I just cracked a chest with my first piece of Glorious. I was very excited because it let me pick my stats, and when doing Fractals I’ve been really missing the healing power I have in PvP as an elementalist.
Why is there no Celestial option for the Glorious armour?
Acended armor is required or should be considered crafting, if you are into going levelling higher fractals – in terms of getting agony resistance.
You should keep in mind that healing is really some issue in this game. Since healing – regeneration will be overwritten by other party members.
The glorious reward track is a PvP only available – I don’t want to put it that way, but it’s more a skin, which can only be attains by completing this particular reward track.
I would say that there’s no option because of the high expenses for crafting and kind of celestial gear.
Matts required to craft celestial armor are account bound and can only be obtained by playing – there might be some kind of advantage over just selecting the armor set then getting / having Charged Quartz Crystals. Since you can only convert 25 Quarts Crystals a day into one charged Quartz Crystal.
The PvP rewards are also time gated, since you can’t just burn gems/gold into earning bonus reward track time. And the gear is still exotic quality (of which there is Celestial), and Glorious soulbinds, not account binds, so you can’t even change it to other characters.
And I’m open to Ascended being better than Exotics, that’s fine. I’m not 80 yet, and I don’t expect stuff I’ve earned before then to be the best of the best out there (unlike Crafting, which would be exactly that). I just don’t see a rational behind soulbound Celestial gear not being available.
