Anybody plans to try out celestial armor?

I am currently getting Celestial trinkets and I am doing so to be able to switch from one type of build to another without the need to change 100% of my equipment.

However I do not know if I would go 100% celestial.

I already have quite a few armor sets so I do not know if I should get yet another one…

you could just buy the Chest and Leggings and keep the rest of the slots more focused.

under the header Level 80 attribute values you will see that the chestpiece give the same stats as Shoulders. Gloves and Boots combined.

Ahh, Celestial Armor. I for one can’t wait to try it out. But I have a feeling that running 100% Celestial will take away that BM feel I have with my current build. I’ll crunch the numbers and theory craft before I buy. Although switching only the leggings and pauldron may be a viable option for my current build.

It depends on build and weapons of course but I think rangers are one of the classes that could make real good use of this, best is probably elementalist I would guess but rangers aswell cause pretty much all stats are important for some aspect of our class and we have a pretty good mix of power and conditions on our weapons too.

Elementalist are the best ones to make use of it. Guards can too and probably rangers if they use mixed weapons like sword/SB/GS.

Yes mostly I was thinking our 1h options, sword/axe/torch/warhorn it’s alot of both types of damage in those.

I already have full celestial trinkets so I’ll definetly try having the full armor aswell in terms of dps I think it will be really strong, probably end up a little too squishy for pvp though.

yes I was thinking about the same. I will make one set of armor for sure and also the weapons and give it a test. But you know that for the entire armor it takes 30 days and per weapon another five days to craft?^^
And they are account bound so you can’t buy/sell them in the tradepost.

you think it will be good? I was thinking of getting a new set for a condition build with traps or some kind of condition hybrid and thinking of going with celestial but i don’t know

Just try it or wait for others to do it first, I mean aslong as you have a good access to both conditions and strong direct damage it really can’t be bad you’ll get decent crits since celestial also have +crit damage and also strong conditions, In my mind it’s something similar to how the current geomancy/condition setups work by rolling the conditions with weaponswaps but with increased direct damage ontop that will be best for this.

I split my playtime pretty evenly between my ranger and engineer. Given that it takes a whole month to make a set of celestial armor I’m kind of torn on where to focus first. I think the engineer may make better use of the offensive stat division but I’m not certain.

I have full celestial trinkets, but I’m not sure if I’m gonna make full celestial armor. The idea of not having to swap armor ever again is nice, but I don’t think it will be as good in practice because of the lack of focus. The runes will also be an issue.

I’ll have to check the numbers first before I make a full set.

I’ll end up crafting a full set. Right now on my T3 cultural armor I have berserker stats with runes of divinity (Divinity runes weren’t always so expensive…expect the price to rise too since people will demand it due to this gear). I also happen to have all of the celestial trinkets. I’m expecting to be able to get away with marks/skirm/survival trait focused builds with more efficiency and more defense in WvW than our current options. Hopefully I get lucky on some personal nodes

You’ll get 140 for power, precision, condition damage, toughness, Vitality, and healing. 18% MF and 19% Crit Damage.

Actually looks quite nice – be interested to see what you can come up with, Xsorus!

(should add .. this is armour only – no trinkets)

Comparing stat totals off of armor alone you get:

Celestial Armor Set
140 Power
140 Precision
140 Toughness
140 Vitality
140 Healing Power
140 Condition Damage
19% Critical Damage
18% Magic Find

Apoth Armor Set
224 Toughness
224 Condition Damage
315 Healing Power

So in the end you get 84 less Condition Damage, 84 less Toughness and 175 less Healing Power. But you gain a slew of other stats. The loss of Healing power is kind iffy for my build imo, but for other builds with already high Healing Power it may not be a big deal.

This set has given me new interest in playing my Ranger!

Currently wearing Knights on my GS/LB beastmaster but wanted to try something with either spirits or traps.

I think the main thing I was bored with on my ranger was I was getting bored of just greatsword, longbow and sword and the other weapons are kitten for direct damage although I haven’t really touched torch. With this Celestial armor, I’m going to be able to diversify my playstyle!

I want a might-stacker build with decent toughness/healing!

This Armor might be interesting on a power based regen build . but as we all know quite well. As an already bland class if we dont dive deep into a specialization we are luke warm at best.

Ill be keeping an eye on the sets for testing purposes. especially on my DD Re-Port331

I normally use my runes for the effects, IE i’ll take mercy for the rezzing abilities, or Grove for the protection + immob etc. So that wouldn’t suddenly change and make me want Divinity Runes xD, that being said… all my builds tend to lack real focus (with some exceptions), so Celestial Gear may be the greatest thing in the game for me xD

On 2nd thought, I am going to run either dwayna or dolyak runes. Although, I like the idea of the grove runes with that immob but I dunno. I am starting to get the celestial ascended trinkets. Already got all the crystals I need so now it’s a matter of making all the charged crystals to make the armor.

Best setup i’ve found so far with it is Clerics

30 Skirmish/30 Wilderness/10 Nature’s

Don’t bother with Muddy Terrain, Dog/Wolf is alright, though I feel with the setup you need more damage as its non condition based.

