I was wearing my Fire Resist gear (+1 earrings, NQ necklace, and Ifrit's Blade). I'm not so sure I would have survived the last phase without them.
Swipes alone were taking off about 1/4 of my HP
Fire Breathe was hitting me for over half my HP
They don't hit me that hard fully geared, so that in itself tells me that stats do something. They may not be very potent, but they are far from worthless. I would hate to think how hard fire breathe would hit me if I had not put my fire resist gear on.
The point of the fight was to wear the bikini's or reindeer outfits and win, not to offer up yet another Lalafell sacrifice.
