Since they apparently don't want to change how cold mastery works on sundered monsters (probably a coding issue).

Couldn't they just cap the minimum resistance on a sundered monster to 0 (instead of -100)? I'm pretty sure there aren't many builds who could go all the way to negative res (you need -77 element pierce on gear + infinity to get to 0 already).

This way they don't change cold mastery, but cold sorcs actually deals half damage to sundered monsters (which would make some sense imo).

What do you think? Can you ask dbrunsky to make a youtube video about it because blizzard seems to listen to his advices?

2 mins I'll ask dbrunski right now

Might actually cry if they remove cold pen from cold mastery

im happy mrlama advocated for this change, huge w fosho

Finally Cold Mastery does what it should do all the Time.

It lowers Ressis of the Monster.

Dunno why peopel outrage over it.
Lightning and Fire get +% Damage of their Mastery.
Cold does not give +% Damage, it lowers Ressis. And now it does exactly that. If a monster is immune and it gets broken, cold will lower the ressis.

If it would not. Cold would be trash compare to lightning. Then they needed it to change to +% Damage like Fire and Lightning.

All the Time Lightning was the best build to go. Now its cold. whats the problem with that? That for once cold mastery comes to a point.

It's not, light and fire are stronger now:
Nothing has changed vs. nonlight immunes. You kill light immunes faster with a sundered charm and infinity than before. Before, most light immunes had 110% or 115% light resistance (120% and higher were unbreakable). Infinity brought them down to 93% or 98%. So, without -res% elements like griffon or facets you did 7% or 2% of your damage to them. With sundered charms:
1. No unbreakable light immune exist anymore.
2. You start at 95% - 17% = 78%. That's a buff no matter how you look at it. You do 22% percent of your listed damage. Now, count in easy to obtain items like crescent moon or flickering flame and you shouldn't have problems with any immune monster in the game.

People crying for even more want D2R to become D3 shitfest.

Lmfao

dbrunski lead dev

I think I know the issue.
You guys are not actually playing D2R? People saying that cold sorc is fine either own bots or buy fgs againt real life currency.

Did you know that a legit player has to farm 50h/week during 1 full month in order to have a decent enough gear for a light sorc?
It means that most legit players will be playing cold and will probably never feel the need to go lightning. Why would you pay thousands of fgs for infinity/griffon when you can be 95% as effective with crappy gear.
You also probably know that the other reason for playing lightning is farming keys, but with sunder charms that's no longer a thing, you can stay cold and farm CS/Baal/Keys/meph/andy/TZ/whatever.

But yea, you guys probably have 100+ ber runes in your stash, so you're thinking "why would anyone not do a light sorc", right?...

I wouldn’t call this an infinity nerf - more of a sunder charm nerf
