Quote:CM gives 75% piercing
Enemy has 75% cold resist
In effect, the enemy has zero cold resistance against your attacks.
And that is most definitely not what it does.
In your example the enemy would have 18.75% Cold Resistance to your Cold Attack (if my calculation is correct).
Quote:It can also (and I've tested this) reduce enemies resistances to negative, effectively increasing the damage done to them.
You can't have tested very well methinks. <_< Cold Mastery will not push enemy Resistances into negative values.
