New page

[[Molten]] is a property that adds fire damage (and presumably fire resistance) to monsters, much as Fire Enchanted did in Diablo 2.

In the Blizzcon 2009 demo this modifier was also seen on some normal monsters; Molten skeletons were seen, and they appeared to have fire damage added. From this sighting players speculated that boss modifiers may regularly appear on normal monsters, adding to their abilities. Rather than Diablo 2's Burning Dead skeletons, Diablo 3 might just have regular skeletons with Molten or other boss properties.

As of Blizzcon 2010, Molten has been upgraded. Monsters with it now generate fire fields under their feet during combat, burning attackers. They also cause fire fields to appear under the feet of their attackers, guaranteeing that players take AoE fire damage during the combat, no matter how they dart around.

 [[Molten]] is a [[Boss Modifier]] that spawns on Champions, Bosses, and their minions in Diablo III. Molten monsters deal fire damage, possess high fire resistance, and most notably, create a trail of flames on the ground beneath them, which deals very high fire damage to any heroes or pets who stand in it.
 The Molten trail does not spread far from beneath the monsters, and it's possible to engage them in melee combat without standing in lava. But Molten enemies tend to move around during combat, spreading the flames everywhere and forcing players to retreat and reposition regularly during the battle.

-Monsters will leave a trail of lava in their wake and characters and their minions will take fire damage if they stand in it. In addition Rare and Champion monsters on dying will explode in a ball of fire, dealing additional AOE fire damage. Their minions do not explode on death.
+Molten enemies pack one last surprise on death, when they leave behind a core of flame that explodes after a second, dealing a huge burst of fire damage. Countless players have died to that last explosion, purely from forgetting about it in their relief at the end of the battle and greed to get the shiny loot that dropped.
