if you were to use all the cold absorb items you still will take mass dmg from very high orb/pierce in hell games. lev 20-25 isnt going to be a problem but when they run with 35-40 you will have big problems.
one of my paladins has all the absorb items in the game a long with +400% to cold and he still takes dmg to very high orb
2 raven frost
blackoak with P sapphire
snowclash
GA plate
cold mastery
lev 1 is 23%
lev 10 is 71%
lev 20 is 85%
lev 30 is 91%
lev 40 is 95%
lev 47 is 97%
If a target has 75% Cold Resistance and you use Skill Level 1 Cold Mastery, the target's resistance will be 75 - 75% * 0.23 = 57.75.
now if you have 500% to cold vs lev 40 cold mastery you end up with 400 - (400% * 0.95) = 20
1000% to cold :o\ vs 40 cold mastery is only 50
2000% to cold vs 40 cold mastery is 100
so what cold mastery does is bypasses a % of your resist to cold
