HC: How have you died and what did you learn?

Level 83 Onslaught Facebreaker Cyclone.
Cause of Death: Minus Max Lightning Thorns from the boss on Promenade. Lost focus and forgot it was minus max and didn't even flask.
Lesson Learned: Never forget about minus max in a map. Always remember to Topaz Flask on this boss especially in minus max. Focus the mage down first. Acrobatics is a good way to prevent Lightning Thorns hits as well and I may as well get it because with Immortal Call I'm immune to physical hits and armour is useless.
As a side note, I also learned that when you have awesome gear you can finally go and test stuff without fear on Standard. Which lead me to learning about how easy Vaal is with Immortal Call.

Also had many near deaths and many race deaths.

The near deaths on high level characters basically just say to watch out for bleeding, and to always keep an eye out on your buffs if you can.
As a side note on that, there really needs to be a way to more easily discern your personal buffs from party member buffs. For example, I'd like my auras, Immortal Call timer, and charges to show up first, then other auras that are effecting me to show up later. Right now it goes in order of which one affects you first.

At some point you turn off loot pick up. That's obvious.

well obviously not for me...

Cause of Death: ISP problems, 3 times.

Lessons learned: ISPs here are not good enough to play hardcore.

Didn't try Hardcore in any fashion until Onslaught.

No deaths yet, my highest is a 45. solo, self found, no grouping.

My lessons:
1. Play only until the first lag/desync occurs.
2. Kill everything.
3. Never play drunk.
4. Never leave keyboard while logged in.
5. If your feeling brave, go to Anarchy, there's Rogues in them woods.
6. Don't trust your toons life in group situations.

Working as intended so far.

Witch - 30 - Sewers

Cause of death: Discharge rare with charge on health loss.
Lesson Learned: Don't use mana rings, even with EK. Life matters.

Witch - 45 - Felshrine

Cause of death: Rare golem with increased physical.
Lesson Learned: Golems aren't worth fighting; freezing pulse may as well be a melee skill.

Witch - 13 - Cave of Anger

Cause of death: Disconnect (router crash)
Lesson Learned: Shit happens.

Onslaught - Witch - 35 - Lunaris 2

Cause of death: Kole
Lesson Learned: Don't fight Kole.

Onslaught - Witch - 35 - Lunaris 2

Cause of death: Kole
Lesson Learned: Don't fight Kole. Apparently I didn't learn the first time.

Cruel Fetid Pool is a relatively higher level than Normal Fetid Pool.

The range on Plague Wretch's chaos damage aura is bigger than it looks.

After the desynch 'fix' certain pieces of world geometry (like doorways) are especially dangerous, particularly when clogged with mobs.

Running at top speed through the prison to Brutus is dangerous when there are archers around.

Detonate Dead is a utility spell for necromancer encounters.

The rare super fast-moving, multiple projectiled Voidbearer in Cruel is a death sentence.

I died once at the start of open beta on a level 70-ish marauder just starting maps. Moral of the story: Explosive Arrow hurts... Especially without capped fire resistance.

Level 29, Vaal -- I learned that life matters... lots and lots of life.

Level 36, Economy -- Zappa is getting retired due to hitting the gear wall (self found, no grouping).

Actually, "Economy" is what kills all my characters in this game.. softcore and hardcore.

Level 1.5: Stood in terraces surrounded by zombies, did nothing.
Learned: How to transfer currency to standard.
