Um ... damn ... [stares] ... and damn again ...

Do they make a buff for that?

Edit: Did you see the note at the bottom? You can buy a restore heath potion, in case you didn't know ...

They have already said the death recap shows the total damage done by abilities not one use of it. So he could have hit you 10 times for 265 damage and the death recap would show 2650 damage.

Also they said they are looking to make it "clearer".

That recap is what the mob hits your for at death. You know how we know, because you die. Unless it is the worst bug ever and it hits you with 10 consecutive abilities instantaneously then what they are telling you is a lie.

Lol, I remember the Vampire Lord bug from the ol' Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. Open a door to a vampire and he'd hit you with hundreds of spells in less than a second. Scariest mob in the game because of the bug.

What difference does it make? The damage was done within 1 second whether it was one shot or a hundred. There was no time to block, dodge or react in any way. Death was instantaneous.

That screen does not show whether the death was instantaneous or not. You might have stood in fire for a minute, the final screen would show all the fire ticks added together as the damage that killed you (it would show "Stood in fire: 10000 damage")

First, what level are you?

Second, what armor are you wearing?

Third, what damage mitigation skills were you using?

Fourth, why didn't you dodge roll?

OK - you want chapter and verse?

I'm a VR2 sorc, light armour, some medium, 2 staffs - usual setup. Been playing RvR since beta. PvP in MMOs since the last millenium.

We broke into the inner keep (I think it was Roebeck - don't remember). As usual, there was a lot of visual noise, spells going off in all directions, some player defenders mixed in with the guards.
Red circles, green circles, fire, fountains, all sorts of crap everywhere.

Not first in, I'm wearing light armour remember? I let the melee break through first.
I BE through the wrecked doors, take a quick look - can't see any enemy players. Another BE through the first flag room toward the second, already occupied by some of our melee fighting. I think I see some enemy players so I move forward some more toward the fighting trying to find a target.
Yes, there are circles on the ground, all sorts of colours - very pretty. Whose? couldn't say, game doesn't differentiate.

BLAM! - I'm dead.

In an open field fight where you can see what's going on, it's maybe reasonable to say 'stay out the red circles' although it's poor game design to have enemy AoE spells indistinguishable from friendly.
In a close-quarters fire-fight all you can do is trust to luck and maybe guess where enemy fire is likely to be.
This particular skill (I think) is the one where the NPC ports into your face and gives you all of half-a-second to dodge before it blows you away. In all the visual noise, I simply didn't see it.

When it's single casts that do that damage, come say hi.

Actually, I think I'm beginning to understand the thinking behind this.

Z don't want a small number of players to be able to take a keep. (Say 10 for argument's sake). All you have to do is to 'execute' 10 players out of the invading force.
If they number more than 10 you want to let the remainder through so you give your 10 NPC defenders a one-shot, guaranteed kill on a fairly long CD and enough health that they can't be killed quickly even by 10 players at once.

I guess that would do it.

Its a DoT as other says, same as dungeon bosses have, if you stay in it you tend to die, move out and heal and its no issue, we took multiple resources without anybody dying with 15 man after the change.

And yes reason to buff the NPC is that a 6 man group of low level veterans was able to take resources in minutes, was easier with 6 than with 15 now.

There is a passive that disintegrates the enemy if they are low on health in that skill line. But I don't know if that would do it.

You have a good memory! Daggerfall seems so long ago, I can barely remember much about it. It was quite a game at the time, though.
