So my thinking on the matter is..

Breaking Cold resists in areas like Nalth etc.. Clearly you wont be going max block (too low/too much str invested) but an easy way to break res. and nice slow +cold res.

Also noted it will make 200fcr pretty much impossible unless wiz? but yeah idk just a thought.

you can use a lower resist charges wand on switch instead, but I doubt even infinity + lower res would be enough to break immunity

I thought of this build on an act 3 merc but found that the strength was way too high unless he got all pure +str gear..

could be a good concept if sum1 got it right

I'd say it's really not worth it given the strength investment, and the fact that getting hit as a sorc is not really a thing :p Not to mention you'd be giving up a Spirit shield for a one in ten chance to proc Lower Resist, which in most cases won't break a cold immunity.

Oh and also "slows target by x%" is only applied on physical attacks!

You can shop a wand with level 3 Lower Resist charges with a character of level 94+ :)

It does stack, it just isnt enough.
Since you shouldnt be hit at all, this shield is garbage.

Hmmm i think this is actually a really good idea if it can work!!

Thanks for the idea, going to see what i can come up with. I already did the math in my head just now and seems possible with Enig. +STR helm and sword. Now the only issue would be is if he can survive.
