Act 4 Zolin keep healing to 100% non-stop

This is the stupidest boss encounter I had ever played in any game.

I am over leveled by 4 and doing over 5000 dps and Zolin just heals off a downed Zelin constantly. I even got him down to about 20% health once then he heals to 100%.
He even heals when he was just a below 100% health.

Spent over 30 mins trying to kill him but he just keeps healing.

I give up on this game, I have better things to do in my life.

Same problem here. My frostmancer just cant deal with him perma healing of off her. I guess i just have to play something else until that gets fixed. If they add a boss to the lategame maps who i cant kill with my defensive frostmage build thats fine with me but i can kill every other boss and monster so why do they gatekeep me from getting to maps?

I did this bosses by just ignorning zalina as much as i could and doing dmg to zolin so he can leech zalina's life, and once she went down enough to get few shots to took her down i killed her then worked on zolin since he cannot leech when get damaged. Difficult part is keep self away from zalina.

cant u just turn off minions and then just contagion ED the bosses with effigy?

as soon as i read its healing off of minion i just deactivated all minions and it was ezpz

IF that doesnt work for you im sorry and i hope ggg fixes it, suxx if some build just cant do specific content, like cont/ed on twisted domain doesnt spread enough

I can't beat these two either with Contagion and Essence Drain. Maybe if my curses were working, but those are bugged. Respecced to as much damage as possible and still stuck.

EDIT: Spent 30 ex on a new wand and they went down easy. Despair started working again for some reason too, but then I couldn't summon minions. IDK. New wand and my one curse working was enough.

Idk why but I was having this issue too, I ran to the crystal at the top of the arena and for some reason the boss stopped healing. I just fought from up there. Not sure if it was that or the proximity. Zolin was standing on the corpse of the other boss while I was killing them from the top of the stairs.

I found kind of a temporary workaround. I ran into this issue myself today, so I was experimenting with a ton of different things, but what I thought of was the Skeleton Cleric. He heals, but through regeneration. So because I'm near the top of the tree, I actually took the node that reduces life regeneration by 75% for enemies in your presence. And it does indeed work at stopping as much regeneration. He became so much easier, and I was able to kill him because he only regenerates like a centimeter worth of health with that node. If you're close to him.

Hope that helps people out!

I think it's a bug. I mean, Zolin keeps leeching from Zelin. How does that make sense? At some point he should've leeched everything from her. Let him leech like 2 times and that's it. So I guess it's not working as intended, because builds without much damage can't win this.

The boss is bugged, it can't die sometimes, it will hit 0 HP and still not die. You have to redo the entire area to fix it. One of many bugged bosses in the last patch.

It's a mechanic designed to teach players they need something in their toolbelt to deal with enemy health recovery - you found a way to solve the puzzle!

This is not a temporary solution - you need to fight this boss duo in the endgame atlas as well, and it also works there as a solution. This also helps in many scenarios where other bosses/rares might recover HP in other ways.

Most people choose to overcome this sort of problem indirectly with high damage, which can become an issue when you start doing zones with mods that give enemies more life, and you less damage. It's better to address it head-on, as you have with this node, as it is more reliable and always works, even if it means "number go down".
