This thread is to discuss the community standard of $&*! to watch out for in D3. If you played D2 in hell mode at all, you should recognize this evil:
So by the beta videos I've seen thus far, I've noted two things that are quite threatening and usually results in death. Keep in mind, everybody is playing Normal difficulty right now and they are still getting beaten down by these things. Inferno is really, really going to hurt.
Some randomly encountered unique monsters will be randomly enchanted. Molten enchanted monsters leave behind a fiery trail of lava that deals extremely high dps, especially if you are surrounded by multiple of them (their minions get enchanted too) or if you stand it in too long.
PURPLE HYDRA SKILL (???)
If someone knows the name of this one or has a picture to it (I don't remember which streams had it) please provide it and I'll attach it here. Basically, some type of monster summoned 2-3 purple glowing hydras that looked very Arcane-y and dealt massive amounts of damage with their projectiles. Each encounter of these I've seen has resulted in death or near-death escape.
This is a good point. And I think good players will kill them without any problem for norm nm hell. We can swap skill easy now, so if you have to use a range/defense skill, we will own them :D.
But wow player will die quick haha, DPS DPS DPS DPS DPS , die die die.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

The molten and frozen champion/unique explode a few seconds after death and the arcane are evil.
So true, my last hell hardcore character died because of me not quiting the game as soon as i got swarmed.
