Guild Wars 2

i’m very nub with armor sets still o.o

So i purchased some Valkyrie lvl 80 exotic armor (power/vit/3% crit dmg) and equipped it over my Explorer Noble legs (power/prec/+3% magic find.. with an Opal orb in it)

My base crit % went down 3% (from 31% to 28%) with the Valk legs on.

I have one other explorer piece currently equipped.. is there a set bonus to Explorer set that i am missing (ie 3% crit if you wear two pieces)? I’ve been googling but dont see the set bonuses for Explorer Noble set..

Maybe the +14 Precision from the Opal Orb caused the loss in crit?

You replaced a piece of armor that has crit (precision), with a piece of armor that has no crit. Therefore, your crit went down.

Crit Damage is not the same thing as Crit Chance. A successful Crit (determined by crit chance) does (50crit damage)% damage. At level 80, every 21 precision above base grants 1% extra crit chance.