Shortbow/Greatsword with Signet of Hunt/Signet of Wild/Techno, Build sort of like you’d do a Bunker Ranger with Rune of Dywana, Sigils you want a Power one, and usually Lightning or Weapon Swap Chill.

I actually prefer Drakes still, though Spiders also work very well…

Technobabble with Moment of Clarity is 4 seconds, then you have the Shortbow/Greatsword Dazes/Stuns and it adds up….Time it right and you can chain lock down someone to death.

I’m thinking almost any ranger with an eye towards self regen can work some mojo with Celestial. Shortbow certainly can find a use for a splash of power, condition damage, precision, and crit damage. Throw in slightly buffed regen (heal power) toughness, and vitality and you could be very nearly as tough as the toughest bunkers and dish slightly better damage both directly and via bleeds.

The main problem with not having an Asura is you lose access to a third daze. Technobabble, as Xsorus pointed out, becomes a 4 second daze with moment of clarity. If you drop it on someone who’s already used stunbreakers they can literally do nothing except run and dodge for a full four seconds.

That and with only 2, shorter duration daze/stuns at your disposal it’s harder to pull off a lockdown. In theory a Sylvari could use grasping vines to similar effect but it wouldn’t be the same thing.

As for other thoughts on racial types, you could make a SB, S/D Charr with Hidden pistol for evasion spam…

Celestial actually gives more stats in sum then any other gear type

I’ve been testing a full Celestial+Divinity sets in the Mists. Yes it does give more total stats than any other gear, but the end result is rather meh. You’re ok-to-good at everything (instead of average), but not really great at anything. There’s no single strength or strategy you can rely on as your forte, your trump card when you really need to do burst damage.

I think to really take advantage of it, you’re going to have to mix it with a few runes or accessory pieces which focus on either power, crits, or condition damage – your choice (or I suppose healing if you want a more support build).

The pvp amulets are diffrent, the celestial pvp amulet sucks because that one actually gives less total stats than all the other ones but in pve/wvw it’s the other way round there celestial gives a much larger total stat number and on the new armor coming it actually has higher +crit damage than berserker does.

Actually the strength of a Celestial Build -is- the total lack of focus, I normally use my rune choice for an effect (varies), and then you wanna mix your traits up, and generally my strongest celestial builds don’t go more than 20 in any line.

What makes celestial builds so strong is they don’t have a counter, they cleanse your condis (which you absolutely should be using), so what? You still have pretty good DD (especially with perma fury) they avoid your burst combo, sucks to be them you still have good sustain, not to mention that vitality, toughness, and healing power combo leads to some very nice survivability in the right hands.

To do well with a celestial build you don’t want much focus, if you put 30 pts in a tree (which I wouldn’t advise) use your runes to off set that, IE you go 30 in WS take runes that give support or raw damage, otherwise you’ll be gimping yourself for no reason.

I don’t think any build is good with full celestial, basically this is how you use Celestial. When you make a hybrid build if you want to make use of every stat add Celestial until you reach a number you want on a stats, then start using certain gear types.

Example on my Ele i use 5 Celestial Trinkets, Cavalier Backpiece, 2 Cleric Daggers, 6 Knight Armor.

Last time they added a set to the game, they seriously nerfed the primary build using it (Settler’s armour and the BM bunker build).

I use Celestial trinkets because I didn’t want to commit to a single build due to the design of ascended time gates, but I still think you are best specialising in general. One of the reasons I ran Celestial trinkets was because I built a hybrid shortbow build (power, prec and crit primarily but I wanted my bleeds to hurt) and felt like I could use the other stats. The defensive stats didn’t hurt whenever I used the greatsword. Aside from my staff ele, my ranger was my only class that felt like it would use celestial stats.

I think Celestial gear is great for hybrid builds (although it’s still probably not ideal) and for experimenting with a lot of different builds without making a huge commitment (the number of “bonus” stats is appealing in PvE), but I doubt there are many builds out there that wouldn’t be better off committing to a focused stats rather than a general one.

Technobabble with Moment of Clarity is 4 seconds, then you have the Shortbow/Greatsword Dazes/Stuns and it adds up….Time it right and you can chain lock down someone to death.

What if I am not playing as Asura? Is there any possibility of making a similar build, for example, a build with runes of mesmer?

Technobabble build requires Asura

Pain Inverter and Technoblade really make me regret rolling a Norn

PI’s been nerfed to not be really worth it anymore, Technobabble though is still a Niche Build and can work…

What’s wrong with PI? It seems pretty strong still if you ask me.

It would probably work decently with my Technobabble Build like I said, I may have to eventually make a set to try it out.

what all does your build entail? ive been messing around with babble myself , Mixing muddy terrain,technobabble,Dog/Wolf and entangle makes a great mass CC build Rotation.

Best setup i’ve found so far with it is Clerics

30 Skirmish/30 Wilderness/10 Nature’s

Don’t bother with Muddy Terrain, Dog/Wolf is alright, though I feel with the setup you need more damage as its non condition based.

But you have that one elite that’s essentially “I was losing a fight? NO I WASNT!!! I wasn’t even NEAR that fight!” It makes thieves weep about how kittenty their disengages are compared to that thing xD

I’d rather use my elite to win the fight…

46% crit chance.. not bad. The power is on the low side though.
It also has 76 Bleed ticks/second.
