I would advise anyone to look at the builds section of these forums. Almost every class has people advocating Celestial gear; which means that no class is excelling in any single aspect.

A strong selling point for this game is that no two classes played the same. Now we have a situation where the desire for balance is choking playability. I like the give and take and making tradeoffs. That allows me to pick which classes are the most enjoyable. Now it’s like we just have more and more complicated and diverse ways of doing exactly the same things.

You can play however you want and use whatever build you want. You’re not required to do whatever other people suggest. Play your favorite play style.

Well, I agree in theory but I am not sure if you are referring to a specific game mode. It could be that celestial is a jack of all trades stat and people haven’t learned to optimize yet, though it might be also that certain builds are so well-rounded that they can take celestial and have virtually everything.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

That is possible, but the specialty trait lines seem to suggest 1-2 playstyles; and it seems that those are always balanced. I prefer more unbalanced play myself.

It looks a bit on a healing spec. I checked them on all professions
