to maximize Cross Counter damage and 3)Incomparable DPS with Pillar (even on bosses) since I can probably hit 3 to 4 pillars before tempest cools down. If anybody else has input, please do share.

Well, other thing i can think of is lv260 skill which will need tempest gauge.
And dont underestimate tempest, its helpful at bosses like Vida, enter map with 60% tempest gauge, one p.blade and then spam tempest, enough eva for Vida to miss nearly every hit, just recast stone skin sometimes.

Buddies, sword tempest skill does a lot more damage on bosses instead of normal mobs, seen a gladi in Youtube hitting 50k+ on bosses. Also ive seen in a wiki that the 'berserk' you get when tempest gauge reaches 90%+ gives EVA+? and ATK+10%.

Is that skill out? What skill? I tried this with Vida, doesnt work with 1 Agi. I cannot spam it because I only have 115 dex. and -1.5s from equip.

Also, it doesnt do +10% ATK like I expected it. I read that somewhere too. Tested it. Same damage whether 0% or 100% Tempest. I do hope my character isnt glitched. I hope someone who has tested confirms this.

I tried it on Guevol and only did 20k. With around 3s cooldown. While Pillar did 40k with 1s cool down. You would need a ton of Dex or money to have Tempest down to 1s. I guess money isnt an issue but putting more Dex will compromise Attack/HP. Not very practical.

I think I was lagging when I first saw the figures. Disregard the figures I stated earlier.
I redid Guevol (for another friend's mq) and yielded 40 to 45k PBlade and 55 to 60k Tempest. I turned on battle log. Aaaand I forgot to take a screenie. I'll take next.
It does better on bosses and increases Pillar damage on bosses. I need to test more. I think Guevol uses a barrier skill of some sort, IDK but it died pretty fast.

The thing with guevol is that from 100% to 0% hp, it gradually lowers MDEF and raises DEF. Dont remember if it was backwards tho.. tested it with magic blade. At full hp one of the hits did 1 dmg, and near to dead it was the other hit that dealt 1 dmg instead.

besides attack speed (& berserk-like speed when tempest gauge is above 89%) and AVD boost, sword tempest also adds melee damage (ignores DEF) on normal attack. it depends on tempest gauge %,max boost around 1k. this melee boost not triggered if you do double attack.
for example,on my normal attack without tempest gauge is around 18k. when tempest gauge is almost 100%,my normal attack do 19k+.but my double attack stay at 32k,no matter i have tempest gauge or not.

Pillar blade is for normal mobs. Sword Tempest is for bosses, oracro and archangel colons . Well, certainly its true that if you are farming a boss that has potential to kill you pillar blade is the safest. Since you cant rely much on tempest if cant spam it (takes time to restone skin which sometimes leads to death) + recoil damage kills you as well tempest consumes HP too But if you are with a support tempest is the best boss killer for a gladiator. My guildmate made a video while we farm valtia Sword tempest is good to utilize against bosses especially if u can spam it

Ty guys ! yes most problably yes, because i saw a japanese blog said sword tempest delay 5 second totals, and 256 DEX only reduced 1.5 seconds of it. you need 3.5 seconds more on skill delay stats. refer this discussion click here
