Storm dragon scales are a heavy suit of armour that provides electricity resistance.
This item has a 33% chance to to generate when you slay a storm dragon. Bai Suzhen has the same chance to drop an enchanted storm dragon scales.
Desirability
Storm dragon scales offer the same protection as plate armour, with slightly lower encumbrance. However, since they are usually found late in the game, they are in a tight position:
- Plate armour has slightly more encumbrance, and no rElec, but it's much more common: you can find and enchant one earlier. Also, you're more likely to find an artefact plate armour.
- For heavy armor users, golden dragon scales can be found around the same time, and offer three resistances instead of one.
- Casters and ranged weapon users will usually want a lighter set of dragon scales for their lower encumbrance.
However, electricity resistance is moderately rare. For those who cannot get rElec easily, and can afford the encumbrance, a set of storm dragon scales can be a strong option. Having rElec is most useful in areas like Zot, where electric damage is commonplace.
