Another way of redeeming the Wizard Slayer is outlined
here, though it remains to be seen if the Rebalanced WizardSlayer will be a component of the Kitanya mod, or of the Warrior Kitpack....probably the former, since interest in coding the latter seems to have waned. Pity.

Ummm....while your first statement is technically true (WSs do indeed have the highest
innate MR), it is also completely meaningless, since your second statement is absolutely dead wrong. "There is no way to significantly increase your MR with items that WSs cannot use," my foot. Try this: Carsomyr, Cloak of Balduran, Ring of Gaxx, Kaligun's Amulet of Magic Resistance. That's 95% Magic Resistance, all from items that Wizard Slayers are
not allowed to use. In fact, the only MR items that WSs
are allowed to use look like crap in comparison: Shield of the Lost, Adamantine Chain+3, Sword of Balduran, and finally Enkidu's Plate, which isn't crap but you've got one heck of a long wait to get to it.
In my book, any "solution" to the problem of the Wizard Slayer that does
not include correcting the items is nothing but a half-baked idea.
