Introduction

Hi all, this is my first guide, so sorry for any technical errors.

TL:DR; This is for a build that comes fully online in early act 2, and pushes hard into the  Reverberation mechanic.

This build started as something I put together for my Tactician run to make Shadowheart, who's  Trickery is definitely lack-luster. Instead, we make her  Tempest, which is still nice enough thematically and also packs a big punch. Tempest Cleric applications are what will be discussed for most of this build, but there will be a section at the end discussing other options for min-max.

I'm not positive all of this works as described, some of the reverberation items are a little funky, but as of patch 4 & 5 the build feels great into early act 3, regardless of what may not be working as we want?

I hope you enjoy knocking enemies on their asses, and let me know how I can improve the guide.

Items that apply Reverberation

• Gloves of Belligerent Skies: When the wielder deals Radiant, Lightning, or Thunder damage, apply 2 turns of Reverberation to the target(s).
• Boots of Stormy Clamour: When the wearer inflicts a condition upon a hostile creature, they also inflict 2 turns of Reverberation.
• Spineshudder Amulet: When the wearer deals damage with a ranged Spell Attack, inflict 2 turns of  Reverberation on the target(s).
• Markoheshkir: Grants  Kereska's Favour which can grant  Bone-shaking Thunder: When you deal spell damage, inflict 1 turn of Reverberation upon the target. [As well as other benefits]

Items that interact with Reverberation

• Ring of Absolute Force: If the wearer bears the Absolute's brand, they deal 1 additional Thunder damage. [Currently works even if the wearer is not branded]
• Thunderskin Cloak: When a creature with  Reverberation deals damage to the wearer, the creature needs to make a Constitution Saving Throw or become  Dazed.
• Ring of Spiteful Thunder: When the wearer deals Thunder damage to a  Reverberating creature, it becomes  Dazed unless it succeeds a Constitution Saving Throw.

Notes

• Until Patch #3, Reverberation was bugged. While it applied the stacking penalties to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution Saving Throws, it did not deal thunder damage and prone. As of Patch #3, now works as described.
• The different items that can apply Reverberation do not all work as expected from their description.
