Guild Wars 2

Someone mind explaining why i would ever want to get the explorer’s exalted set over the knight’s exalted set?

As you can see…

explorer’s exalted masque:
73 defense, 32 power, 32 precision

knight’s exalted masque:
73 defense, 32 power, 32 precision, 45 toughness

this goes on for every piece. everything is the same, but the knight’s set also has toughness.

so why ever choose the explorer’s?

It would seem that the site you’ve linked isn’t showing the 3% MF that is on the exotic Explorer’s gear. That is why you’d go for it over the Knight’s gear.

Edit: Odd. The GW database isn’t showing it either, just look up the actual insignia, it shows that the Explorer gives power, precision, and magic find.
