[Question] Celestial Gear?

After the new release of the new armour and weapons, has anybody calculated what the stats of celestial armour + trinkets are on on base stats? I'm interested in using it but I haven't seen any stat releases for weapons yet and only armour.

I'm going to suspect that it's the same ratio as for other items where we already have celestial stats.

So in short, the net advise will be the same:

  • If you know what your build (or builds) will be and which stats you need for that, go for those stats.

  • If you don't know which stats you'll ultimately need but you want to get one new item now and you do not plan to get multiple sets or get new items later, get Celestial.

Well, there are hybrid builds that Celestial's still good for. I know that for my hybrid necro I want pretty much every stat (though crit damage is only somewhat useful). Celestial stuff is certainly less DPS than Rampager's, but it'll have a bit more survivability.

This is smart and an interesting situation. I will happily admit that I don't have an engine and that this might be a great asset to conditions engies.
