Krayt scales move everything but restraint to special protection, which means it can't be sliced. I'll probably never slice any RIS I make, but it's all about perceived value.

If a 12 point armor smith with the interwoven RIS segments used 2 high quality shnarnaff plates(generic items upgrade that increases base, heat, acid and cold defense) and a stun layer, would that create RIS armor worth using?

On the sharnaff plating, you'll only be able to use one, and the sharnaff plating enhancer (not the plating segments) does not add to the base.

Personally, I'm shooting for interwoven + janta hide + yellow cube + triple kinetic layers when/if I loot my next GDK scale. A lot of folks on the forums seem to be using nightsister layers and shards, and red cubes for interwoven to get HAM down, but noone on my server cares about HAM. They're only impressed with base resists, regardless of whether or not it takes buffs, food, and spice to even fit into the stuff. If you were concerned about the acid and stun vunerabilites then you could use those layers.

What about using Krayt Scales instead of Janta Hide?

People use NS layers on RIS as you can get them with way higher base resists than kinetic or any crafted layers, plus negative encumberance. Pretty much all the pieces I've done are triple NS layered, yellow geo cube with 3-5% resists, and then a janta hide or NS shard.

I was able to make these leggings with the following components:

3, 7% Nightsister Layers

1, 3% Janta Hide

1, 4% Yellow Geo Cube

Granted they are pretty useless in PvP, but I dont see RIS ever really usable in pvp without giving it no vulnerabilties. It costs to much to do experimenting on.
