If you had the choice of one Max UV on each piece of the Snarbolax set, what would it be? I have considered the following:

1. Max Shock / Max Shock
Shock fiends (especially develites/greavers) are perhaps my most despised strata and I think that this combination with an Owlite should completely prevent shock on block. At the moment, this is the combination I am leaning towards the most.

2. Max Freeze / Max Freeze or Shock / Poison?
Ice fiends are either a close second or tied for first (with Shock) as my most challenging mobs, especially solo (and given that I do not have a Skelly / other ice-resistant shield, the status sometime affects me even on block). One thing I am not entirely sure of, is whether a single Max Freeze is able to bring the status protection to the max possible given that it already hold some freeze protection. I know that a single Max Freeze on the Ashtail is able to increase the set's freeze protection beyond that of a full Skolver, and I *think* that it is maxed there. If that's the case, then it would be wasteful to go dual Freeze, and I would just go Shock. Or Poison. The later is generally not considered as dangerous, and if this combination can maximise protection against two types of fiend (Freeze and Poison), then it would be pretty good "value".

3. Max Fire / Max Fire
Not too sure about this combination. Vog would do as good of a job against the status, though perhaps the Snarbolax with Max Fire is more effective than Vog with Max Shadow against fire Fiends? [This comes down to status resistance vs Damage protection]. Overall, I don't think it's as interesting to me.

You may have noticed that I haven't mentioned increased defense UV. That's mainly because I seem to craft out more status defence UVs, so I do not have much experience with them. I would say that Max Normal and Max Shadow has the most interest to me. I don't think there is a huge risk of Piercing damage in stratum where I would wear the Snarbolax set, and even Elemental tends to be less of a problem (for FSC, I'd still to Vog). But I am also not sure how much two pieces of Max Shadow would bring in T3 when every hit takes away multiple bars of health anyway, avoiding getting mobbed is probably more important, and that's why I am leaning towards status protection.

What do you all think? :)
