Quick question regarding sunder charms

Hi guys,

I just found 3 sunder charms, but I don't really understand the mechanics behind it. I found 2 Cold Ruptures - one with 73%, one with 80%. Which one is better vs. cold immu mobs? Thank you.

The sunder will remove the immunity on mobs. The downside is that you will also suffer. Your cold resistance in this case will take a hit. So the -73 is better to use, as it deducts -73 from your current cold resistance. The other one will do -80.

Ah alright. Understood. Thank you.

So what are their resistances after applying sunder charms? 99%, 98%?

95%. In addition, the effectiveness of

Conviction,

Lower Resist and other sources of lowering resistances will be 1/5 effective even after a Sundering Charm’s applied effects.

So my

Cold Mastery is level 35 (-190%) but it applies only 1/5 plus a sunder charm will give me -43% to cold resistance. Am I correct?

The immune will be set at 95, then it will lose another (190/5), so he will still have 57 resistance and you will suffer the penalty written on your sunder charm.

Also;

-X% to enemy resistance from gear (equipment) work at full effect vs sundered enemies.

So if my Act 2 merc holds Infinity with Level 12

Conviction it will lower resistances even more? I mean a combination of

Cold Mastery and

Conviction?

that's confirmed?
so i'd rather be using wisendraw on my cold sorceress, than a Spirit..

Yes, -X% to enemy resistance on equipment works at full effect vs sundered enemies. That part was never "nerfed".

Yes. But keep in mind that if the enemy was originally cold immune and sundered with a

Cold Rupture charm, then both

Cold Mastery and

Conviction work at 1/5 effect, so the Infinity only gives you an additional -17% to the monster's cold resistance on top of what your

Cold Mastery does. If the enemy wasn't immune to begin with,

Cold Mastery alone should be enough to bring the monsters down to -100 (the lowest their resistances can go) even without Infinity.

Cold Mastery gives me -39% and Infinity would -17% so in total -56%. Not bad, not bad at all! Throw a perfect Cold Death into

Shako and we will go -61%!
