Howdy y'all!
Been really diving into leveling Celestial DPS and felt it really need to hold it's own in DPS as well as it does in healing. Of course keeping the unique factors within game engine capability, I'm allowing it to still be cherry picked if needed and still mesh with other Mystical sets more than currently exists.
First hand, the goal of this Celestial Rework is to be the absolute beacon of light it should, primarily applying enchantments as opposed to Darkness's Mental states, Arcane Sorcery's Curses, and Infernal's various poisons, while still keeping it's identity as a very strong on demand healer with the highest raw healing. Additionally, to provide it being the Non-DoT dependent powerset as much it can be HoT compared to the rest of the Mystic power tree. With the options here, it still allows for it to be another set that many freeforms can cherry pick from and ATs that I've reworked down below to still hold their own plenty.
Starting with the buffs/debuffs of the set before going to the changed powers, and finally the new powers. Lastly, you will see things like [Minor], [Moderate]. and [major], which are respectively at base level 40 without buffs for damage numbers -- less than a value of 500 for Minor, 600-900 for Moderate, and 1000+ for Major.
Illumination - Has no change of it applying Mend to allies attacking illuminated targets, and allies recieving additional healing while under illumination. However, the Illumination debuff/buff needs to have a priority system based on higher presence OR Highest Bonus Healing core stat strictly.
Mend - has no change, but should inherit the illumination's higher Presence priority.
Light Everlasting - Has no change than what currently exists in game.
New Buff - Purified - Grants Aegis to allies, Increasing Ally's damage resistance by 10% for 16 seconds.
New Debuff - Purity - Applies Purity to enemy targets for 16 seconds, When dealing Paranormal Damage to targets affected by Purity, deal additional [Minor] Dimensional Damage and [Minor] Dimensional Damage to other targets within 10ft. This occurs every 1 second. Purity also counts as a curse.

==============
As you've read this, this is meant to really take what exists and make more out of it instead of outright creating too many things brand new and take up resources. This also aims to keep server strain in mind with dealing damage to targets.

1. Change Conduit's animation to be in line with other maintains in that you can move. Right now it's not worth taking as you get squished by Graviturd.
2. To be honest MOST celestial powers are full charges or whatever that'll just kill you either by making you unable to move or even making you held or knocked before you can even get them out
3. A DPS ult that's in line with other dps ults
4. An AOE maintain that lets you move around and that has the option to drag enemies together.
