First death was to my cat. Details in my report thread.
Second death was to load lag, running a boss encounter at the start of a new session. (Won't be doing that again any time soon).
I have come close about six times so far to a legitimate death in combat, but have not yet fallen. ... My toons so far are both melee, so wade right in and get their hands dirty. This playstyle must remain legitimate through Hell difficulty (albeit with use of tactics and smarts) or I will be displeased.
There is a big club-swinging brute in Act Two, who nearly one-shotted me when I took the hit. This is sure to be a one-shot in later difficulties, I am thinking, but he gets his weapon stuck after a miss, so you will have to bait him into swinging, avoid it, then move in for some damage. THIS sort of design I can live with. Unavoidable one-shots not so much. So we shall see.
