Here I collect some Tempest FAQs for gameRequiem , read these questions and answers to see whether there is an answer for you ... Have a good time !
1. Should I take Glaring Light? This question has been asked alot. Indeed at lower levels when you have few AOE's, it may be a good idea, but at Tempest levels things start to change. If your are like me, solo mostly with AOE parties every so often, its not really needed. Why? Well it just doesnt fit well in the the sleep/AOE cycle. For instance... Fighting 4 mobs usually goes like this...
Pull 4 spiders with Fire Chicken. Round up in bunch...
Dismount
Rejuvenation
Mobs hit you----
Sleep
Holy Light
Lightning Restraint
Elec Twister
Elec Shock
Rejuvenation
Mobs hit you---
Sleep
Mod Heal
Lesser Heal
Rejuvenation
Elec Shock
Elec Twister
Rejuvenation

All spiders DEAD... As you can see, Glaring Light just doesnt fit in well... Of course, Heals depend on damage you take. There could be a window to cast Glaring Light if you take low damage, but against most Elite mobs, I usually need a heal in at some point. Of note, by grinding like this.. A high Defence is very important in Requiem lant .
2. Should I use Mind/Int/HP Xeons?- There has been alot of discussion on this topic. I find mind not very useful for a Tempest. For a lower level Tempest, a Lab C-I for 1 on 1 mobs you want to kill fast and Lab C-C for AOEing. HP is your life. Your armor should be reinforced with HP Xeons and perhaps 1 Defence. In the upper levels, it will prob be best to balance a jewel set with both int/hp xeons for everyday use and a full hp set for pure AOEing and Boss to get Requiem lant .
3. What heals to take? I find Rejuvenation really a must for a Tempest. There are many times it can be cast in a AOE/Sleep cycle. It crit heals based on int. (another reason for higher INT.) and it crits alot. You should be seeing 200+ hp recovered per tick with a crit Rejuvenation at higher levels. Lesser heal I kept at 1 because its really not that useful to the Tempest. It has a casting time and will eat up a DNA slot if fully exploited. Moderate Heal should be taken to level 2 because its the best heal you can get as a Tempest.
