I dont really understand it

My main question: using a sunder charm and no infinity - how many points into cold mastery? I have a doom with -53 in double axe. Is this combination necessary? or max cold mastery and use other weapon?
Also: should I skill Frozen Orb + Blizzard to shoot each during cooldown or better go blizzard + glacial spike? and how is the equipment then better for each.

thx for help

Sunders set cold immune monsters to 95% cold resist.

Cold mastery then applies at 1/5 effectiveness. A -200 cold mastery is actually -40 for sundered monsters.

For example 95 monster res -40 from cold mastery = 55 monster res. Then 55 monster res - 53 from doom =2 monster res.

I always max cold mastery, but it’s a personal preference. Also if you go blizz, go all in and work on its synergies before orb.

ok so I skilled her now with doom
have 13 points left
cold mastery is at level 17 with items (so -100)

anyone tried out frozen orb with blizzard? is it worth it put 13 points into frozen orb for variety or just put the remainings into cold mastery? I would mainly do TZ runs

I tried the orb addition recently and really liked it

I’d recommend giving it a shot

If it’s cold, you put on jacket.

You have mastered cold.
