Guild Wars 2

What is happening with Celestial gear? The magic find is the reason many people got the gear, and the reason the gear is used by more than 2 specs. If it just disappears like an earlier Anet guy said, with nothing replacing or compensating for it, that would be very unfair.

On another, related note: what happens to Magic Find armour that has been transmuted with Cultural armour? Will it become account-bound, but only for the correct race? Or are the pieces split?

Watch the livestream (youtube it), you’ll see that celestial still exists and the new stats on the weapon at least.

Also, be grateful we’re all getting 300% built in magic find after the X number days to accumulate Luck. Anet is basically saying “hey go farm away anywhere in the world at any spot, we’re giving you a nice chance of getting loot for a change at minimal cost (time investment).”

I hate magic find on gear. But if it is just removed from Celestial gear with no other changes, then Anet would have failed everyone who got the gear.

Your answer…was not really an answer, btw.

MF on celestial will be gone and not be replaced by any other stat, nor will the other stats on it get a buff. That was confirmed by a dev in the LS forum.

There was no confirmation on the LF forum.

The original ‘Celestial will just lose MF’ was said by the Head of Global Community, in this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Magic-Find-merged-1/page/2

That, however, must be some kind of mistake, because removing the stat with no compensation or chance at a refund is just plain wrong.

Why?
Celestial already have more stats than other items on the same tier, removing a completely useless stat (combat-wise) won’t really change that.

Why?
Ning.

my 2 cents

Alot of people grabbed celestial gear because it’s the best you can get if you are looking for more than 3 stats that you get alot of uses from.

I dont care about the magic find I put it on my ele because my ele gets use out of all the stats in some form on a consistant basis. There are alot of people that run celestial and really don’t care about the magic find on it at all.

From this thread I guess there are alot of people that care about the magic find on it too.

Solution? make it magic find account bound so you don’t have to run X with Y character because Z doesn’t have magic find gear. Works for me.

I know that’s why I posted it.

That is the worst logic ever. People acquired the gear with the MF stat. It was part of reason many people acquired the gear. To just remove it with zero compensation and no offer of a refund is horrible.

Oh and by your ‘logic’, they should just remove all MF from everything and be done with it. No compensation, no refunds. I mean, they are not adding anything to combat, right? Just delete the stat and leave the items with two or whatever.

Celestials has more raw stats, that is true. But if you translate those to effective stats, effective power or effective health, you will find that celestials are underpowered compared to mixing other gear types.

MF was the primary stat in them and now when it will be removed i cant find any reason, except curiosity, to ever use them.

Well lack of knowledge is also a reason ofc.

^Yeah I’m really surprised Krall didn’t seem to get how Asymmetric specializing works here. Then again he might have just been pulling a devil’s advocate
