hehehe +2 to a resistance is meaningless ;) The only time I worry about
+resist on an item is if it's +5 or more. And even then I will usually only
worry about it if I'm planning to fight something that I need that
resistance for (VOX, Naggy etc). Other than that my resistance gear stays
in the bank. I've found that AC is more important, by far, than Resists
unless the resists are either AMAZING (+5 or more to all or +5 or more to
one for certain specific occasions)
Just my take though. I banked my lambent boots as soon as I got singing
steel. Pluss it's nice to be getting out of "All blue". I'm hoping to get
Mithril legs on my next FG run so that I can bank my greeves as well. I
doubt I'll ever get singing steel greaves considering who/what drops them
I'd love to have them even though their effect is silly.
