Flawless Ribbon

So I thought about getting this piece a long time ago when it first came out.. but with various reasons I decided against it

How did I miss the +30 to light and dark resist on that piece? I wonder how useful it would be on a pld/nin setup against Proto-Ultima with Citadel Buster being a light based move? Combine with a Pluto's Staff when you know the move is coming for +50 Light Resist?

Makes me wonder if Biotech weapons can be intimidated?

If your worried about spending that many coins, we can setup a few Limbus runs and get it all for you pretty quickly. Just let me know.

Hehe. Sure thing. Grab thecoug too if he still needs more coins as well.

Gallant Leggings +1 is a better thing to get first before you go for something like Flawless Ribbon in my frank opinion.

agree. and while i didn't ever have a flawless ribbon, i did try full intimidation tank setup minus that piece (hrotti, tatami, 2x demon earrings, full koenig, etc) and wasn't very impressed with the results. and that was before the adjustments to the shield system

[valeforoverdark]

well, I have all the items needed for the +1 boots, just that I haven't been needed as PLD lately, so I've not spend the coins in case I needed a different item.

So you old-timer tanks don't think the resist to status ailments is worth it on top of the enhance killer effects?

[ex_fusional145]

well, like most any tanking equip i'm sure it has a lot of functionality situationally. just saying that it doesn't seem to have as much general/overal benefits as the aforementioned pieces for those slots

While i haven't gone and done the research you have, i will have one soon enough. I think the piece is to good to pass up.
