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!

... but you wouldn't equip an Ascended Celestial piece on a pure power build, because it would be worse than an Exotic piece with Berserker, Assassins or Marauder stats. Unless you are very desperate for Agony Resistance, but in that case you should probaly change stats.

Not for a berserker build, but for any of that rare stat combinations it works just fine. Not optimal, but also not bad either.

That's kinda the point I was trying to make earlier. It very much depends on the build how much you benefit or loose from celestial stats.
