But really, I just wish people would learn early on not to use their knockbacks as a rule, and then later adding the exceptions "except on unmovable mobs or when nobody else can interrupt a wipe-level attack". Rules first, exceptions later.
You mean Obey, and yes, Sic Carbuncle/Garuda is more harmful than Obey Carbuncle/Garuda.
