Sounds sensible. Yet I still say this effect should be recorded somewhere, possibly where it says "Phaseshift set [1/2]". Some kind of update when you collect both pieces?
2birds1stone:
I thought it actually increased resistance; I recall reading somewhere that Onyx-modded phaseshift armour in conjunction with boots renders you permanently immune to Barons'/Hell-Knights' acid attacks, though I can't immediately track down source, nor is it something I've tested.

Yep. That's what happens in the set completion code.
GinDiamond:
Instead of a flag set to "floating", from my understanding, your resistance to fire and acid on your feet is increased to 100%. Damage to armor is calculated by its HP versus its resistances. Resistances are accounted for first (from the Mechanics section of the wiki), and THEN the HP is calculated. So, because you actually have 100% resistance to acid/lava on your feet (and I believe you can see this on a mortem), it blocks all damage before it does anything to the HP.
I also believe you can exercise this fact by Onyx-modding phaseshift armor (or at least doing something like a Nano mod on it) and you're pretty much invincible vs the elements.

actually quite contradicts your suggestion, and would also explain why the resistances don't show up.
Additionally:

As seen in my original post, you're already invincible to the elements (on your feet at least) without using O or N mods. Your remark did shed new light on the wiki entry though, and now I realize the trick lies within the word 'indefinitely'. So the last line
--- Quote ---Can be exploited if one were to onyx mod the armor and then wear the boots at 100%, thus one would be impermeable to any sort of liquid attack indefinitely.

still actually only replies to resistances on your feet, but besides that, it's a bit redundant, isn't it? Of course an Onyx mod adds the 'indefinitely' factor, because that's what Onyx mods do.
