All-mods is amazing! I wish they'd do a league with all-mods for the entire duration instead of the couple days sprinkled in on this one.

Ripped my cyclone duelist at 52 to a pack of sparking mobs in a small enclosed room (blue necromancer mob, didn't get a good view of the rest in the room, was a tiny jail cell room jam-packed, maybe an invasion boss in there). Spun in, sparks flooded the room, mashed all my pots and alt-f4'd asap but it wasn't fast enough. Had 2300 hps, 76% phys reduction and 75% all resists but got melted like butter in a super-heated skillet.

I assume you were in Merc? Isn't the general idea that you need to have max resists and 3-4 k hp before walking into merc if playing hardcore? I'm asking because I dont play HC that often as I tend to get lazy and have at least one death around 50-60 and I hate losing all that work.

Nah I was in act 2 cruel. I was rolling pretty much everything and able to lifesteal through some huge packs of mobs/damage due to lgoh and whatnot with spinning (especially with my pots on top of it). Shock stacks for the lose I guess, or maybe I had a bunch of misses/slight desync, who knows.

Oh yeah if it was in that place, on level 3 the necros do lightning curse and there's a bunch of lightning mobs too so you can kinda explode quickly even if you're capped on lightning if you're not careful. But yeah gonna rip once in a while especially if you're not extra careful.

Yeah i'm sure there was a conductivity or ele weakness involved. It wasn't a rip that frustrated me, honestly. The last rip I got mad over was when I had to afk for literally 20 seconds to open the door and I ripped in merciless docks back in beyond as a level 65 duelist with a less than 1 hour old 6L belly of the beast etc. while having 0 mobs on the screen when I got out of my chair. That one had me frustrated for a solid 3 days. Yes, I know it was retarded as hell to not TP to town.
Like you say, always gonna rip every now and then (that's half the fun of hardcore). I watched multiple people in the top 20 rip over the weekend with all-mods on.
Not sure what I want to do for my next build. I've got a decent amount of currency and items that I could sell for even more (or use for some builds). I don't like to do the same build over and over and over again so after having played for so long it gets harder for me to actually pick a build that I have fun playing (instead of feeling like i'm just repeating the same thing i've spent 200 hours doing before like dual totem witches, LA/Tornado shot, etc.).
I always try to sort of go unique in my builds (even though i'll loosely follow guides as far as stats/items to aim for, I try to put my own little spin on it as far as minor tweaks/etc.) but i'm starting to feel like there aren't many skills left that I haven't played repeatedly in the normal thru maps game (other than skills that require a super-expensive twink and build to be viable because if you don't have 10+ exalts (on the challenge leagues) worth of gear then you just can't feasibly do it.

Initial stages of Lockstep Desync removal goes out tomorrow. Pretty big beta patch.
I'll be hitting the flicker strike pretty hard to see what's up.

I have only been sort of following the game, decided last night to reload it. What does this patch do?

There will be a wipe of characters and stashes with this patch.
Skills with known issues with lockstep mode:
Dominating Blow
Vaal Cyclone
Flicker Strike (when using cooldown bypass)
When using cooldown bypass on other skills may also have issues
These will be fixed as soon as we can.
EDIT: The beta realm will be down for around 30 minutes.

Alternate netcode basically, you can now pick whether your client should predict how the server will react and sometimes get it horribly wrong, causing desync warp (which is on live servers), or wait for the server to send them info and then let you move, giving you some delay on your actions, but preventing the client and server desync.
