Mantid resurrection skill

I'm fairly sure the incubus just fly away/hide. Then reappear again. Similar to how the wurms dig underground, then reappear.

And actually, come to think of it...maybe the Mantids do this, as well (dig/reappear)?

/shrug You're right about the incubus, they do fly down to attack, then fly back up to hide in mid-battle. The mantids, though, I honestly think they are reviving somehow. I thought that at first, that maybe they were digging underground, so I payed more attention. I would count the group, say 5 Mantids, and when the battle was over, there would be 5 corpses - suddenly, 1-2 would "pop-up" with about 20% of their health. It looks like it's the same amount of health each time, too.

So I have no idea what's going on here. Not too annoying, but it can be - especially with minions. Everyone would start running off, and the minions of course drag behind, then a couple mantids would pop-up and pull the minions back, making them drag even further. Then we gotta sit around for about a minute while they kill the mantids and waltz back to us - or equally as annoying run back to kill them and then keep going.

I have different issue:

Monsters becoming imune to damage.

Monster suddenly stops taking damage from all sources except life stealing and degen, after few seconds it resumes taking damage as normal.

There is no enchant that would suggest stuf like SOA, it does not use any monster skill, and usually has no other monster in range which would use something on them.

It has happened for several different monsters already, last time it were inscribed ettins in bloodstone mission. The problem is not on the monster's end. It's in your team. Gadd uses Iron Mist on enemies. Familiarize yourself with it when you're around him. :V

The mantid monster skill is Parasitic Bite, provides them with a few seconds of +1 health regen at the cost of your -1 health degen. Says nothing about being able to ressurect after death; it seems like a bug in my opinion. It could be a bug as Leslie mentions. For me, proximity to the mantids seems to have an effect. If I stand around after that battle I'll have 1-3 rez over the span of about 2-3 minutes. However, if I immediately leave the area none seem to rez.

One possible explanation is the interupting of some rez by other mantids, which the game then asserts later on (through some game glitch) after all the mantids are dead. I'm not sure if these mantids use rez as I was busy healing during my encounters with them. But I do know I have been using interrupts in my group.

I have in another instance seen a player rez himself after dying. I am not sure if this was done through a skill combo glitch b4 he died, or if this was a cheat. If it was from a skill combo glitch, then these mantids could be exploiting the same thing.

Either way, I shall be performing some observatory research of these mantids in battle.
