i vote no limit cold sorcs are overpowered

i also think you should be allowed to use ravens and gris helm vs them


cold sorcs are only overpowered in ur opinion bcuz of negative resis
once u get over than neg resis they are low dmg ez sorcs w/ proper stack
should limit to 400

this is coming from a mega stacker ask half his iceblasts usually give me life w/ main setup and max dmg orb gives me life

with excessive stack of that nature, ravenfrost should not be used.

i agree with that.

I agree, i was able to take more than half life from him in a couple of the duels, meaning i landed somewhere in the ball park of 20 blizz's.

A raven shouldn't be used in this case.

I wouldn't call it a glitch, and anyone who made a blizzer should have been smart enough to know that stack was a possibility with the current rules. It's not like the rules suddenly changed.

That said, there probably should be some sort of change to the rules. Characters that rely on -% res for damage can be made absolutely pointless with the current rules. A FOH pally faces this same problem. IMO if stack surpasses a certain amount, no absorb/max res/es should be allowed. The tricky part is finding a fair limit. Serious players will just go 1 under the limit and then use sorb/es.


Ty KD for your input.

And I definitely was smart enough to incorporate enough -res into my build for stackers, it's just with the exception of a couple of guys on the ladder, that I cant seem to do any damage to.

You'll see above this post a screenshot I posted of a duel vs. Gomer7 (CarpetFire) that will explain these few exceptions that have made me feel obligated to bring this subject to the attention of SickT, so that a Blizzer isn't completely worthless on the ladder.

Actually IMO the smart thing to do vs stackers is focus on pure damage and not -% res. If they're going to outstack cold mastery, you just need as much damage as possible.

And yeah I know a cold sorceress can be made useless. My esmbfb sorc tanks like 20 blizzes and I still have over 22k dmg and high life/mana. I think my sorc should be considered BM towards cold sorcs even though it uses no raven and only has 65% es.

The rules need to be adjusted to accommodate cold stack + raven/es, light stack + wisp/es, psn stack + plr.
