Cold mastery's stats only make sense if it is doing a straight reduction of resists like conviction. I suspect also that cold mastery will lower resists below zero.
"Cold Mastery will not work against monsters that are Immune to Cold. So even if you have Enemy Resistance -105%, they will still be Cold Immune and you will still be unable to damage them. So what's the point of 100%+ you might ask? Well if they are NOT Cold Immune, it will lower their Cold Resistance down below 0% which essentially means they will take more damage. It's just like when you have negative resistances in Hell."
But that means high cold mastery works best against things that have *HIGH* resists (but not immune) rather than low resists
Facing a PvP sorc with max CM you would be better off with zero cold resists than having a positive value.
