Tempest is a Specialization of the Rogue class in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.
These unpredictable experts specialize in using alchemical mixtures that wreathe them in frost or flame. Fast, chaotic, and possibly mad, they wade into the fight and dare enemies to face the storm.
How to Become a Tempest
You must complete Way of the Tempest in order to receive it. It initiates by speaking with Kihm in the Skyhold courtyard after completing the Specializations for the Inquisitor War Table Operation. You must collect 1 Lightning Essence, 1 Frost Essence and 3 Essence Containment Apparatuses from the 3 locations listed below. They are NOT random drops, but instead drop from 3 specific enemies. Once you've collected the above materials you must craft the Bottle of Smoke at an "Inspect Requisitions" bench.
Fill a bottle of smoke, study the methods required to use it, and Kihm will reveal the secrets of the Tempest specialization. Essence Containment Apparatuses can ONLY be found on ?? at: 1 in Apostate's Landing, 1 in Long River and 1 in Storm's Solitude in The Storm Coast. Readings can be found among the belongings of Sera or, if those are unavailable, among the wares of the book merchant in Val Royeaux.
