Character name: PresqueVu
Character level: 36
Character class: Sorceressessess
Character build: Frozen Orb
Game difficulty: Normal
Act: 4
Corpse looted: NO!
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise: I thought I would be alright running CS out of boredom with my new Sorceress. I had just spent the evening leveling her up using Charged Bolt and I respec'd into FO.
Everything was fine, and then it wasn't. I hit the last seal, for the Venom Lord pack, and the game lags. Not a long time, but just enough.
A bit late, this happened over a week ago, but here goes:

Character name: MichelleYeoh
Character level: 81
Character class: Assassin
Character build: Kicker
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 4
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise:
This babe was mostly untwinked (got a Crushflange from MrKaxe) and doing pretty fine so far in her partial Sigon's set with rares to add ^^
Went on my way to go and get her Hellforge drop and obviously encountered Hephasto. Was not doing much damage with her claws, so decided to switch to her trustworthy 'flange when I suddenly noticed she was not wearing her shield anymore. Ported out, went for her shield from stash (some ****hole rare, did not manage to find a 4sox shield for a spirit yet ) went back through the tp, lagged a bit and got murdered by Hephasto and 1 or 2 of those maggot younglings.
Ow man, back to back entries, I'm doing well this ladder :/

Character level: 54
Character class: Amazon
Character build: Fend w. Multishot as backup/crowd control
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 4
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise:
Earlier on the day I had walked my way through nightmare together with a trapsin and since we skipped forges at that moment I decided to go and get mine in the hope of finding a decent 3sox armor for a Peace for which I had just found the necessary runes.
Was fighting the group @ Hephasto (yeah, again) when "Huh? Wut wut?!? " I apparently hit the Windows key. Lights out, game over...
Never even got to use that Stoneraven sitting in her stash that was kindly donated by MrKaxe
Character name: Pootah
Character level: 90
Character class: Sorceress
Character build: Orb/TK
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 3
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise: Happily teleporting through Durance 2 when I got stunlocked and then GGed by dolls. First character of the season, untwinked with 0 fg to start and I managed build up a nice little setup with a Shako, perfect vmagi and other decent gear. You will be missed!
Character name: MagicFingersZF
Character level: 57
Character class: Sorceress
Character build: Meterorb
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 4
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise: Sheer careless stupidity. Was easily leveling in CS and I did something I have never had the audacity/stupidity to do before. I opened the seal for the Venom Lord pack standing between the seal and the edge of the level. DOH!! They popped right next to me, and when I went to tele away from them I click my mouse outside the game window I was playing in. Double Doh! I normally ALWAYS make sure I open those seals leaving myself an easy safe out in case they pop too close. Oh well always seem to need one "wakeup" death playing this game per ladder season, just got this one a lot earlier than usual.
Character name: KissOfDarkness
Character level: 94 only 30 mils from 95
Character class: Sorceress
Character build: Lighting
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 5
Corpse looted: NO!!!!!
Death type: PvM
Character name: Mau-Jav
Character level: 71
Character class: Amazon
Character build: Pure Strafer
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 5 (dumb)
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: afk vs M
Cause of demise: I was having a blast with her and wanted to just play through hell because she was so fun. My resists were pretty bad and I really wanted to use WF at 83 so I hit a roadblock. My friends started asking for a hell rush so I figured I'd rush her with my Sorc while I was at it and risk it.
It went well, until I started watching TV while Baaling. A Soul sneaks into the back corner and 1 shots me :(
I loved playing through the game with her, still not even sure why I rushed her. My own fault. At least I was able to loot, I didn't lose anything other than the entire weekend I spent playing her...ugh.
Character name: Ajax
Character level: 53
Character class: Barbarian
Character build: Berserker
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 3-Spider Caverns
Corpse looted: HelpfulSteve tried. Epic fail. See next post.
Death type: NoobvM
Cause of demise: My first hardcore character. Surrounded by spiders in the Spider Cavern. Berserk was just becoming useful, but base AR was too low. Don't know if we were fighting some champion or if it was Ssark the Burning, but I got surrounded and frozen. Frozen casting delay made it hard to war cry fast enough to stun them, and impossible to leap out of there between hits. Broke away after using my last rejuvenation potion, but was too slow (or dumb) to get away fast enough.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Reason: Prayer
Character name: HelpfulSteve
Character level: 54
Character class: Paladin
Character build: Squire
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 3-Spider Caverns
Corpse looted: Nope.
Death type: PvM
Cause of demise: Another first hardcore character. After Ajax died, he asked HelpfulSteve from beyond the grave to honor his death by looting his corpse. HelpfulSteve returned to the cavern with his lord to honor Ajax's dying wish. His lord died almost immediately, but HelpfulSteve cleverly lured the spiders away from Ajax's corpse. He doubled back to Ajax's venom-filled body, realizing too late that the boss spider was standing on Ajax's body, waiting (seriously). By the time HelpfulSteve clicked on Ajax's corpse, he was already hit, and frozen again. His cold state slowed him enough such that the minion spiders were able to surround him before he got to his escape town portal, and he fell in the same screen as Ajax, who was forced to watch his best friend die before his eyes in an attempt to perform the burial rights.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Act: 5 (just a casual march through Bloody Foothills)
Corpse looted: No
Death type: vs M
Cause of demise: Got a little overconfident and just started marching ahead, not using my decoy, enjoying my new bow...ran into a 15-pack of the javelin-tossing cats and died in about 1.4 seconds. Absolutely stupid death...was really enjoying her, too.
