Bestiary monsters take 5+ seconds to despawn instead of instantly

This is evidenced by comparing to regular rares: Mana Siphoner immediately disappears; Chaos Crystals immediately explode, etc.

Beasts on the other hand, the Crystals sit there for 5+ seconds before exploding. The Mana Siphoning donut sits there (and mana burns you) for 5+ seconds.

I believe this may affect loot as well, as Beasts feel inordinately long to drop their loot.


Edit: on the other hand, if the Beast is in an Essence, its effects disappear immediately. Well, the Essence of Rage ground effect did.

Just tested this, not correct. Standing on top of the monster with Einhar, the Mana Siphoner donut sat there for 5 seconds post-death.

This is not a bug, it's just normal beast behavior.

When you reduce a beasts life close to zero, it triggers einhars net skill (if he's in range) this skill has a cast time (around 1second) is a projectile with a travel speed (some more milliseconds) than the monster gets shocked (stunned condition, and around 2 seconds duration) and than it gets absorbed into a bloody orb to be transported to the menagery (another 1-2 second). Also einhars has a short cool down on his net, I think it's 2 seconds.

So capturing a monster takes around 5 seconds, during witch monster modifier are still acticv, like auras. Also, if you kill like 5 beast at once it can take a long time until einhars caches all of them, because of the internal CD on net, the cast time, and the short distances between the beasts, that he has to move.

It is like this since beastiary has gone core, and you are probably the first person since than, that has an issue with it.
