Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone. I have almost got my new Ele to 80, and i’m struggling to find out what is the best gear i can buy. Full celestial is not something i can afford now, but something i can surely work on.
The build on Metabattle ( http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Elementalist_-_D/D_Roamer ) says that “It is NOT required to make celestial armor to be equally effective with this build. It does NOT matter where you get your celestial stats from, and it might therefore be more convenient to take some celestial trinkets instead, since celestial armor is heavily timegated. Aim for 125-175 points worth of celestial. (Meaning 125-175 +all stats which is about three trinkets)”.
Which could be a good starting point, but what then? Let’s say i can get 3 celestial trinkets, what stat set should i look for for my gear while waiting for full celestial?
Thanks in advance.

This is what I run, stats are similar to the build suggested by Metabattle, but doesn’t use a single celestial armor piece, I mostly use Knight’s and Cavalier’s:

You can shave some toughness off with zerker armor pieces if you’d like to.

Full celestial isn’t great. The metabattle spread is better. Fill out your gear so the total spread matches the metabattle one.
