Guild Wars 2

I mostly play WvW and at the moment I’m wearing exotic Carrion armor with krait runes. I had exotic Rabid trinkets and a back piece, and for traits I’m running total cheese; 0/0/6/6/2. Pizza and toxic crystals, P/D and shortbow with Agony and Corruption sigils.

Yes, I’m a cheese eater, but it works.

A few days ago I had a bit of a wake up moment when I realized I had a set of ascended Celestial trinkets and back piece on a character I’m not playing these days. I looked at the stats and if exotic Rabid is good, then ascended Celestial is obviously better and fills in all the other stats.

I went from feeling pretty bloody good, to feeling like Superman and now I’m thinking about upgrading my armor to ascended Celestial as well.

I could make ascended Dire, Carrion, or Celestial but I only want to make one set.

Decisions, decisions. Any thoughts?

Ascended armor stats are
Major: 329
Minor: 235
Celestial: 156

Trinkets carry nearly double the stats. I’m not sure you would notice the difference tbh. Is 156 in the lesser stats really worth it to you over the loss of nearly another 200 mainstat AND another 100 from your 2 secondaries?

I run full celestial gear on my condi warrior but of coarse keep sigil of corruption and condi dmg infusions. It feels good since I can use ALL of the stats.

Celestial gear would seem more like a crutch for a thief. Class has a high skill cap and I would recommend switching back your trinkets. Don’t let a little death discourage you ;-)
