How to Use the Cold Rupture to Get Max Benefit?

There is a bunch of items that have negative enemy cold resistance on them that you can use in combination with this cold rupture sunder charm. The first one is the Wizendraw (Long Battle Bow), which is a relatively cheap and inexpensive Diablo 2 Ladder item to obtain although the cold resistance does roll between like 20 to 35 percent, it can go as high as negative 35 enemy cold resistance and works extremely well with this new charm. The Medusa’s Gaze has a massive 80 cold resistance on it and it also offers a lower resistance when struck, which could be helpful to both take advantage of the new charm and also counter the new charm's negative resistance. Plague (Phase Blade) also has lower resistance on in struck which could certainly be useful, and Infinity (Mancatcher) is also going to bring down the monster's resistance once the monster's resistance is broken as well. On top of that, we also have the Rainbow Facet, which is negative five percent enemy cold resistance and plus five percent cold skill damage.
