Is surging tempest worth casting?

[ironheartthefirst]

I'm level 58 just got surging tempest and maxed out AA in it, is it worth casting? And if so what on?

Personal call depending on how you open.  I'd use it instead of Incapacitate if it were down or resisted.  Good damage up front, then toss the root on while they're stunned.

<p>One of the most important spells late-game, both from PVP and PVE perspective. Be sure to cast it early in the fight, especially if fight is going to last longer than 30 seconds.</p>

<p>For pvp aspect i love it Interrupt, Tempest, Hammer, Bolt = dead before they knew it</p><p>I would say use the temporal band but on big nukes there is a casting cap <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
