Doesn’t really change for cold builds except supply and demand early ladder and I suspect fire/lightning will dominate late game…

Cold sorc pre patch 2.5 = best affordable early mf character
Cold sorc after patch 2.5 = best affordable early mf character for 2 weeks longer

Edit:
Anyways I’m excited for the new ladder
Have fun everyone

what a repulsive sig. Should pay people for having looked at it.

cmoon coming in hot

Whoa that's a little much. Not everyone wants to play a cold sorc.

im i missing something because conviction always been 1/5 effective against immune monsters, just wondering how Infinity is "nerfed" in this case

The nerf is that the benefits are only marginal compared to what it was before, and it doesn't address that cold is infinitely better for how Cold Mastery inherently lowers resistances without the need of 2 Ber Runes/CM still working at full effect.

I still think my idea I came up with was the best idea suggested thus far, and that is to fix resistances to 95% and remove the penalty/adjust it to all resistances.

You’re correct, it’s a nerf in the sense of the conviction previously working at full effect since the enemies were no longer immune. Still a buff overall just relatively minor -17 vs -85

The nerf is also within the fact that you can just Sunder Charm instead of Infinity, and using both is overly expensive for just -17 resistances. If Facets, Griffons, and Cmoon work at full effect, you'd be better off spending the money on those items instead.

Infinity may be better than Sunder cause of the lack of negative resistances, so it will then come down to what is more expensive and if you can tank the negative resistances.

Or just use Cold, because Cold is Superior in all ways at this point.

cry about it

Is infinity still worth it for non sorc ele builds like Javazon?
I was working towards making one for my merc but I don't understand these new mechanics enough to decide whether it's a good idea anymore.
