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!
