Tempest Archetype

I am looking for help on how to improve the Tempest into a Freeform build (Cause the Tempest sometimes feel kinda squishy)

Okay, here's a basic Elec FF build that's similar to the AT, but is a bit more sturdy and efficient overall:

The last few powers can be w/e ya want.

For single-targets, it uses Ball Lit and Chain Lit to initially put up NI and Superconductor, while Ball Lit can refresh both debuffs after that, and LArc is your main attack otherwise. LStorm can be your main AoE, though you can also charge TStrike and Chain Lit for long-ranged AoE. TStrike can also be tapped as another self-heal option. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and End/Rec.
