Die while they boot you out for maintenance.
Die with crap fps cause bnet decides to lag out of the blue.

Fixed for you.
If you are kicked out for maintenance, the server is shut down and you do not die. If you lag, unless everybody on general chat suddenly explodes with "I just lagged", it's your connection not battle.net.

No my connection is fine, probably better then anything you can get in the Uk.
Sometimes the server is just laggy.
It's not an issue in sc, 99% of the time i play without any lag at all.
But that 1% of unstable servers is enough to give you some annoying death in hc.
I also seen people claim they died in hc inferno after getting kicked out for maintenance, but i guess it could just be people bs'ing.

If it is a server problem, everybody on the server will experience the same lag at the same time. This is very very rarely the case - next time you get a lag spike, type in general "did anyone else get lag just then?" and you will get a chorus of "nope - it's just you".
I play on a very stable uni connection. I've experienced maybe 2 lag spikes since I started playing, and each time I quickly tab to Chrome and try to open Google. Both times, Google has failed to load - so I know it's a problem with my connection. (Incidentally, one of these alllllmost cost me my monk).

yea I died in inferno last night when the game servers lagged. Everyone else lagged too. Ping went up to 1k and I was mashing pots and spirit walk and nothing was happening. My character was teleporting all over the place and taking dmg, in town mind you. I tried to run into the Inn and couldn't get in, mashed more buttons. I was really low health when the game finally said I was disconnected. I thought I was saved. I tried to join a new game but it wouldn't let me. 10 minutes later my char showed up dead.. =/

My condolences on your loss of your hero. What was the build you were using on your WD?
|
Was trying out a bunch of different stuff.
At the end I was using
Spirit Walk with the additional length
Soul Harvest with the heal
Fear spell with the additional range
Garg with the last rune
Splinters
and the last AOE dmg spell with fire dmg rune
For passives I was using jungle fortitude, pierce the veil, and the passive that keeps you alive I forgot the name.
I leveled using Spirit Walk, Soul Harvest, Dogs, Garg, Fireball, and the same AOE dmg spell.

I almost died last night in Act 2 Hell. I was fighting a Waller/Arcane something with Arcane minions when another champions pack showed up, I didn't look what they were but started running. Next thing I know... vortex into a wall with fuckin lasers everywhere. I was down to like 5% HP with no CDs but somehow fuckin survived. It was very similar to my first death. It was pretty exhilarating when I lived, I got to the waypoint with my heart pounding and made it back to camp. I fell off my chair onto my knees going "holy shit I'm alive, holy fuckin shit holy shit holy shit"
|
Was bored after beating SC. Now leveling another barb on hc, lvl 52 as of now. I highly suggest trying this out.
We'll see if I say the same the moment I die

Kinda surprised the recommended wiz build doesn't find room for Illusionist passive - especially since you're running both mirror image and teleport.
Just started my first HC character, level 15 now.

I'm not all that convinced that build is "popular". Personally I'm running the Hydra/Blizz build as it says, but with Diamond Skin + Frost Nova for defensives, and Evoc and Blur instead of the offensive passives.
Diamond Skin is a must have IMO if for no other reason that you can use it while stunned/knockbacked/etc. It's huge, and evocation makes it even more huge. I'm not really convinced by Frost Nova (though I see people using it to good effect) - might try out some alternatives.
I still highly highly recommend both Blur and Evoc. The fact is that you will not be able to kite everything - wait til you see your first NM and above pack of elite Demonic Tremors, watch how they run across an entire screen in less than a second while completely ignoring your Blizzard snare, and you will realise that kiting simply is not an option sometimes.
It will also give you many more options vs things like Mortar when you can simply tank them in melee.

Just reached 60 and Inferno Act 1 as a Monk.
Impossible to get any further.

Time to farm goblins.
If you want some benchmarks for the butcher, here are my stats from when I beat him yesterday: 45k life, 60%DR, 60%AR, 9k base damage. I found the elite packs to be a lot harder and I did all of Act 1 with a barbarian friend so I had about 70%DR and 70%AR with his shout. Unfortunately, he died on the walk from Halls level 2 to the butcher.

Act 1 hell certainly drops gear that's much better than anything you find in nightmare mode. I was even using a white weapon for a little bit, haha. Then a rare poleaxe dropped out of nowhere in the crypts. ID'd it to find the base DPS jump from 195 to 270. Jaw-dropping.
My dps jumped from 1500 to 2600 with that upgrade. Getting to and beating the skeleton king sure got really easy! 
Barbarian stats are now:
LV51, 19k life, 2600 dps, and 3700 armor with war cry

Ofcourse there are variations of builds. The teleport + wormhole is simply to escape unkillable boss packs afaik. And also mirror images breaks roots and gives the mobs something to hit while you shoot them since even with diamond skin you cannot really tank boss packs in inferno. Other then this i dont see which passives you'd give up, blur is moot since even with it everything three shots you anyway and melee shouldn't hit you to begin with since you have an aoe snare.
So when things aren't kiteable, you simply gtfo with wormhole. You can't kill everything you know.

When kicked out for maintenance or if the server goes down, you are no longer in the game, you are kicked out of the game immediately. The times when you DC and stay in the game, aka die, are when your connection messes up. If the server has a lag spike however that is something different entirely, but the EU server hasn't had this in weeks during prime time. Sadly the US server seems way worse atm.
Anyway the threat of DC death is greatly exaggerated on EU, the servers are very stable and if you are kicked out for some Blizzard crap you will not die since you leave the game immediately. So if you have a stable connection just go for it.

I love your explanation and wish you would use it on Asia server
Woops, Doesnt work here.
Everyone, even the koreans, are lagging out occasionally here and there.
