I run full Celestial armor and trinkets, except for rings,
where I use instead Cirque of Arah / Band of the Brotherhood to compensate the lack of Precision.

What I like the most is my build is less one dimensional than before, especially in WvW.

It still packs some punch (3K+ power, 50% critical, 75% crit damage), but can be efficient with some burning damage , and healing as well.

got 11 pieces (full armor, scepter+focus, rings and amulet) in total now and frankly i started to think these little suckers are just great.

As long as you use all stats in your ordinary gameplay this cant go wrong, and i actually found such a build, i was actually was suggested one.

I think its definitely worth investing heavily into this armor and i will go the full monty with accessories and also a secondary weapon.

Most fun i had in a long time in wvw.

I abandoned the might stacking for now and use energy and 5% crit sigils instead and boon duration and might duration runes. And will end up playing staff as main weapon and alter between hammer and scepter/focus as one setup.

My second setup will mace/torch but those are 9 days away.

I’d love to see what build you’re running.

I finished my full Celestial armor set just recently, and run with sets of DPS- or support-based weapons and trinkets to put on as the situation suggests. I couldn’t be happier! The Celestial gear provides me a stable base upon which I can afford to be flexible, and if I really want to change up a build, there’s no need to compile an entirely new set of gear. Celestial gear probably won’t be optimal for most builds & purposes, but the flexibility & effectiveness to me are well worth it.

For the Coast!
