![]() ![]() You could also consider running a doom staff and infinity merc but you're gonna need to stack a lot of PDR to make that tanky enough to telestomp maps, questionable whether the damage would be there to make the build viable. On to the original question, what kind of sorc is it? If it's a telestomping frost nova sorc, you're probably best off using a doom merc for additional survivability. ![]() If the monster is still cold immune after infinity's conviction is applied pierce from gear won't help you. The only things that break cold immunes are conviction aura and lower resist curse. Now let's introduce a second +cold damage % scalar and you have the option of getting either another -50 cold resistance or +50% cold damage.īased on the previous calculation, if you choose -50 cold resistance, you get a 33% increase in damage whereas the cold damage would add a flat +50%.If infinity doesn't break them, would running 4-5 facets and a Nightwing's + an infinity merc break map immunities? If the enemy has -50 already however and you apply another -50 to make it -100, you are going from 1.5x damage to 2x damage - an increase of only 33% If the enemy has 50 cold resistance and you give it -50 cold resistance, you are effectively increasing your damage by 100% for the first -50 you invest. ![]() In other words, the more you stack one specific scalar, the more it experiences diminishing returns - especially if there is a cap. Adding -60 cold resist on a target that already has -50 cold resist is much less effective than adding 3 skills and +35% cold damage (assuming you pop a facet into the df) - incidentally 3 skills + facet = -20 cold resist. Remember that different damage scalars in d2 are multiplicative. So, Doom BA can be always the best option when you have no choice, depending of your situation.ĭoom is MUCH MUCH lower dps output than a fathom on a cold sorc. Doom BA for a sorceress is probably as high as Death Fathom, maybe higher, except Death Fathom cannot drop in non-ladder and can barely drop in ladder. ![]()
