Not sure if its intended or not but there are several people reporting insta-deaths with unknown killer or being insta killed from regular monster attacks.
This is becoming very frustrating for myself and other players in my clan reporting it.
There needs to be some sort of Cheat death passive or the elixir needs to be easier to craft.
There are players who are still on story mode due to bug deaths causing this ‘hell loop’ of leveling and story progression.
on the 6th I’m sure we will see a lot more of this happening unless they fix these insta deaths.
Has anyone else experienced the unknown killer or other bug deaths?

Yeah i ripped a 52 rogue to nothing after killing a world boss… i think it was a corpse explosion but i really dont know. One second i was alive the next i was dead, unknown killer on my hall. It makes me sad but i expect it. Ive lost so many 95+s in diablo 2 stygian dolls that idrc anymore lol.

I believe it’s an indicator that it was an on-death trigger or environmental.
Sad that it can’t be specified though.
It should literally just give you the last line of combat text before your character is declared dead.
what environmental thing could bring someone with 1.2k life and 1.5k shield to 0 in one hit and destroy their proc potion?
Ya I was 62 solo necro just cruising through. Full hp/shield/fortified killed a mob in a strong hold like it was no big deal. 2 seconds later I was dead with nothing on my screen. It felt super bad. I know theres no hope blizz will give me my toon back but man does it feel horrible to lose it and have no idea why. Like I wouldve felt better if the butcher had 1 shot me or something but for there to be nothing on my screen… man it hurts.
Something similar just happened to me. But i had the flame shield enchantment, so when i take letal damage it pops up and saves me for a few seconds. I also had a necklace that made me immune to everything for 7.5 seconds. Both passives were up. Something hit me and i died to “unknown killer” even with both passives still up. Its literally impossible for me to die and if flame shield passive is down i hide in town for 120 seconds until its back up.
So you did actually die with flameshield passive up? Or am I misunderstanding?
On a different note…
If you play HC like that, why not just play SC?
I’m not being judgmental here, but just curious.
With that approach to the game you’re essentially just playing SC with some very time consuming extra steps…
Lost my lvl 47 sorcerer with full legend gear with hydra buffs out the wazoo. My health just instantly drained in the middle of a fight
