Guild Wars 2

Just how much is a 6% buff gonna affect Celestial stats?

Trying to decide what to pick for my backpiece? Stuck on either Cele or Soldiers

Cele stats on the backpiece
+22 Power, Precision, Toughness, Vitality, HP, CD
3% crit

Or should i go soldier?
Just trying to decide since im at the final stage of the spinal blades

It’ll go from being bad to slightly less bad, but still bad, regardless of who it is on.

You haven’t given any information on what class you run, or where you intend to use gear. So follow these simple guidelines as a base:

• WvW Zergs? Go PVT
• PvE Dungeons? Zerker only please
• WvW Roaming? That will require you looking more indepth to your class
• Open world PvE? Why do you even care about your stats?

I do pretty much all that. I was thinking PVT as a whole due to im an Grenade Engie. and two traits allow vitality converted to condi, and toughness to more power?

Im not a big believer in OMG EVERYONE HAVE ZERK FOR DUNGEONS. I rather have survivalbility.

So maybe a mix between PVT / Zerker? Or just have accessories PVT mostly and lug around zerk and soldiers?

Backpieces/Trinkets are the best place to get Critical Damage, so if you want any these are the pieces to include it on.

Precision is a very useful stat for more than just extra damage. Most classes have traits that are “on crit”, as well as Sigils.

Usually what people run if they want to be a little more “tanky”, is run Zerker Backpiece /Trinkets for what I said earlier, with PVT Armor. This would make you more than resilient enough in WvW zergs, and not too much of a hindrance to “non speedrun” dungeons. Do note, this doesn’t qualify you as a DPS and any LFG requiring such is not for a player like you.

Id still do it anyway. Some people just take the game to seriously and need to chill :P

But thanks for the advice

Also isnt crit going ferocity anyway?

Honestly, a speedrun would kick you at the sight of you being an Engineer so you wouldn’t be able to get in a pug quality one worth its salt. Pugs be pugs.

Crit damage is, but Precision will still be extremely important.

Alright

Is Zerk/Valk a good middleground since im at the Asc stage of the Spinal Blades? looks the same just adds in vitality?

Edit : little less precision :<

It’ll all depend on stat rebalancing. Right now, you shouldn’t pick celestial backpiece at all, really. It’s the worst part there is out of all Celestial Gear pieces relative to it’s counterparts(+27% stats compared to other gear; literally nothing compared to average +35% and +43% on leggings).
I can’t advice anything but to wait and see how it turns out.

Nice comment, except that it has an expiration date of 3 and a half days.

Is there a way to turn off the Your wearing statless equipment notification then? xD

I assumed the distribution of crit damage is staying how it is, rather than balancing. Oh well, I kitten ed.
