Here are some monster affixes ( enhancements ) that appear either extremely rarely in the beta or not at all, mind you Blizzard has claimed the harder to deal with affixes only appear post-normal difficulty.
It makes me look forward to later difficulties because in Hell mode, monsters can have 3 affixes on them. I may have nightmares over some of those affixes.

I think Blizzard said inferno monsters can have FOUR affixes!!
A nightmarish, jailer, waller, and teleport champion would be ridiculous.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why Jay Wilson has yet to even beat Inferno.
There is also Vortex. They cast it and it teleports you on top of them.
You can find these creatures called Plague Bats in the Den of the Fallen level 2. Plague bats are found in the next zone after the SK and can have vortex, waller, and jailer affixes.

Mind you, we have not even seen the HARD to deal with affixes yet... Imagine waller, extra strong, lightning enchanted, fire enchanted... I'd shit my pants.

RIP HC marathoners from the other thread lol. They will be sorely dissapointed if they think they can survive without knowing the mobs and affixes and bosses beforehand.... OR the game becomes hard only at inferno.
You won't know all the affixes. I have watched almost every interview I available about Diablo 3 trying to pass the time and in at least one of the more recent ones they directly state that they are reserving some of the tougher monster abilities for Nightmare, Inferno and Hell. This is why I don't think anyone will be able to speedrun a hardcore inferno in the first few weeks - they'll be hitting monsters on Inferno with new abilities they've never seen before and not knowing how to deal with them. I'm not sure which interview it was stated (perhaps the Blizzconn one discussing inferno mode? One of the newer interviews discussing difficulty?)
