It's been tested multiple times. My guess is that Weaken has a better effect in PvM because monster damage is probably just a flat damage making it work better. You can find consistent results on Google by just searching Weakn D2 PVP.

Would make sense it works like that. Since most of d2 functionality is additive or subtracts. Not multiplicative

True, I edited the guide to it's original 39% DR

Nice build, need to try it in pvp 😁

ES is banned in most tourneys, most you can do is 80% es

Nice to see this finally posted!

Those are some great numbers, definitely makes for an interesting build since most sorcs would play ESFB or 200 vita for svs.

A couple things: SvS I thought max res is capped at 85% for fire not 80%? Also you’d need a lot more cold stack to ensure 75% resists after cold mastery reduction, and having CBF is helpful as well during svs.

Most sorcs can’t afford any max res at all so I give myself 80% just to not feel underwhelming. I can even slap a dwarf star instead of a soj, but I won’t take damage. I have 2 open sockets flexibility or infernos.
As of the coke matchup, I am trying not to exceed 200res although I can swap with trang gloves and one more sc for +239 cold res. If I find 2x godly jewels instead of ThulThul I can be at 259 cold res without sacrificing damage. We still have 2x soj that we can flex. It’s insane imo

Interesting for SVS the numbers make your eyes pop

In SvS it’s required for vita sorcs to hit 85 fr vs fire, and 300+ cold res vs cold in order to hit 75 cold res after CM. Otherwise fire would take too much life per hit, and Blizz would obliterate. But definitely swapping out the sojs for resistance rings / dwarf or using infernos would help that front, though I’m not sure how to raise Cold res up to the 300-350 threshold that’s typical for SvS without sacrificing too much life, especially as a 105 sorc as opposed to 200 sorc.
