Minstrel insignia is extremely expensive, and imo best option - buy set from fractal or pvp vendor. you can get 2 free sets of ascended armor from the envoy armor collections vol 1 and 2. If you want budget gear, you can run exotic Nomads with Platinum dubloons to compensate for concentration.Its worse than sinister and viper. It has ferocity, which to work need crt chance, with full ascended set u have like 34% because precision on grievers is secondary stat. Condi weapon skills have low power coefficients. Its just not effective.Craft 2 runes of trapper and do twilight arbor to buy 4 runes of nightmare for tokensFor weapons a few are available on the Trading Post and as far as I know, it is a selectable stat on all profession-specific weapons for Elementalist from achievements. The true power of Celestial is on trinkets only (which is half your stats), combined with various four-stat gears, acting as a base to weak stats. No ascended armor is really a must have in wvw, unless youre into GvG or care about minmaxing stats. I agree with the previous commenters, make exotic armor (or, even better, just run some reward tracks which have selectable stat armors such as legacy, triumphant, crystal desert-crystal desert cannot be salvaged tho) and experiment with those. Viper's insignias (~12g each at the moment, 73 for six), Linseed oil (5.5g per armor piece, 33 total), various mats for component pieces (17g, mostly leather costs). Ascended Dire costs ~458, plus the insignias (73g again) and ecto (~10g) for swapping to Viper is about 540g in total. So that comes to about 22% of the cost for exotics, even if BbFK.
