Guild Wars 2

It says,
Celestial is an all stats combo, something previously only found on Ascended gear

Does this mean, all armor and weapons crafted will have the 1% stat increase per item like all ascended items do ?

That 1st southsun cove event gived us with an ‘exotic’ ancient karma (accessory) with a slot for an exquisite jewel. Making it only half celestial.
It had +25 to all stats and +3% to crit damage and magic find.
Versus ascended’s accessory’s +38 all stat, +5% crit damage and +4% mf.
But without and celestial exquisite jewel its hard to compare.

The new celestial gear is exotic, so I don’t understand why it would have a % stat increase or anything like that, or what you even mean by that. So the armor is just like other exotic armor, but with a different stat scheme/look.

If you compare the base stats and exclude any upgrades, ascended gear is roughly 175% the strength of basic white gear, whereas exotic is 165%.

If you want an idea of how strong they’ll be, then celestial trinkets seem to give roughly 43~45% of the primary stat bonus to all stats, so I’m guestimating that a full armor set will give 135~140 to all stats and ~10 crit damage

The statement about “previously only found on ascended”, refers to the fact that up til now the vast majority of celestial gear was ascended only (Exception: Amulet)

We can now obtain full exotic celestial gear, so obviously it’s stats will be in line with normal exotics.
