kohlrak: That could be interesting. Farm res parts then make a bunch of sets, then whatever seems to be majority you just equip that set before the boss appears?

Pityesz: When the NPCs are using elemental weapons normal defense become useless because of the armor ignoring effect of the essences. It is not necessary to have high resistance, only tank builds depend on that alone.
Wait, so does defense work when they aren't using elemental weapons? I thought you said defense never works to begin with (or, rather, is inconsequential).

But to clarify my original question above, should i be trying to get top elemental resistance for every element, then make sets out of those, start a session, then after i kill about 10 pirates, equip whatever set i got about 6 of the matching element?

Maybe there is a minimal armor effect but as I tried to calculate above there is too much armor piercing from abilities. The resistance however a working defense against elemental attacks so you will have effective defense against elemental damage. But physical damage like mortar or explosive/shredding ammo will still cause full damage.

Well, time to get working on grabbing that blimp, then.
