Great Obsidian or Great Spuds?

Dawn. Golden rays pierced through the dusky blue of the early morning. A slight breeze sent ripples across the waters, gently rocking the ships that lined the horizon. Wheelton gazed upon the wide expanse of blue that lays before him, a magnificant view that he enjoyed each morning as he stands guard on the towers that spiral high into the sky.

Looking down, he watches as the streets of Byron came to life. Merchants hustled across the open plaza as the sailors arouse from their drunken revelry.

"You never tire of your duties do you," Rafael said as he came up beside Wheelton and leaned over the parapet to take in the view.

"Ah Rafael, what brings you here so early in the day?" Wheelton asked.
"Been wondering about what rumins to use to enchant my mates' weapons with." Rafael answered. " They just dump their weaponry and expect me to enchant them to perfection ~.~"
"Its no easy choice indeed ^^" Wheelton grinned,
Lute - Great Obsidian (stance has no inbuilt pene, even if add great spud, will be canceled by immunity defence)
Rod - Great Spudomene (lowers magical res for better chances at debuff)
Staff/Bracelets/Bishops - Great Obsidians (when used in Madness stance)
"Yea, I knew that. Its the melee stuff that I am mulling over" Rafael replied.
"Ah yes, well, for

Greatswords/Polearms/Crescent/Tonfa -put great obs for atk/race wpns to use in raids and bypass any immunity defence, for pvp, will need Great Spuds if against chars with eva but if fighting those with block, Great Obs is better since the skills mostly ignore block already and will bypass immunity defence.

Javelin/Rapier - they mostly for pvp and thus will need Great Spuds if fighting against chars with block but if fighting those with eva, using Great Obs will bypass their immunity defence and give greater damage.

Crossbows-pump great spuds since assasins hits 100+ penetrations, high enough to overcome most ppl/boss immunity defences and have enough leftover to cancel all eva/block. Assasins will love you for doing that."

Rifles, Bayonets, are used mostly on Raid bosses which may have some immunity and relies on skills to exert damage, so Great Obs will bypass immunity defences and hit hard.

"o.O, go on, I'm all ears!" Rafael perked up.

"Hmm, as for dps weapons like sabres, shotguns and pistols, its an even bet, but since they are used more on mobs which seldom have immunities and when used on raids, depends on status multipliers, I'd go for spuds for better general performance and status hits"

Taking a breathe of seabreeze, Wheelton continued,
"As for armors, its pretty straight forward. Put great spuds on pvp armors, they will provide a basic amount of immunity to offset the effects of most expert stances. For pve armors, great obs will be much better as they will be able to reduce damage whether or not the mobs/bosses are applying penetration attacks."

"Sounds like a game plan" grinned Rafael, "will get to it right away! Enjoy your mornin and tks!"
