Personally, one of my least fave is vortex~arcane.....they pull you right back in to the death zone. Waller +arcane is pretty serious stuff too. I do love the affix combos in this game. Extremely fun and random yet sometimes my keyboard is punished quite severely.
Gotta love invulnerable minion, horde/minions, arcane and a tight passage.
That's a nice rave you got going there. Awesome laser light show.
Far as I'm aware all mobs connected to a Yellow is a minion, and horde just means there are more of them. I'm pretty sure you can't get Horde on a blue pack.
Yeah... I knew that. I was sure there was a "minions" affix too though. I think sometimes it appears as minion and other times minions. I got confused somewhere thinking minions added more but less than horde or something.

I am pretty sure, there is no such thing. What would a "minion" enchanted mob do, anyway?
Minion is for the non-yellow (white) mobs in a rare pack, that's all.
I'm tabulating my experiences with affixes on champ and rare packs in Inferno. I'll post when I have something like 1000 mobs in the table and we'll see what it looks like. I can't wait for the results!
Arcane + Waller screws my Sprinting Barbarian so much it hurts. Sometimes they come with shit like Jailer, Frozen, Extra Health or Molten/Desecrator...
God I hate that build against champs/rares it's awesome for mowing down minions and moving like the Flash though
This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. The insect swarm was Horde, Arcane Enchanted, Plagued, Reflect Damage, Mortar (yeap 5 affixes). The shamans were Arcane Enchanted, Molten, Reflect Damage, Mortar.
Met the the former while kiting the latter.... );
Both Arcanes faded cos the screenshot was taken a few secs after death when I was looking at what we were dealing with lol, so no disco lights in the SS~
What I love most is big illusionist packs which vortex you in, then immediately surround you and you can't escape. I now just chuckle whenever that happens to me. Sometimes Blizz are just mean.
On my monk I use BoH with Pertinent Flame rune to escape from that. It causes fear for 1.5 sec + 8k heal. A very handy utility skill in case anyone was interested in how to get rid of body blockers with a monk.
On my WD, I find that teleporting and vortex are the hardest to deal with. I rely on being able to control the fight. When I have mobs (esp heavy hitters) landing on top of me, or moving me towards them; those are fights that I will die on. Waller is annoying, only because they fire walls off like they are on crack sometimes. And its possible to be walled in and unable to move at all.
Arcane isn't too bad, the hardest thing is their random starting point. And then my tendency to run "with them" and not against them.
I think desecration is the worst though. Those pools persist forever after the pack is killed.
People don't talk about that affix enough. It's one of the absolute worst when paired with many other affixes due to the loss of control to your char.
I remember Blizzard saying (during development) that they really didn't like skills that removed your control over your character. I wish they'd listen to themselves...
They did state they're looking into Nightmarish creatures chain-fearing characters. It's going to be fixed in one of the next patches.
THIS IS HOW I DIE.

tbh, having that many lasers with about 20+ icebombs and a few walls is nice too =P

This made me lol hard.
Anyway, I love hard packs. Makes the game feel... what's the word I'm looking for... Infernal.
