Default Re: Fire Plate vs Copper Plate vs...

As was already said, lightning resistance is much more difficult to get than fire resistance. Besides, want cheap fire resistance, why not use Dragon Helmet? It gives 100% fire resistance, or it should, unless it has been downgraded to partial only, which can make it an attractive choice to free up a miscellaneous or hand slot for something more useful.

If copper plate only gave partial SR, it'd be almost completely worthless.

It's 50% now=) Still, the flame blasts you shoot are very nice, and it gives +1 protection too, at no encumbrance or defence penalty.

Just checked the MIQR, the helmet only gives 50% FR.

Seems ok to me.

The Copper Plate needs 100% to prevent it from being a suicide device.

Ring of Tamed Lightning is still good for anyone who wants shock protection but better body armor, and there are many better body armors.
