" Aynix wrote: Its not corpse. Its "soul". It needs to kill something. If you are DD and spamming desecrate all the time, it wont do anything. But if you play Skeletons/SRS for example, Im pretty sure those will count as "souls". Technically, skeletons don't have soul. Maybe zombies, depending how they are created. This is common knowledge.

" Not perma. They lose stacks over time, like players, instead having it forever like it was in the past. No, they don't lose stacks at all. We had a single mob stay alive with 90% dr for well over a minute. Last edited by Adrianwho#5154 on Apr 6, 2024, 5:22:53 PM	Posted by Adrianwho#5154 on Apr 6, 2024, 5:22:42 PM Quote this Post

" silentxthreat wrote: soul eater needs to be removed. things are immortal especially in delves where its harder to kite Couldn't agree more, a stance I've had since it was added nearly a decade ago, I'm glad at least they recongize it's a problem and are doing ANYTHING to soften or change it.

Yeah, they take forever to kill. I've started just logging out whenever I get one in the Delve. They feel like they were a million levels above everything else you're doing.	Posted by Nahuaatl#1624 on Nov 22, 2025, 9:15:54 AM Quote this Post

There is now a maximum number of 45 souls that can be consumed, with each soul providing 5% increased Attack and Cast Speed. For monsters, this buff also provides 2% less Damage Taken per soul consumed. 1 soul is lost every 0.5 seconds if you have not gained any souls recently. That's some serious bullshit. This means that every soul eater mob will have almost perma-90% damage reduction. There is zero way to mitigate this. It's really stupid to have an affix on a rare mob that makes it more tanky than pinnacle bosses. you're aware of that you can just wait like 20 sec and then the buff is gone right? or play a stronger build Ditt j*vla flöte Danne!!
