I forgot a game mechanic last night and lost all the gear a Smiter I was building was wearing (Grief PB and a nice Duress AP I just rolled the most painful).
Leveling the ~65 Pally in public Baal runs and hit a map with souls. I died pretty quickly, gave it a minute, but the rest of the group was able to teleport past and go through a different portal. I went back towards where my body was to try and get it, clicked around for it frantically, but the group of souls still around killed me again. "Not a chance I'm getting that body back" I thought, so I left game and came back. Picked up my body in town and it just had a white belt on it ... none of my other gear. Apparently, when I was clicking around trying to get my first body, I picked up a belt on the ground that auto-equipped. When I died again, I had two corpses with gear. By leaving and coming back into the game it only brings the most recent dead body with gear into town. So my GFace, Gore Riders, Grief PB, Raven Frost ... all poofed. I totally forgot that was even possible.
Wanted to post and put it out there to jog other people's memory. If I save one person from making this same mistake, worth it.
