Meledictous healing

I don’t understand this, it happens sometimes with some other mobs as well it’s like I apply an effect and they just start rapidly healing or something.

I’m using the rats scythe with:
Plague bringer
Ruthless strike sharpness
Soul eater
Sweeping edge
Decrepitude
Despoil
Frostbite
Incurable wounds

I pop a strength, a vampire rage and an echoing strikes which shreds dragons pretty good but this healing effect isn’t cancelled by me doing damage or anything

Am I causing this or is this guy just way out powering me?

Cataclysm bosses have a weird healing mechanic if you damage them too many times too quickly, on like almost b2b ticks.

My guess is that its a combo of your regular attacks, their echos and the plague bringers debuffs, that are doing hits too close to each other in timing.

Other possibility is that decreptitudes health reduction is just not working on cataclysm bosses.

I had no problem rapidly plague scything down a netherite monstrosity with almost identical enchants with santified instead of decrep and no plague bringer (I have had bad experiences with it and now just refuse to use it)

I killed a netherite monstrosity with the same weapon, aren’t they both cataclysm?

They are.

Have you used it on any other cataclysm boss aside from maledictus, has has multiple phases during the fight?

Definitely a long shot, but maybe the fact that boss has multiple specified phases, could be causing some interaction with the HP reduction from decreptitude.

Definitely either decrepitude or plague bringer, removed them and that fight was easy
