Guild Wars 2

Just an idea for an only Celestial item build. Why? Because I thought celestial would be useless. But this would work for WvW roaming.

All Celestial Quad Meditation: DPS build

With Bloodlust you’ll have 2914 attack. I was surprised how high I got the stats to turn out. (Note: I’ve used ascended trinkets because at this point in the game they’re readily available)

General thoughts:
-Burning is going to tick for 517. Not bad at all.
-Healing is 2.1k per mediation. Not a huge increase (Only scales by .4HP) but given how often you use mediation’s that’ll add up.
-That critical damage… I’m running a zerker build with maybe 100 more armor, 100 more power but 40 less critical damage and hitting like a truck (1.5k autos even on heavies!) I’m actually a little excited to try this build out and check the damage.
-It’s only going to be good for DPS builds, just because of the built in crit damage. But I’m fine with that.
-Swap backpiece/amulet for zerker and that low power doesn’t seem so bad.

Leave thoughts

Update: Made the armor for myself. Only difference is I’m using a zerker backpiece and zerker amulet. Without blood lust it hits as hard as my build with 66% critical damage and 3k attack as a base. With blood lust it hits harder + has better healing power and burns tick for 519 damage. Only problem is the lack of speed.

Looks ok but trinkets are very lacking in stats!
Just so you can compare numbers, this is what i got with min-maxing ascended armor.
100% Crit Chance when in Fury and 25 Stacks of Sigil of Perception

Celestial is far away from being anywhere close to DPS due to the lack of power.

Your power is definitely low. You should aim at least for 3,4k attack without any buff for a DPS build.

i made a roaming meditation build that use celestial armour
shield of wrath failed here but the dmg was still pretty good

This may prove more useful, OP?

Celestial is amazing in WvW, there are better options for roaming though.

I mean the point is that it’s full celestial, clearly I understand there are better options for roaming. It’s suppose to be a counter to saying celestial is trash.

also, 3.4 attack without any buff would be ridiculous. 100% full zerker (exo) is 3019 attack with no traits/food/stacks. That’d mean going into the zeal trait line, which is our worst trait line hands down.

Look at power, not attack.

I’ve run a celestrial DPS-centered build on my Ranger. Not too shabby. Was thinking it might be worth looking into on my Gaurdian.

if you can get to 1k healing power while retaining good crit damage, crit chance and at least 1700 power, it would be possible to do well in duels/roaming. currently, it’s difficult to achieve these stats without gimping your build or without going full celestial (which is unrealistic for most people). i tried to incorporate clerics into my offensive builds, but it gimps offensive stats too much.

Celestial is all round great for wvw, but for roaming a mediation dps focused build would be superior

I’m trying to figure out what you are going for. Your attack is very low, no amount of crit chance and crit dmg is going to help that. I’d honestly drop some vit and try to pick up some power and toughness.

If you wanna go celestial, you need loads of might.
That’s the rule of the thumb. Get some might duration bonus from your runes and slap some traits/sigils, which grand might. Without a good bolster of might stacks, your damage might aswell not exist.

1.5k autos LOL c’mon man gotta get it higher

Personally I wouldn’t go celestial. Go:

-Zerker weapons
-PVT/Cavalier armour
-Zerker/Cavalier trinkets
-With traveler runes

Now not only do you do decent damage, but you’ve got great tank stats, extra boon duration and fast movement speed.
