How does Cold Mastery work? And how does it stack with -resist items?
Its operation is as follows, apparently: Cold Mastery, and other -% to enemy resist items, are applied additively to resists. So if you had -75% to enemy Cold Resist on items/CM, and your opponent was 75% Cold Resistant, they would have 0% Resists. This is different to the Arreat Summit’s info. These items and skills cannot remove immunities – only Conviction and Lower Resist can. Once immunity has been removed, CM works as normal. -resist items should stack additively with this. So if you have -10 to Enemy Cold Resist on your gear and slvl 1 CM, you should reduce resists by 30%.
