Along with its very nice AC bonus, wearing it occasionally provides you with near-universal elemental damage resistance. Beyond the bragging rights involved in killing Tiamat, it can be useful to have a single item that can give you a bit of extra resistance to any sort of attack, but try to avoid relying on its occasional resistances when facing serious elemental threats. Taking multiple unresisted attacks from an orb of fire means that a lot of damage is getting through.
