*minor spoiler*
My first death I recall best. I just arrived in act4. in the first fight you fight a miniboss with a swarm of little thingies. I was a minion based witch doctor who just had set everything to single target dps for the act III boss. I arrived in act 4, went to the first enemy and my minions charged, then the 100 or so critters swarmed all over me with me having nothing to blast them away except killing them one by one. Suffice to say I did not last long.
When I came there with my wizard, I went archon mode and blasted them all in 3 seconds. My archon timer then went to 2 minutes, so I did a good part of the first plateau in archon mode. *cackle*

the only time I died 3 times in a row was in a multiplayer game. We had just arrived in Nightmare at the Khazra/goatmen area. There are those huge charging beasts there. We arrived in the zone and immediately encountered;
1 champion pack of those big beast chargers with arcane and knockback.
1 elite pack of those same beasts with vampiric and extra health.
These two packs were together, so we had about 8-10 of those huge beasts constantly charging us and dropping arcane beams of doom. They would knock us back (which also slows you, opening you up for another charge from another beasty or a nice fry from the arcane beams). In the meanwhile half of that the pack was tough as nails. These things normally have a lot of health. giving them the extra health buff and making them vampiric (life gain when they damage you) was almost insulting. We circled like mad, dropping all we got at them, died time and time again, but eventually whittled them down. Damn that was painful. And I loved it.
