Description
Passive - Increases the damage of your cold attacks by piercing enemies' resistances to cold.
Key details
- Player vs Player - This will cut other Player's Cold Resistances, even when maxed.
- Cold Mastery will only lower the resistance of monsters that are hit by the Sorceress, this bonus cannot be shared with party members.
- Cold Mastery will not work against monsters that are Immune to Cold.
- So even if you have Enemy Resistance -105%, they will still be Cold Immune and you will still be unable to damage them.
- So what's the point of 100%+ you might ask?
- Well if they are not Cold Immune, it will lower their Cold Resistance down below 0% which essentially means they will take more damage.
- It is just like when you have negative resistances in Nightmare/Hell difficulty.
- If a target has 75% Cold Resistance and you use Skill Level 1 Cold Mastery, the target's resistance will be 75% - 20% = 55%.
D2Emu Tips
- Cold Resistance cannot be lower than -100% at any given time.
- Cold Mastery Damage Multiplier Table (i.e. 75% opponent resists = 1/4th damage).
- Cold Mastery only works at 1/5 effectiveness against sundered monsters.
