What did they do with soul-eater?

you're aware of that you can just wait like 20 sec and then the buff is gone right? or play a stronger build

In general, yes, but there are mobs with the monster modifier "Constantly revives Minions" where they literally do not lose stacks. That combo is so nasty, it shouldn't be allowed.

As the previous poster said, just play a stronger build. Once your character’s properly geared, Soul Eater enemies that endlessly spawn minions basically stop being a problem.

Lol, who said I was having problems? Besides, good luck dealing with that in deep Delve or juiced full Deli.

Blight also spawns soul eaters, where it should not anymore.
If you go with titanic scarab that adds modifiers to unique monsters, Soul Eater is still possible there.

Good luck killing that boss which is already pretty tanky in that blightheart strat. You will need one of those billion DPS builds to get rid of this shit in a timely fashion.

Maybe they could make a skill gem that's an anti-soul eater frost bomb. I could use this in Delve lol

Technically, you don't. You can keep them perma petrified with the right tower setup. It will still take ages to kill, though.

It was simply a direct response to your comment about that combo being ‘so nasty it shouldn’t even be allowed.

Same applies here… just run a stronger build.

I've leveled my HC character to 100 doing a lot of abyss + abyss scarab of multitude so you get a really high pack size. Whenever those bats spawned with soul eater I needed to kill them instantly or it'd be better to just ignore them as they would take 30+ seconds to get rid of (about 4-5x as long as the t16 map bosses). I just ignored them if I didn't damage or kill them from the get go.

I don't feel like this is a fun mechanic at all.
