Well, 20% cold penetration will be equal to 20% more cold damage if the target's resist is 0%, it will be better if resists are higher and worse if resists are lower. Unfortunately, much more often monster resists will be higher than 0% than lower, even when cursed. Also, when penetration is better it's much better and when it's worse it's not that much of a difference.
So having cold penetration is generally better. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]► Last edited by raics#7540 on Jan 2, 2014, 8:34:25 AM

even with the new added cold gem buff? current like 80-120 cold damage at lvl 19. almost half the damage of frost nova.

Isn't added chaos damage always the best "added damage" gem for spells now?

" Ah, why didn't you say so in the first place. In that case penetration hands-down, damage on added cold gem is miniscule next to base damage of freeze mine, it wouldn't do a thing. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

" who said anything about freezemine? IGN Suck

" Right, nobody did :) Misread it. Well, added cold will do quite a bit for frost nova, around 50% more damage, I believe, but cold penetration is still better unless they do something about those resists. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
