I always "waste" 1 pt in coldmastery aswell and usually works good enough. Not sure if this even helps tho :P

"Cold Lengths are reduced by 1/2 in Nightmare, and 3/4 in Hell difficulty." http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/sorceress-cold.shtml

Frost nova lvl 6(spirit, lore and viper, +1 amu) has 13 seconds so 6.5 in nightmare and 3.25 in hell which should be sufficient.


Hope you find vipermagi, lum and maybe a soj :)


already got 4 IO ... so i could make memory.. working on splendor shield + memory.. and il farm some more andy i guess but i will focus on a really tanky merc before going hell and that is not anytime soon.. i will try to not screw that character

Soj and frosties would be so cool yeah :blush:

Love this WT, build seems so fun, but must be hard.

Edit: never played full ES synergized.... works well?

cold mastery only reduces the cold res of a monster, so it's kinda pointless to waste a point in it if you only use frost nova to slow monsters down as it won't increase cold duration

took a big hit from frost nova.. those cold enchanted doesnt get absorbed my the mana shield.... i dont get it.. someone care to elaborate?


Cold damage is absorbed by ES like any damage except poison. However you should know that ES always takes 100% of the damage; so when you reach 95% es resists are kinda useless... Kinda because if you have 300 life, 5% of the dmg taken can still be a good part of your life bulb.

I've made a 1.13 ES/nova sorc on bnet, it's now level 99, nova level 52-ish and it's incredibly efficient, even with 8 players in game (static is more efficient that nova at the beginning, then nova).

Yes i know about the resist and energy shield % work... but it just looked like i was taking alot more dmg from those cold enchanced effects.. i just made a few test and it doesn't effect life more after all
