Guild Wars 2

Hi,
I like most of the changes in this new patch beside the celestial gear damage nerf.

I got celestial gear specifically because it could keep my criticals high and flatten the other stats. Now with the new gear I will lost way more than 10% crit damage, it’s more like a 35% crit damage lost.

It’s terrible for some of us, after spending literally months finding the gold and laurels to craft this stuff to have all our stats celestial items flatten out. I’ve even spent real money on the gem store to speed up the process of making the ascended armor.

I mean this is serious: some of us have more than 1 character with celestial ascended gear.

What is 6% compensation anyway for a stat on an helm, like 2 points? That is useless in comparison to keeping your crit damage up. Maybe 15% would have made a difference but 6%?

Anyway I expect that once the patch is release we will be able to doubleclick on the celestial armors and trinkets and choose the stats we want. That would be the very least of things considering we have to remake our entire builds, sometimes for many characters.

No. My opinion.

Buy more gold

Anet better allow celestial gear reset!!!!!

It take a minimum of 30 days to make the crystal to make a set of ascended celestial armour and 10 more days to make a set of weapons. This make the celestial the most difficult set to make.

I am most annoyed that Celestial get nerf the hardest yet it is the most time consuming and expensive set to make! As I see it Anet have zero respect for their player’s time and effort. For me this is a game breaker, I was happy to just wait and see for another few more months to see how this game turn out. But this just give me a strong urge to pre-order the other game!

I highly doubt they’ll do stat resets on celestial gear, especially since they already said they’d be compensating by slightly increasing all other stats. “To compensate, we’re increasing the overall effectiveness of Celestial gear by improving all stats by 6% of their current values.”

If I don’t get a refund or swap stats on my celestial I’ll be voting with my feet. End of.

This kind of reminds me of other MMO’s where you get an expansion and all your hard-earned gear is rendered obsolete. Without the expansion.

The fact they feel they compensated enough by the 6% increase on the other stats (unlike having a stat that completely disappeared like MF) and:

mind-set of MMO’s, I’d be completely shocked if there was a stat-swap allowed. Just being skeptical old me. I better start hoarding gold to adjust to the new patch asap.
