This seems to be a bug that all of sudden I have noticed elites that don’t have vampire status regaining health. I was just in a fight with the Butcher and got him down to his second tick that would give potions and next thing I know his health was increasing again above this. Is this a Torment 4 thing or is this a bug.

I think it’s a WT4. Happens to me all the time with the Butcher in WT4, while it doesn’t when I play with my friends in WT3.
As for the Elites, they might be cannibals type of monsters. They don’t need vampiric to regen, they simply need corpses.

Nods, I have seen it happen with Monsters though that aren’t cannibal types. Regardless figured I’d post it as a bug because I’m unsure if this is working as intended or is a bug.
It is possible though. What I meant by cannibal wasn’t the “Cannibal” family of monsters and I worded that very poorly. What I mean is that many of the “bigger” monsters (i.e. bruisers) in most monster family (except maybe the Spiders, Nangari and Goatmen) can self heal as an inate ability.
It isn’t shown under their name, but they do something (eating a corpse, sucking blood, drinking your blood through their sword, maybe even eating/sacrificing a friendly unit, etc.). I’ve seen Ghouls bruisers, Vampires (obviously), Bigger cannibals, some Bigger Drowned and even Undead corpse feeders heal themselves after that. You usually hear some “crunch” sound before they heal.
Every time I see a monster heal, it’s tied to it’s unit design or the vampiric modifier.
It could also be a glitch, but I haven’t seen one of those self-healing monsters so far.

I’ve noticed this too. Not sure if it’s a monster ability without vampiric but if so that’s a little annoying. Was thinking it must be a bug though when killing certain elites and seeing this happen including Butcher healing a little bit.

I am noticing this as well where no vampiric elites are healing. im a level 60 druid clearing tier 17 NMD but elites in the open world are taking 20 seconds because they regen half their health. It immediately stuck me as odd as they were not vampiric. Anyone know if this is intended?
