"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. "
thats from the AS ( blizzards site :huh: ) and thats how they show cold mastery works. cold mastery is unlike fire or lightning. and unlike lower resist and conviction (that just lower your resist to elements) cold mastery pierces ( i like the word bybass since thats whats its doing) the resistances to cold.
Albion Child: if it worked like you say all you would have to do is have 290% to cold in hell. if a sorc had 95% pierce you would still have 95% to cold in a hell game + absorb items.
but like i said before with all the absorb items for cold 95% to cold (listed) and about 3-400% total to cold i still take dmg to sorcs with high lev pierce ( in hell games) i dont recall if i take any in nm or not.
