I’ve been watching parts of ToL EU and NA and was noticing some peculiarities:
- The further the matches advanced the less condi builds seemed present in the teams. Apart from the spirit rangers and a necro here and there, there were pretty much none.
- A fair presence of people using the celestial amulet: not only elementalist, but even engineers in builds that would traditionally use rabid instead.

So, the question, given that our condi builds have fairly hybrid trait spreads already and that both staff and scepter are more hybrid in nature than they are generally given credit: could we make the same move and slap on celestial instead of rabid/carrion? Why would it (not) work?

Technically possible, however the issue is that those classes tend to have buffs to cover other losses. They can stack their own might/fury, increasing damage, things like that. We don’t have that easy of access to those things, like at all, so its a matter of if the amulet alone is enough, and I don’t think we really have the mechanics to support celestial.

This is what I use in sPvP. I focus on power primarily and fight from DS. Don’t focus condi with celestial, it makes the ferocity a waste.
