Post your stupid deaths here.

[Frag]

I had run into some Demented Fallen earlier in the level and noticed that explosion took about 15% of my life (because I let one blow up on me). I was generally pretty aggressive when I saw them and at one point did get hit by enough that I ended up below 50% but I felt safe.

Then I saw a champion pack of them, they were molten as well. I have never run from and rerolled a map in this game and I gave it a lot of thought here, but didn't. I thought I could string them out enough so I activated them and started running. Noticed I had one mostly by itself near a door and managed to kill it. I moved back through the door to see if I could get another one to string off, when the next thing I know I'm zipping over to them. I had let go of the movement key and thundering strike had ported me. Before I had a chance the screen went dark and the message came up. I was dead.

Frag told me once (and feel free to correct me, Frag) that you don't have to actually kill the lunatics to stop them from exploding. You just have to do some damage to them before they activate. So, to combat the lunatics, you have to charge *at* them and hit them. After that, they won't explode. Is this correct?

Correct. I've 'tanked' 2-3 of them np just by using a low dps aoe builder (like Cleave or Sweeping Strike) until I killed them and the hits kept them from delving their explode.
