So alot of people have come to me and said,
"Disrep, why are you a fucking ******? Serpentis is trash you will never get far, no wonder you were irrelevent!"
And at first I didnt really care, but then i got whispers of people actually asking if i was just bullshitting. So today, we will explore to see if disrep actually is ******ed! This calculation is ment for serpentis mage set, i have no clue about other sets.
This also is comparing 2 piece obsidian helm, and body, with the rest serpentis, vs full t4 obsidian gear with the grimgast belt and warrior medals sleeves.
So before we do this, lets get some stats up.
Strength: Increases melee attack +0.2 per point, parry rate, melee accuracy, and melee/ranged block rate.
Intelligence: Increases magic attack +0.2 per point, max mana, magic accuracy, magic/ranged evasion, and magic/ranged critical rates.
Agility: Increases ranged attack +0.2 per point, ranged accuracy, melee/ranged evasion, melee/ranged critical rates.
Spirit: Increases healing power +0.2 per point, magic defense +1 per point, health/mana regen, and all accuracy.
Stamina: Increases max health + 12 per point, and parry
Every account at level 55 has 158 of all stats with no gear on, along with 10k health built in.

So Which is Better?
By looking at flat numbers alone, pixing 5 piece serp with 2 piece obsidian does indeed have higher magic attack, but only by a small amount. In terms of health, full obsidian would be serpentis, dispite serpentis having a larger stamina pool. On top of this, full obsidian does have more defense and magic defense.
With this being said, these calculations also do not factor in a few things, such as the gr belt active+toughness and the 500 warrior medal active+toughness. It also does not include the crit damage increase you get from the gloves, and the cast time increase from the boots. If you try to replace serpentis with a gr belt, or warrior medal sleeves, you break the 5th set passive you get from serp, dropping your magic attack by 15. On top of all of this, having serpentis does not allow you to upgrade those particular pieces even more, therefore slightly gimping you in progressing.
On the flip side of all of this, getting serpentis divine can cost a hell of alot less then getting full t4 divine, especially since the pieces are more or less free to get. On top of this, it is much less time consuming to get serp then to farm for the belt and sleeves.
So basically you are an idiot
Yes and no. I feel getting 2 piece obsidian and 5 piece serp actually wasn't that bad of an idea. I got t4 armor that was essentially equivalent without dropping so much money on obsidian. ON TOP OF THIS, getting that 5 piece serp is a great place holder, which is the main reason why i did it. When i started making my serp pieces divine, this was before getting an anthalon set was completely out of reach for the west side. I made these pieces in order to be tanky enough not to die too quickly, without dropping so much money on obsidian pieces when im just going to replace them with anthalon pieces later on down the road. Yes you can argue, "just re sell them later and you get your money back", but at the same time, the money i saved was put forward to attempting to better the guild I was running at the time. Unfortunately rng is shit and i only pooped out shitty ship parts.
This also serves as a good new player set that wants to be able to compete at a decent level without dropping so much money on gear they might not like.
If you want to see all of this also backed up by a gear calc guide, here it is.

TLDR
Serp and t4 are basically the same, and there's the math to prove it. If you are ok with t4 shit, get 5 piece serp. If not, go obsidian all the way.
