Guild Wars 2

Are the stats on the armor correct? Based on what I have seen posted on reddit and elsewhere show that the new armor gives more total point boosts than any other armor set? Will this armor be nerfed to be statistically equivalent to the other armor sets?

Looking to find out before I invest time/gold to replace my magic find armor with this since it seems far superior. Would hate to get the armor to only have it nerfed.

It probably does, but having more of everything doesn’t necessarily help you more than having a bit less of three specific things.

Celestial will have more points over all but they are spread out over every attribute so it is balanced. For an already in game example look at ascended rings. The celestial one, NOT counting the magic find and crit damage has 258 stat points. While other rings have about 230 points. So yes over all they will have more, but for most builds you want to be specialized rather than “ok at everything but great at nothing”.

Celestial items have always given more stat points total than an equivalent-tier 3-stat item. You can compare the ascended rings, amulets, and trinkets as examples.

When looking at the jewelry it isnt equivalent. For example, when I want max magic find, I only get power and precision, but now with this armor I can get max crit damage and max magic find together along with getting 66% of normal in every stat. This will make me way stronger than I used to be when using magic find. I agree I will use a specific armor set for dungeons or other activities. Right now I use sentinal for dungeons on my necro.

I do worry will get nerfed when many people start moving to this set for their primary magic find gear.

It’s op when people get 18% magic find off of gear, is it not?

…why would they care if one magic find set is better than another magic find set? If anything they probably realize how utterly rubbish MF gear is, but decided to do this rather than buffing it or removing the stat.
