Is it just me or have Lightning Enchanted monsters become an even greater threat?

In the past years of my D2-experience the Fire Enchanted bug has been quite annoying, especially sometimes when it coincided with that Lightning Enchantment tht would kill you in 2 hits, even though you had full Lightning Resistance and Absorb on a 5k life toon.
Since 1.11 I've never suffered that instant death from a FE-bugged monster, but on the other hand, whenever there are Beetles around... 1 out of 3 times they're bugged, and their Lightning Bolts cut my red bulb in half in just one hit, and the game starts some really serious lagging (this is SP, btw), like stops at each frame for +5 seconds. My comp is not bad, so that's not it, and it hasn't been like this until 1.11.
Is this just happening to me or is it widely common? What causes this LE-bug?
Thanks in advance.
 
Hmm, my zealot with 85%lres and 20 absorb from Titan's simply runs into any group of lightning bugs (those in WSK 2), gloams or souls and their pathetic lightning damage cannot hurt him significantly. If a conviction boss is near, it's a different issue, of course, perhaps that's what happened to you.
 
If they are LEMS (Lightning Enchanted, Multiple Shot) the lightning will do a nice chunk of damage. It could also be the conviction aura that Krischan talked about. But other than that, I have no idea what's causing it.
 
It happened 4 times in 10 minutes yesterday, then I quit playing. None of those packs were Aura Enchanted Conviction, I can assure you. But I've realized this only happens this often when I play with the Barbarian class. Never happened to any of my Paladins, Assassins, or Amazons. Ok, maybe once with my Jabberzon, but due to D/A/E (she only got hit by one bolt that took away approximately 1/2 of her full life-container) she got away.
Mercernaries and summons don't seem to be affected by it.

I remember reading some older stuff about .09. Back then the most dangerous things seemed to be those MSLEB, or whatever. Multiple Shot, Lightning Enchanted Boss. But I didn't think Multiple Shot attribute applied to Lightning Enchantments anymore?
