Frozen Orb Damage.....specifics needed

[Dani]

the best way to take little to no dmg from orb is to use stuff like
GA
2 raven frost
snowclash
blackoak shield
and mass resist to cold.

the last part is the most needed (over 500% to cold)

As far as I understand. If you have 50%+ Cold Absorb, and more life than a single shard of the Orb will do, you will never die (your life should go up and down from damage, absorb, damage, absorb, etc.), regarless of resistances or Cold mastery. So if you're high level enough that single Black Oak shield will render any cld attacks useless. (And it does seem to work in practice, my Paladin has the Luna on the alternate weapon tab just to thwart PKs.)
