Hi, I just have a few intertwined questions:

First, what is the best UV for the Snarbolax Coat for an all around purpose? Was thinking possibly normal def

Second, what is the best think to purchase with Grim sparks? I was thinking high curse resist....

3rd, would the Gran Faust's charge attack be useful with high CTR, medium curse resist (On snarb coat) and the 100 token trinket from brinks?

Thanks in advance!

Extra Credit: whats the best sword trinket :P?

.....?

I'm not too sure, seeing as I'm just a normal happy-go-lucky T2 player, but....

Should this be in The Arsenal?

Just a thought.

1) Triple UV: Max piercing,

1) Triple UV: Max piercing, elemental, and fire. It's impossible to be "all around" with just one UV. Normal will cover the most amount of damage types you encounter, but you will still be vulnerable to everything else that's not shadow. Choose whichever you get hit by most (ie jelly spikes, gun puppies, howlitzers, lag spikes into traps) and decide with that.

2) For selling? Mats like Philoso Feather, Silverweave, Trojan Horseshoes, Mug of Misery. Best off just saving them for whatever mats you need. The trinkets require you to unbind them to sell which costs 4000 ce, and no one is going to pay for that. If you plan on using the trinket yourself, you're better off going for the weapon trinkets instead.

3) Resists reduce the duration of curse. You will not be seeing less self-inflicted curses. There is reason to believe that a really large amount of curse resists will reduce the rate and damage of being cursed, but that won't be happening with just those two items you have: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Curse

The GF charge attack is always fun and powerful, but you will always be in risk of cursing yourself. If you insist on using the charge, just carry 4 weapons in case it happens. And you're better off with an attack speed UV rather than a CTR.

EC: Depends on what you're missing. Aim for max attack speed and max damage with your gear. For example: Full snarby set + barb shield + 2 sword attack speed trinkets + medium asi UVs on all your swords.

I bought that 5* curse thing.

I bought that 5* curse thing. I did receive less damage when attacking cursed, but this pendant alone won't do much. I'd rather go for a defense/damage slot.

CTR reduction trinket is nice

CTR reduction trinket is nice if your Levi or similar slow sword is already UV'd for damage. I use a damage and a CTR trinket and cannot speak for the ASI trinket.
