all of you paid for rotw and sold out on the d2 community.

we are not supposed to give blizzard money for AI slop after 20 years of ignoring us.

Next time they release another AI slop, I hope you dont buy.

non-rotw Expansion is dead af now :(

I got no free games to drop stuff in. Took me awhile to get rid of a torch I didnt need. Shame on all you sellouts.

Remember to say no to AI SLOP in the future. Blizzard put no effort into this update whatsoever.

Now the ones who didnt buy get nobody to play with, I might as well go into single player so I can activate P8 games hmmm


P.S.

If you keep paying for AI SLOP, they will never release quality content. Which explains why Blizzard keeps releasing AI SLOP. You keep buying it. Stop. Giving. Them. Money. They do not deserve it.

Im making builds that I never made fully before. Cold sorc is one of them, currently lvl50, havnt been able to do testing yet.

This thread is to make it more clear how the following work with cold mastery. I would also approve of any negative resist breakpoints for cold immune mobs.

Infinity conviction aura
Cold rupture Unique Charm (Sunder for cold)
Lower Resist Curse

What I have gained from searches is that you do not need a cold sunder. You do however need an infinity to reach a negative resist on cold immunes, combined with cold mastery... or just to get cold immunes into a negative resist.

Note: It was stated somewhere that Cold Mastery does sunder cold immunes on its own. I cannot confirm or deny yet.
Note2: -100 resists would be the best way to make cold sorc kill faster as the spells are lower damage. However this proves to be difficult with blizzards 1/5 effect after breaking immunities.
Note3: What is the highest cold resist mob? Last thing I read was 210 cold resist?

Thanks for any contributions to this topic. Any posts related to my other threads from trolls will be reported thanks.

for cold immunes, -res from infinity, lower resist, and cold mastery is applied at 1/6 the value.

but -%cold resist from doom, facets, renewed sunder is applied at 100% the value

so just put 1 hard point into cold mastery, fully synergize damage, and then put rest into telekinesis and run ES

most monster only have 50-75 cold res, so anything over -175% isn't doing anything since -100% is the maximum that can be applied to a target in the game code

instead of infinity run an insight + cure prayer merc for huge life regen and mana regen



they nerf'd hdin? how

Quote (4nt @ Mar 22 2026 08:05pm)

hdin was nerfed long ago with magic immunes

Quote (ZeaLORDeaL @ Mar 22 2026 11:09pm)

there's hardly anything in the game magic immune, that's hardly a nerf

Hdin is still OP

Quote (4nt @ Mar 22 2026 08:10pm)

no baal no tomb making it not even a contender for 99 race anymore

Quote (ZeaLORDeaL @ Mar 22 2026 11:11pm)

yeah like every other class in the game. Hdin is still stupid strong

it's down to nova Sorc and echo Warlock

Quote (4nt @ Mar 22 2026 08:13pm)

echo will get nerfed and everyone here will be talking about coh jmod eschuta again

Quote (ZeaLORDeaL @ Mar 22 2026 11:30pm)
