So I plan on running full celestial ascended gear when I get it and right now I’m about to craft my ascended Great Sword and I was wondering which stats I should get. Should I get Zojja’s (berserker) or WupWup (Celestial) . FYI I have full celestial trinkets as well and I favour the aesthetics of wupwup cos it’s rainbow

For your own sake, don’t use Celestial armor. Ever. For anything. Unless specifically you’ve A) been advised to do so by somebody who’s done the mathematics or been taught the mathematics and found out you’re lucky enough to be able to use Celestial gear on, maybe, a single piece of armor.

EDIT: wow, apparently putting B and ) together makes a face. Hmm. :P

Celestial armor is worth it, trinkets are kitten. As said above, get on a good build crafting site, where you can see effective stats, and you will find that trinkets are bad and head, chest, legs and maybe weapons are worth it in celestials. The rest you mix to get the stats you want.

With that said i craft my entire ascended in celestials but since im only going to own one ascended armor so i took the one i could do most stuff with. Will get the final piece on christmas eve or the day after. Depends on how wvw goes this weekend.

It all depends on what you’re doing. Celestial definitely has a place in wvw, not really anywhere else though.

Thanks for your opinions! So I went on GW2 build editing site… I don’t know if it’s reliable though.. So I’m going to post 4 different stat sets without the armor/weapons so people don’t criticize and give me your opinions on stats please

celestial is horrible for trinkets. i made the mistake of trying that. fortunately the trinkets arent that much of a pain to get compared to other ascended stuff. So save yourself the laurels and whatever else, dont use celestial for jewlery. If you must use celestial, use a couple armor pieces and/or weapon.

allrighty idk I feel an urge to go Celestial armor but i’m not sure exactly how to do it… People say you should have at least 3000 attack and a decent crit chance to be useful in PvE content… but I can’t figure out a way around it

Here is my current build, a balanced one, with some Precision food :

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR7flUgqCHFyvDf4ESmiVCBrUEP3D2DMKj6IA-j0CBYjCyEEQ0HwUBAJqFRjtSqIasqaCp6aY6XR2eLRmcDrWIgyLAA-w

3k power (more with Bloodlust), 2,7k sweet spot armor, 48% crit, 52% crit damage.
Some burning power and good healing in WvW with plenty of dodges, Resolution, and ZB.
Not bad boon duration.
2 Stun Breakers.

Plenty of conditions removal through PoV and Absolute Resolution.
With Retreat and SY, along with Runes of the Pack, you can have near perma-Swiftness, for WvW.

Can replace Retreat for Hold the Line, when approaching combat.
Can switch Virtues II to VI (Master of Consecration) and replace Hold the Line by Wall of Reflection, for Fractals or Zerg combat.
Can go full melee, or switch to Scepter / Torch to shoot through WoR.

It’s easy to change some trinkets to Zerks when doing pve content.
You can perform well in any content with it. Enjoy.

As been said, skip celestial trinkets, you loose out on stats by using them. Any build with celestial trinkets can be bettered by mixing other types of trinkets/gear.

If you are going to get celestial go for armor and weapons. If you wvw hoelbrak runes are really nice as condiremoval and they also push your power. But imo they require staff and at least retreat to work ok in wvw. I just hate moving like a snail.

If i where you i would pick celestial armor and weapon.
Berserker back and trinkets
Cleric amulet and ring and finsih it off with a berserker ring.

But to contradict myself, im close to all celestial in my gear but the reason for that is that i only do wvw and pvp atm and i cant see myself ever get a second set of ascended and celestial can do pretty much everything but not optimal. So i compromise.

Easy. Two builds. One for PvE → full zerker(maybe knights armor with zerker trinkets if you are new), and one for WvW→ Whatever really, since you can do whatever there and no one really cares.
