I don't know if this was a bug or just the product of an angry, bitter, loanly developer. But this mob came out of no where and two-shotted me. When I respawned at my bind point, i was immediately teleported back to the 'scene of the crime', where it killed me again.
For the sake of numbers, it hit me a total of five times over the two kills, each for 384 (before absorbtion).
