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!

    I’d say it is pretty useful, when you are playing casually. Easy for beginners, because of the survivability and fits almost every build. The downside is obviously that its far from optimal for any spec. You are not a good healer, have not that much boon umtime and your power/condi dps are not good.

    Personally I would not build it, but wouldn’t change stats if I get a piece for free.

      … 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.
