Soul eaters

Genuine question to GGG (no hate, no trolling, etc.) - what purpose this mod has, besides trolling players into certain death?

I am doing a lot of breaches, and everytime I see soul eater mob - I either must just run away and abandon juiced up breach, or risk facing 600% more dmg/more atk speed/more speed monster which will probably 1shot me through 6k life, 90% res and 50k armour.

And the worst part is - You can't even build up your character defenses to counter soul eaters. They will simply ramp up their stats so high - your defenses doesn't matter anymore.

So again the question to GGG - what is the purpose of Soul eaters? to troll players? Getting soul eater in breach, expedition, abyss, DELVE, around blight is just a ticking time bomb - you get lucky and soul eater quickly dies, or it's a tanky mob and it ramps up to infinity.

Yeah. I had one which also had "Siphons Flask Charges" turn up (a yellow Einhar beast), and killed a character which hadn't died in a very long time. ='[.]'=
