Is ascended celestial gear a waste? (lemmy.world)

Basically the title.

Long time player who mostly does casual open world content. Celestial gear can be pretty fun for open world content, and I like the of having only one set of armour per character. Though I believe the fact that celestial armour has toughness somewhat negates its usefulness in endgame content?

This is mostly on the context of a celestial firebrand.

Thanks for any insight!

For Open World and WvW Cele gear is really good. For organized group content it depends on the role you try to fill:

  1. Healing is possible in all gamemodes but a bit scuffed for Quickness application. In addition to that you will likely be the Tank (highest toughness), which can be overwhelming.
  2. DPS no problem in fractals and easy strikes but you will do considerable less dps than others, dont do it for Raids.
  3. Boon-DPS dont do it.
