I was thinking that but wasnt too sure how the +14 on the other would stack up in synergy
the 14% just add up to the 2xx or 3xx that you have on a sorc. So this value doesn't really matter.
Let's say an enemy has 50 light res. You deal 10k dmg, so he receives 5k after calculations.
With -15% = 35 light res: You deal 6.5k dmg
With -20% = 30 light res: You deal 7k dmg
This means your total dmg goes up by almost 10% just from those 5% difference.
The higher the enemy light res, the stronger the effect of -%res is.
You can compare it with a +5% light dmg increase:
lvl 20 light mastery gives +278%
10k dmg + 278% = 37,8k
10k dmg + 283% = 38,3k
That's about 1.5% increase of total damage output.
On a javazon it's kind of different, but you still get more value from the -5% res than from +1% light dmg in every situation
