It is most definitely a bug. I can attest that it has nothing to do with gear.

The last time I experienced it was on my BRD, who was ilvl 325 at the time with ~35k HP in the duty. The initial hit (where you're frozen) did 0 damage to me. The Deep Freeze DoT that ticks afterward did nearly 40k damage. I had no stacks of vulnerability, and I was way over the minimum ilvl needed for the content. Queued back into the instance immediately after clearing the bugged fight, and everything was back to normal. I purposely failed the Void Blizzard III mechanic just to see.

As far as I'm aware, DoT damage doesn't show up in the Battle Logs. When I failed the mechanic to see exactly what was killing the people in the party I was in the first time I experienced the bug, there was no report of the Deep Freeze DoT tick anywhere in my Battle Logs, and it's on the default settings.

I have had this happen to me too. Definitely a bug. It is way too inconsistent.

Doesn't die unless he has a de buff. If anything people just don't think or follow mechanics. Same as enhanced Fire attack people don't realize not to move for 3 seconds and complain is a bug. Same for Shin fight "it one shot us it's a bug"....no people just don't learn mechanics. Amazing how fast people change when they know what to do. Then again maybe it's a server based issue which can be a possibility but only seen high damage when de buff is up other wise Haven't really been hit by that much damage even when frozen.

I'm ilvl 334 with vit melds. I've been randomly one shot from full health with no vuln debuffs on normal mode before.

When I first saw it last week, people were taking the normal (very non-lethal)damage they would have, but then instantly dying right after.

I can confirm that it's not the AoE itself that kills, the bug is in the DoT from being frozen. Each tick ends up doing 40,000 damage instead of 400 damsge

I heard about this but haven't seen it for myself yet. What I have seen and experienced is getting frozen during this mechanic while I was moving. I saw him start the cast, started to run in long, wide circles (I wasn't strafing) and in the middle of running got frozen. I've seen it do this to other players, too.

So, it's bugging out and killing people who get frozen... and you can just randomly get frozen despite doing the mechanic.

Oh i just had this happen in my o4n run.3 dps dropped dead. It was pretty funny....

With that, I think it might be a slight bit of lag that causes it. It's happened to me, but usually only when someone starts to watch something on Netflix

It has happened to me also, on D4 1 time. It is a bug, or some weird hidden mechanic we don't know about. It happened to me on blizzard and I was moving and got 1 shot.
