Couldn't you make the same argument for the Copper Plate, then?

Nihongo ga chotto heta desu Nihonjin to nihongo wa okashii desu... so omoimasu.

But on topic, yes, copper plate renders the ring worthless, in most cases. If the ring gave +1 precision or the plate gave 75% resistance, that might be a different matter...

copper plate gives extra encumbrance, so for the mage ring may be a better choice especially with a rainbow armor which is a better use for armor slot.

As was already said, lightning resistance is much more difficult to get than fire resistance. Besides, want cheap fire resistance, why not use Dragon Helmet? It gives 100% fire resistance, or it should, unless it has been downgraded to partial only, which can make it an attractive choice to free up a miscellaneous or hand slot for something more useful.

If copper plate only gave partial SR, it'd be almost completely worthless.

It's 50% now=) Still, the flame blasts you shoot are very nice, and it gives +1 protection too, at no encumbrance or defence penalty.

Just checked the MIQR, the helmet only gives 50% FR.
