Did the pairing of typed defense incl. resistance?

That's correct. The change only affected defense typing.

Yes, rather inconsistent. Maybe they will look at is Soon™, now that they got around to fixing some of the name misspellings/inconsistencies.

there are actually some paired resistance set bonuses around
They come in at half the base value of the single types though.

Pairing resistance types across the board, like how defense types were paired, would require a modicum of parity between resistance and defense bonuses in the IO system. There is but one rule in the IO system with this regard: resistance shall get the shaft. Always the shaft.
So thus, it didn't happen and probably never will.
When the Devs paired up typed defense, they matched Energy and Negative Energy, so that things that give Neg Energy defense now also give (plain old) Energy defense.
But I'm guessing they did not link these resistance types together for anything other than typed defense set bonuses, right? So sets that give Neg Energy resistance don't include Energy resistance now, right? Scirocco's Dervish set, for example, has always given 3.13% Negative Energy Resistance. It doesn't give any regular energy resistance?
