Holy Freeze Pally gear

[ShadowHM]

The ice breath demons in hell do have a positive coldeffect.  It happens that monsters with a non-negative coldeffect aren't at all affected by the holy freeze chill or area damage.

Those monsters have a base 150-190% cold resistance in hell (depending on the type).  Conviction will never have more than -150% to resistances (-30% against immunes).  Lower resists has a diminishing returns formula, so even at the impossible-to-reach slvl 99, you'd have only -71% (-14% against immunes).  So even with both of those at slvl 99, any monster with 144% or more resistance will still be immune.

There doesn't seem to be any practical difference between their positive coldeffect and a zero coldeffect.

Would that be the attribute listed as "Chill Effectiveness" at the Arreat Summit monster descriptions? i.e. "Chill Effectiveness" = reversed coldeffect?

Reviewing there, I see that Frozen Horrors of all types have listed a chill effectiveness of -33 and the Death Lord sub-type of Blood Lord has a chill effectiveness of 0.
