A glitch in Diablo 4 allows players of any class to encounter the Sorcerer experience, resulting in their sudden and unexplained death

You have the ability to adopt a glass cannon playstyle with any Diablo 4 class if you really commit to it. However, none come close to the fragility of the Sorcerer. Players have gained notoriety for the Sorcerer's tendency to die even at the mere glance of a powerful boss. But due to a comical animation glitch, all classes can experience the life of a Sorcerer by instantaneously dying for no apparent reason.

A Reddit user named Krohdo recently encountered and shared this bug while exploring what appears to be the Dry Steppes with their Rogue character. As they pass some lifeless bodies and find themselves in a seemingly safe environment, they unceremoniously and unexpectedly drop dead. This accurately captures the experience of playing as a Sorcerer most of the time. You may feel secure and in control while facing hordes of enemies or boss battles, only to be undone by a random gust of wind breaching your magical defenses.

I agree with Krohdo that this is possibly the most enjoyable animation bug in Diablo 4. It is not the first time it has been observed either. Another player encountered the same bug, referred to as the 'play dead' glitch, a few weeks ago and their character became trapped in a perpetual lying position. There is also a video clip of this animation on YouTube, though it does not appear to be an intentionally added emote. I am curious to know what triggers it or if there is a way to replicate this amusing glitch, as the way the character deflates is truly remarkable.
