That’s twice now, once with Avarice and just now with Wandering Death, that I was killed by a team mate. The chat display show me being killed by a team mate. With Avarice, he was being staggered so it was not his attack and with Wandering Death, he was throwing out his Bone Prisons but I was far enough to not be in one. Then bam! I am dead and the system displayed I just died after being killed by another player, a fellow party member.
Anyone else experiencing this?
WB areas are the new PvP…
It must be a bug because I know my mercenary has killed people during the Azmodan group fight.
I don’t believe you.
I fail to believe a mercenary can kill anything.
I will not lose any sleep over it: xyz was killed by Raheir. Like I said: 
you cut off the part showing my statement was a joke
I think I am the joke…in fighting Azmodan I was must killed by another player…that player was me. I think my builds are starting to form a union wanting equal pay for equal play.
I’ve been killed by players and mercs. It’s hilarious, but also annoying. I would hate to be playing on HC this season and needing an actual world boss.
imagine being leader of hardcore party of frens and then wiping them all with your Subo 
merc at world boss! This is so funny it belongs in a top 10 joke patch notes list.
If you ever got killed by a player named “Anti-Paladin” that’s me. lol
Apparently it’s due to the Sin of Hellfire equipped in the Corrupted slot. Unequip or move it off the corrupted slot to the purified one. Next time I am in the game I will give it a try.
That sin makes the world boss cough up more boss summoning mats at the expense of hellfire raining down on you while fighting. What’s missing is the hellfire and the lingering pools of lava. So apparently we are dying because of an invisible hellfire meteor bonking us on the head or we are standing in an invisible pool of lava. What is sus is why it says we’ve been killed by other players or a merc.
This is a new mechanic!
Mercenary mutiny!
The team has identified a fix for the issue where Essence of Hellfire was causing unintended player deaths during world bosses. It will be rolled out in an upcoming patch
Thats cool but i still want all those ears
The important question here is do i get paragon XP if my merc kills people?
Hi, I see too much people dying on Asmodan yesterday. No luck, we play in hardcore mode… that’s sucks 
I just figure Varanya got extra hungry during the fight, needed a quick snack, and that bear druid looked tasty to her. 
Players can not keep their mercs in a party. 
I was in a party and it said my subo was killing ppl.
How is this not an instant hotfix? thanks for being slow and lazy Hardcore #Garbage
