The Celestial set just doesn’t compare to dedicated nomenclatures. The numbers of builds that can implement it are already rare, making it a niche set, but it is likely outperformed even for them.

For a jack-of-all-trades gear to work, it needs to give higher total stats than dedicated items to make up for the split. Celestial doesn’t do that – or doesn’t do it well enough – especially in PvP.

Currently, it offers 295 to each stat and 15% crit damage for the amulet and 45 to each stat and 45 to each stat and 5% crit damage for the gem. The crit damage is fine, but the stats aren’t quite high enough to make the set competitive.

I’d suggest buffing it slightly over time until a healthy amount is found. That way it’ll see some use without becoming ridiculous.

A nice start might be to buff all stats up by 5 on each, such that they are 300 each on the Amulet, 50 each on the gem.

And add the set to PvE, please. Alongside P/Pre/V, it is one of those sets that could open up a few good builds for PvE/WvW.
