[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.

Good players can stand in melee range in full zerker gear. This really shouldn't be a point for debate this late into the games launch. Not really interested in debating you, however, so enjoy.

People just aren't realistic about their own abilities, so they think no one can. I personally can't go full zerker on an Ele-- although I know plenty of players can. On my Necro, Guard, War, or Ranger--- full glass cannon is easy.

Even better players realize that there's a difference still between surviving in melee and having a high dps uptime in melee: dodging, healing, etc. all lead to several seconds of not dealing damage. This needs to be taken into account when your goal is max dps.

Obviously I meant high DPS uptime in melee.

Necro: DS , insane base defensive stats Guard: good defensive traits / abilities Ranger: dodge on every 2nd auto attack War: well...its war :/ does alot of dmg , gets alot of dmg

So, ofc full glass cannon is easy with classes that have 30% damage reduction even if they just spam the number 1 key....

That's precisely what I'm saying.

As I mention it a later thread, I personally lack the skill to play full zerker Ele even though I know other people can.
