Thanks for the responses!
lightdruid – I’m not sure I quite understand what you mean by stakitten (magi/pvt). The terms aren’t so familiar with me. xD
My main character is an elementalist.
My main question: Is it worth working towards getting celestial gear? (I hear that it has great synergy with the elementalist in particular in comparison to other classes.)
As I understand it, it is time-gated since we are only able to create 1 charged quartz crystal per day, so it would take a long time to get enough to create a set of armor or weapons. Are there better alternatives to doing this, or is celestial exotic armor one of the best choices at the moment? What about weapons – celestial ascended weapons?
I also missed out on the Bazaar of the Four Winds, so I don’t have a node in my home instance…
Any advice or input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You have a lot of versatility as to how to build your characters. It all depends on how you like to play them.
I’ve been playing as a thief (level 52 now) and I focus on precision > power > vitality/toughness traits. I like to play thief as more of a DPS type with a slight touch of survivability. I still don’t think I’m all that squishy though, as I can kite and can abuse stealth to get out of tight situations (plus I can jump back into the fight with a backstab from stealth :P).
The best thing I could tell you is to just go with your gut to start off. As you play further into the game, spec into traits or stats on gear as you feel it is needed. If you’re taking a lot of damage or getting downed often, then consider getting more vitality or toughness, etc.
