I am currently gathering the loot items to have a complete set of interwoven RIS made and had a couple questions about using krayt scales as the enhancer in havinginterwovenRIS segments made.By using krayt scales it will move all the protection from the base eff. to special protection which is not sliceable, but maxes out at 80%. What kind of stats on the scaleswouldbeneeded to be able to hit the max of80% special protection for eachof the damagetypes? If this is possible I think a really nice set ofRIS could be made. You would be able to plug up 2 of the vulnerablities leaving only LS. Acid isone of the special protections on the scales and you coulduse 3 stun layersto add stun to the special protection as well.Also since there would be no base eff. you could use some nice red cubes to lower the encumbrence. Any thoughts?


Thank you,


Shammus

i wouldnt worry about stun.... you use a psg and its fixed.. you should concentrate on gettin 80 kin as well which takes 2 layers, to easily get the 80 kin and a lot of base, usually around 7-8 total from those two layers.. the last layer, you put a high NS layer in, since the krayt scale , when bumping them up to 80 , checks what the base is, then adds base+value on the scale to get the special protect value (hopefully 80)

so i would go krayt scales of 6 % on all the resists at least, one kin maxed layer, one base maxed kin layer with 6% kin , one NS layer of 6 or 7, krayt scale, and a killer red cube... or even a green cube of 10k or more...

My opinion is I wouldn't even consider it unless the scales had at least 30% acid protection, and even then I'd think about it
