so far, hit nightmare, and for the most part have been having a decent time of it. Running holy Freeze maxed with frost resist maxed, so should be doing alot of damage. When fighting Andariel and Duriel, both took what looked like 0 damage from the aura, so leaving me to fight them with just regular attacks. Just barely beat both, but now wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Is this intentional or is that a bug? 2 for 2 bosses being immune seems off which is why i ask.

Aura does not freeze enemies in the same way as cool damage e.g. from a weapon. Holy frost is a unique source of deceleration and cannot be reduced in any way. Not even resistance or immunity to cold.
The speed of attack and movement is slowed either by the rate given by skill or by the efficiency of freezing, whichever is less. Thanks to this, despite what is described in the skill, there can never be a drop in the speed of movement or attack of more than 50%, which is already achieved at skill level 12.
If a monster has zero freezing efficiency, this aura won’t slow it down.
This aura does not work on any act bosses. It won’t slow them down or give them any damage.
