Resistances and Absorb:if your cold resist exceeds 400, you may not wear a ravenfrost...even if none of your gear includes a stack item.
Resistances and Absorb Exceptions:Vs Cold Sorcs: If you use the allowed 1 stack item (normally wizspike) you may not use cold absorb or max resistances.
The mistake was that originally when I spoke with TJZRocKer about this a long while ago He clarified to me (and what I went with) that you are allowed to use a raven if your cold resist does not exceed 400... However in noticing duels and also comparitively via d2pk and d2items skill tree setup and going through a comprehensive test phase I've determined that this needed to be clarified and fixed...
So essentially This is how it goes In regards to vs cold...
1) If you have
over 400 cold res with or without a stack resist item than you
can not use any Sorb or Max Resist Gear...
2) If you have a Stack Item but do not obtain
over400 cold resists than you still
may not use any Sorb or Max Resist Gear...
3) If you have
under 400 cold res and no Stack Resist Item than you
can use Sorb or Max Resist Gear...
That is all Happy Gaming...
