Recently, i dueled a barb who seemed to use at least 1 doom.

He kept leaping around and within 10-15 seconds, i was dead.

He didnt not land a single hit on me, it was only the aura doing the work.

I was wondering if using dual doom zerks and maybe other gears (not nightwing though, he was wearing arreats) provide Holy Freeze with enough killing power in pvp?

my resistance was maxed and i was not under the influence of conviction, i am very confused as to how i could have died from the aura

a level 24 holy freeze from doom would do 51-52 damage per pulse

1/6 pvp penalty so that's 8-9 damage per pulse

even with -100 res i don't see how this could kill you

maybe he was leaping/moving around so much it looked like desynch/lag but he was really whirling you

This was probably done by abusing a bug most often used by auradins causing the auras to be applied multiple times. With some preparation the barb could be stacking maybe 100 auras. Which would indeed kill you rather quick without any source of absorb.

Dual doom seems nice for pvp. Because the chance to cast glacial spike is "on attack", even if the other player runs or teleports away mid-swing, you'll still have a chance to cast the spikes
