what is my -res
Cold Sunder
-200 cold mastery ( at 1/5 this should be -40? )
-5 facet ( -5 since item )
no infinity
sometimes merc casts 12 lower resist.
so I should have 95 on cold immunes with sunder.
-45 on cold immunes with cold mastery and x1 facet = 50 resists remaining on cold immunes.
if lower resist casts that is also 1/5 so lvl12 is -58 = 11
so if lower resist procs then cold immunes are at 39 cold res.
now If I were to add infinity -85 at 1/5 = -17 so 39-17 = 22 cold res IF also lower res proc on mobs.
It is literally impossible to get negative cold res without a doom axe that has 0 cast rate on it.... I'm not making that just for a cold sorc xD
lets say we did. Before infinity and lower res.
-40 minimum on doom axe = 95 to 55 cold immune mob resist.
now lets add the -45 with cold master and x1 facet = 55 to 10 cold immune mob resist.
OK now lets add lower res and infinity = 10 to -12 (if we had a perfect doom we could get -32)
so it turns out that cold sorc maximum negative resist on cold immunes are -32 (without extra facets, only x1 facet)
So much work for so little reward due to blizzards player punishments.
looks like possible weapons to hold Doom is DOUBLE AXE 5 socket max
