1. Question does cold mastery matter and work in PVP?
with the whole 1/5 nerf to the cold sorc how well does it work and is it worth investing into it.

2. Question 2 to my understanding -% Enemy Cold Resistance doesnt work or do it?
I would like a experts to answer because everyone says it works but from testing it didnt work.
EXAMPLE *Charged Strike Amazon with -90? 2 shots 6K barb with no shield and a 0 lighting doesnt 2 shots the barb. 0% difference.

3. Anyone a sorc expert who can help me build a badass PVP sorc. please and thank you

i'm not sure i understand your first sentence but i believe effective resistances are capped to -100 (aka double damage), so if you apply -200 to a 50 res or to a 100 res character the actual damage won't change (still -100 actual res), but if you apply -200 to a 250 res character, 50 res will stay in effect

that's the point of stacking resistances against cold sorc, if you stack cold res up to like 500 blizz sorc won't do much to you because actual (tooltip) damage is low and needs -res to be effective

Cold Mastery works in PvP to it's full effect. However, only losers play Blizz sorcs in PvP
