^^Good Lord I can't top the one above me, but my first HC death:
Death Certificate
Character name: Vern
Character level: 33
Character class: Druid
Character build: Fire/Summon Untwinked
Game difficulty: Norm (bah)
Act: 4 Sanctuary
Corpse looted: No
Death type: C-C-C-C-COMBO!
Cause of Demise: My untwinked Fire/Summon Druid was crushing everything in SP (players8). I had been lucky with drops (2 fissure, 2 os pelt!) and was feeling confident going into Diablo's lair...
I cleaned up all the Seals and even had a mana regen shrine nearby for the big battle. It was easy at first, D was just sitting there ice-fisting a few of my wolves (which I resummoned) while I volcano'd him and my merc nailed him. Then he started using that LBOD again and again. All my minions died and he zapped my oak. Merc bit the dust. I resummoned and proceeded to keep him bottled up. A few fire novas later he had busted out, killing all minions but my bear. And here is where it went bad...I had just volcano'd him[4 second delay] from the edge of the screen when slam(!) the bone prison went up around me! Diablo name lock! Time froze for a second as I realized the implications of this...and watched Diablo charge at me...my bear valiantly tried to get in his way and even managed to swing at him, while I tried to hack my way out of the prison using Sander's wand...D stops right when he gets to me and decides, of ALL the attacks he has, to use the LBOD.
I hit a red pot, then as I saw the bottom dropping out of my health, hit a full juve. No dice. Deeds.
So...it seems Diablo is gg. Prison from off screen, charge, LBOD all in the span of about 1 second...
Losses: nothing really, except my pride. Dead in normal. Oh and sander's wand
