I build a 1vX build with a nice balance between survival and DPS but leaning towards DPS thoughts on the celestial is it really worth it?

How much celestial you put on your gear is only how much YOU value those stats.

It isn’t a yes or no it is completely player dependent and what YOU want. If you come to a specific point in putting the build together and say “Hmm I want to add more damage” Then the answer is a simple add a zerk piece that is how you should think about celestial and if you want to use it.

If I have in my build 2700 armor but only 15k hp but I want 17k hp I have to figure out how to make that happen and what I am willing to sacrifice to get 17k hp.

How you have your build celestial isn’t that good on the trinkets. If you took your build and swapped those 2 celestial trinkets for 2 celestial weapons and put the zerker on the trinkets the stats probably look a bit better. Imagine trade offs of one piece for another.

Say I have a knights coat and a knights ring but want celestial stats at this point of the build process. I am better trading the knights coat for celestial then trading the knights ring for celestial. That is how it is for pretty much any piece of gear really.

As far as will your build work 1vX only depends on how bad the people are fighting are.

Lets say you consider yourself a really good elementalist and roaming around you come across a Elementalist fighting 2 people you hop in and kill him. Did that happen because the build could only support a fight against 2 people and not 3 or because you are a good player and know how elementalist work.

I never roam around see a Ele and think I can’t win this fight on my own I need backup.

1vX builds usually only work because the enemies aren’t very good. Or the 1vX build is a direct counter to what the other people happen to be running. 30/20/0/0/20 Necro Terrormancer could be a 1v6 build IF I blow up one target and epidemic with 5 people standing near by and they don’t have condition clear.

Really just ask yourself do you find you need help killing another elementalist. Also there isn’t much difference in any D/D build as long as you have 20 water and 30 Arcana. Moving 10 trait points doesn’t do anything substantial to how it plays. Even moving 20 doesn’t. It just changes probably what heal you take, what utilities you might run.

If you want to 1vX vs anybody no matter how good they are then you can run full clerics, soldiers, or sentinels you won’t kill them they won’t kill you.

I don’t know if you are new to Ele or not I hope my post doesn’t come off to harsh. Just giving my honest opinion.

Celestial also gives better crit damage on coat and helm than anything else, so those are the first pieces I would make, and the last I would trade out.
