What Do the Attributes Affect and Which is Most Useful?

[Raikeran]

I've been collecting a lot of unknown attrib orbs and I recently found 10 dark elements. I was going to use them on one of my Sparring weps, then I started wondering as to what each element does exactly. Also, which element is the least useful in most situations?

as for the orbs, just read the description.

Fire, Water, Wind and Dark work best in most situations. Most people stack resistance against them though.

Nature is meh.

Light is horrible unless you know how to use it properly.

The first three are Status Ailments. If the enemy has high resistance, the effectiveness of the damage over time will be lowered (Capping the resistance to any element nullifies it).

Fire element: Damages the enemy over time, can kill them. As an orb, it damages enemies and inflicts them with fire.
Water Element: Lowers Defense, lowers Movement Speed. As an orb, it damages enemies and freezes them.
Nature Element: Damages the enemy over time, lowers Attack Speed, can kill. As an orb, it damages enemies and inflicts poison.

The rest of the elements attributed on weapons don't inflict status ailments, but work as an activation type for your next attack.

Wind Element: Has a chance for the next attack to deal full damage (Nullifies the enemies defense). As an orb, it greatly reduces enemy defense.
Dark Element: Has a chance for the next attack to steal HP and Mana (In exchange of lowering your attack power for that attack). As an orb, it causes Aging ailment (Lower defense, attack power... I feel like I'm missing something else).
Light Element: Has a chance to Petrify the enemy. Look at it as giving enemy Super Armor but having them stuck there to attack in your favor (Causes knockdown in PvP, resets knockdown counter to enemies in PvE). As an orb, it heals allies over time.

Anyone else is welcome to correct me if I have something incorrect.

That's until KoG dedides to reduce its superarmor rating in NA.
