Guild Wars 2

So given the change to stats in general, do you think celestial stats will give even more stats to their counterparts.

News communicated so far is:
Trait stats removed
Base-line stats increased (roughly by 100)
Armor stas increased to make up missing numbers
But…. Celestial Armor numbers will be slightly decreased to balance the fact that all base stats have already been increased.
Although i think this is wrong and will void celestial armor, the news communicated is still not set in stone and may change so fingers crossed..

Adjusting the Celestial stats for PvE & WvW too is just a rumour so far. They have only confirmed they will reduce the Celestial stats on the PvP amulet.

1. Step (in PvP): Increase stats to compensate the trait loss
2. Step: decrease the Celestial only by around 10% compared to the rest.

With PvE (and to a lesser extend WvW) is heavily focused on the Berserker meta, it makes no sense to reduce the appeal of Celestial armour (or other types) even further.
Celestial, on the contrary, would make excellent base line stats for those who lose points in defensive stats like Vitality, Toughness and Healing Power from the trait re-work. A nerf would be counter productive.
