Celestial Armor should get a stat...

Based on the information out today, Celestial doesn’t get anything extra
Celestial gear should be left AS IS.
If ANet thinks its good enough to use without MF, then those of us who use it aren’t sacrificing ability for loot, we aren’t slowing the party down unacceptably, and the BASIC REASON FOR GETTING RID OF MF AT ALL DOESN’T APPLY.
I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

Other armor sets with Magic find are getting a replacement stat to fill in for the listed Magic find stat. It would probably be fair to do the same for Celestial gear as well.
Maybe just increase all the the Celestial Gear stats by 1 or 2 to compensate for the MF stat loss is my suggestion.
The real problem about celestial gear is that is too difficult to get. 1 charged quartz per day and a small chance of getting a second one its too abusive for a set that doesn’t offer any advantage.
With the new patch ascended weapons use the same sistem for their crafting. In this case it makes sense so everyone can afford to get one at the same time rich player do.
Again, celestial should get something in return such as boon duration/condition duration
Well, all the current players are getting 20% MF for free so it’s still a nerf, but you’ll have a similar amount of MF.
The point of Celestial is you git a little bit of a lot of stats. Taking away one of those stats makes Celestial less effective. The other stats should get a small boost to compensate, or some other stat should replace MF.

MagicFind was the PRIMARY STAT on celestial.
All other stats on any stat set are always reduced to offset the primary stat.
Take away the primary stat, and all you have is a bunch of secondary stats and an inferior item in general regardless of content it’s used it
Celestial gear should be left AS IS.

Got a point there…

Celestial was already niche even with the MF bonus. Taking that away without some form of direct stat compensation is not helping.
They need to do something with it. Just removing the MF and then giving everyone who uses Celestial the finger would be incredibly weak.
