Justification / Modifications:
Tempest will always jungle. This is a law of nature and cannot be questioned. Thus you get Elementals up to level 3. Level 4 is overkill for jungling, better max Glacial Blasts first to gank more effective.

Lane Starting Items:
1. Ring of the Teacher, 2x Mana Potion
2. Bottle
3. Monkey Courier, Wards, 4x Mana Potion

I recommend the first build for pubs, the 2nd for for Inhouse/CW when someone else gets a courier and the 3rd build otherwise.

Core:
Portal Key >> Marchers >> 2x Fortified Bracelets

Preferably Portal Key is the first item you buy after around 6 Minutes into the game. Then get Boots and some HP.

After Core:
Plated Greaves >> Shrunken Head >> Wards of Sight

Plated Greaves add some EHP and combined with your elementals add a lot of pushing power! Shrunken Head is to get your ult of uninterrupted.
After that you are done, just buy wards and other supportive items as you see fit.

30-Seconds-Guide:
– If you want to learn how to Jungle the most effective, watch the video at the bottom of this page: http://www.gamereplays.org/heroesofn…jungling-guide
– Short Version: Double stack the easy and a medium camp at 0.49, use Elementals right after double stack. Clear the easy camp, kill as many as you can from the medium camp until Elementals run out (don’t recast). Lane Pull creeps at the 1.45 mark. Wait until the 2.49 and repeat double stacking. This uses very few Mana and gives you maximum xp and gold/min if done correctly.
– Stop Jungeling once you have Portal Key and Marchers!!
– Gank your lane often, especially at level 6 when you get your ult! (Use courier to send you more Mana Potions for ganks).

Counters:
– Heroes: Vindicator, Hellbringer (can stop him from very far away)
– Items: Tablet of Command, Hellflower
– What you basically need to do is interrupt his Elemental Void. This is what makes Tempest. All the methods mentioned above short of Hellflower work through a shrunken Head.
– Any Hero with disables can stop him but they usually need to get pretty close without getting sucked in.
– Tablet of Command is AMAZING against him. Get it if you are not carrying.
