Some beasts can be beefy, especially if you are not playing a high dps build ( well pretty much everything can have a somewhat high dps now tbh, but there can be huge disparities between builds )

It was one of those red skulled beasts, & it was a devourer, usually i just avoid it if i can't bring it's health down, i'll have to improve my dps

it doesnt really matter that much because you are dealing less and less dmgwith every stack.
the thing is,i cant remember a situation outside of newer league content where it was a problem.
i´m not saying it cant be problematic for some players,i just dont remember any bad situations.

the only exception to this are "newer" encounters where a lot of monsters spawn abyss,red beast bestiary and pre nerfed fortification encounters. (maybe delve too)
spawning or rather "summoned" monsters shouldnt give stacks for souleater to put it in line with rampage stacks and flask charges.

Actually, the difference (theoretically) matter. You would deal with these 2 mods in different ways. Frost bomb (regen) and penetration (ele res) for example.

But ye, mob get nuked anyway 99999% of times, so who cares.

i didnt check on the wiki but you posted "dmg reduction" and not inc resistences so penetration should not work against it.

You right. Confused with the player buff (wich isn't even true anymore since no ele res for us as 3.0 kicked in).

Well, principle hold true. Different defenses need different ways to be dealt with.

Some monsters should have life regen such as players do, not bosses necessary though. GGG could rework those big insects with adds. The last boss (Desert?) was a dps check and I'm not too keen on them. Little insects, let them be killed with one-shots.

But I like idea of rares doing comebacks similar to Exile hitting flasks. You can dream, no?

Oh right, that'd make the game impossible with damage spikes. That's balancing late end-game around HC, a.k.a. human-missiles I remember back in Leo daily arena. They were hilarious in their own context for someone who hadn't seen any videos. My computer couldn't handle the lag.
