Infinity or doom?

To get through more of those cold immune along with cold mastery, does anyone know if doom is better than infinity?

Doom give a maximum of -60%, and infinity give -80%… So infinity is probably better. But Doom get open wound, more enhanced dmg and +Att speed…

I don’t really want to know if it’s better than infinity, but just if it’s enough to ā€˜break’ those cold immune… I just loot a Cham rune but don’t want to waste it in something useless lol

Pretty sure the Doom lower resist only applies to damage done by the user so it does nothing at all for you.

Infinity has always been my ā€œgo toā€ for sorc with A2 merc.

The -cold resists works for spells as well, but you’d be giving up all the benefits of deaths fathom like the fcr and +cold damage.

It can be useful to have for pvp, because if someone is stacking resists, it will do more damage than fathom. Especially considering blizzard ignores absorb as long as you kill your opponent in one hit. Because with absorb you technically take the damage and then heal it back, but not if it kills you before you can Regenerate it back.

Holy freeze aura ignores cannot be frozen, which can help against zons and melee if it has time to apply before they kill you. Usually if you telestomp a zon or sumthin. :upside_down_face:

Edit I realize now he meant for his Merc. The minus cold resists would not work in that case, only if you equipped it yourself.
