Not too stupid, but 1st HC death lastnight. NM Act 1, was fighting in the cathedral one of those places where the stairs go down on both sides and there's a little balcony or something connecting the 2 staircases "in front" of the staircases. I cleared one side of skellies and one of the resurrectors, then was working across the narrow "balcony" to the other staircase. That side had 2 or 3 more resurrectors. I put my Hydra near the resurrectors, to whittle them down while I keep killing the skellies. Somehow a boss got woken up and his pack came down the stairs where I had cleared. Used Frost nova and diamond skin to get to a clear area to try to read their modifiers. Puddle underneath me while I'm mousing... okay desecrator... I better move... oh crap, I guess the other mod is jailor... and done.
I'm sure it was avoidable. I probably didn't NEED to burn diamond skin to get past them and back up the stairs but I did and had no cooldown when I got jailed in a puddle and they caught back up to me.
Hydra is actually pretty good at not waking monsters that aren't in range, so I'm not sure exactly how that boss pack got activated. It was lightning hydra, so no missed bolts trailing off into the distance waking up random packs, but maybe they did shoot at the pack. It's the only way I can think that I woke them. Perhaps I need to switch to using blizzard or meteor as my 'behind the lines" summoner / ranged spell.
