What’s the preferred stat for a cold sunder? Returning after a break and trying to refresh myself on what’s the go to for cold sunder because I know cold mastery works differently than the other elements. Thanks for any info.

-res for anything elemental even with cold mastery. Plus dmg does not do much really. This if you are going for a renewed cold sunder

-res even still. -res is just much much stronger than +damage in a majority of builds.

Good to know, I’m currently around -220 enemy res without the sunder between cold mastery (plus skills) and a facet and frost jewel.

- resist for every one but warlock because you get free pet with curse which is -100%

What usually slows you down on a cold sorc is immunes.
And with cold mastery taking a 1/5 hit. So let's say you get -200% from CM that is is only -40%.

-res
