Guild Wars 2

So glass cannon builds will be glassier right? And defensive more defensive. What happens to cele?

(someone mentioned they’ll be indirectly nerfed. wanted to ask before I make any)

well they get a bit more of everything, but not as much of each individual, so in the end not much change, they will likely be about as much tankier than a full glass as they current are, and about as glassy compared to a full tanky currently. Thus the better you utilise each and every stat of cele the more you gain from the extra stats you get

If Glass will get glassier, Tanky gets Tankier, then Cele will clearly get Cele-er.

well they get more base stats but the cele ammy from what i gather , even after the reshuffle of stats, is going to be nerfed slightly (10%??). With the removal of stats from traitlines its a huge change for cele. means no more free 30% boon duration, 3k hp or 300 healing power. Their survivability will decrease greatly due to less protection and lower sustain from healing. As it stands the cele should be weaker over all but its yet to be seen if somehow working tempest in there with the sword skills will make for a replacement.

Cele will get Celery.

Pvp is gonna get nerfed, I’m hoping they give pve a bit of love though, it’s pretty limited in use (especially considering the relative difficulty of obtaining it)

You meant celestial stats as a whole. cele also refers to a celestial elementalist which is what my post refers to since the differentiation wasn’t clear.
Never the less the stats from the ammy are being nerfedfrom my understanding but it will still be an all round set. But because of the loss of stats from traits it will be just that, all round in everything, nothing more nothing less. No extra toughtness, healing power, boon duration nothing so in a word yes its an indirect nerf to celestial builds.
