Does anyone know what cold dmg affects the color of rare weapons
31+ mana, cold dmg based on rng of which mod spawned last on the item dictates the color (the mods that can affect the color), but that's done almost instantaneously and you cannot control a thing about it.
frost nova, nova ctc/struck
and 31+cold resist are all mods that can turn your item blue.
For shields, you can also get blue from dmg taken to mana.
Some of these may be imperative color change,
but I'm not sure... it's best to just ask/verify. Color can be verified by dropping the item or wearing it, but circlet,
tiara and diadems will require you to check on your character screen.
Some items also don't change color: 1/3 necro heads, 1/3 sorc orbs barely get a tint unless you switch to legacy
paladin shields dont get any color change.
And one extra bit of info: atker dmg (3+?) always takes over with a brown hue. Quite the poopy stat. (:
