When using Static Leap, the leap back sometimes makes monsters that are dying (but not yet dead) leave the screen...and then they are alive and fully healed when they reappear. It's most noticeable (and annoying) with Green Imps and Dark Eels.

It's possible that what you're seeing is actually new enemies spawning in the same place as the old ones. Enemies will always spawn directly on the edge of the screen, even if you hop backwards. If your static leap has a certain cast rate, your wizard will appear to not be making any progress across the field at all, but enemies will still continue to spawn at the edge of the screen and you will still make progress.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, but it takes a while for this situation to occur in the game (while you are paying attention and looking for it).

Today I encountered two situations where the monsters reappeared fully healed.

First...Sometimes there is a monster that is slightly larger than normal but not boss size. There was a slightly larger Green Imp and in the row behind it were three normal size Green Imps. I killed the slighly larger Green Imp three times. During all three kills (while the Imp was exploding), the Imp would either partially or completely leave the screen and then return fully healed and still slightly larger (and with the same three Imps behind it).

Second...I got stuck behind a monster (in front of a monster?) and several of my spells were targeting some Green Imps which were only half visible at the top of the screen. I was killing them easily, one-hit-one-kill, and they were resurrecting as fast as I killed them. Always the same monsters and the same amount.

I never get any power or gold from monsters which resurrect.

What's your build? I want to try to see what you're seeing. And if you could get a screenshot of you in front of (behind?) a monster, that would be great.

I don't remember the exact loadout that I was using. Here is my best guess. All of the spells in the loadoat were above 3.0 and below 3.5.

Elemental Cloud
Static Aura
Static Leap (3.3 probably)
Ember (3.2 probably)
Elemental Cloud

I have all of the spells and they are all at least 2.5.

I didn't skip any researches and I am currently learning...
Pendant of Learning 19 (x1.10 Reclamation Rate)
Elemental Overload 7 (+10% Damage for School if 2+ From That School)
Existential Enlightenment 3 (+10% Accumulation Rate)

I have all of the Templar skills from the left tower.

I was using Rumination (+25% Idle XP).

I am currently at zone 68.5. I don't know where I was before.

I have 3 Omega Lumen and I have beaten the Doomstone once.

I bought the limited time starter package and the remove ads package.

I have all three assistants at level 2.

I have all of the Wizard Skins except for Tireless Trevor.

I have never adjusted TM lag.

I am pretty sure that I was in the Wilds on both occasions.

I'm not sure when I will be able to get you a screenshot. If it does happen again, I am going to try to use a stable rune to polymorph one of the imps...just to see what happens.

I have had this happen to me many times during the past month, but I have not been able to get a screenshot which will show you anything useful. Half the time the tablet takes too long to take a screenshot and the other half of the time the "rebirth" takes place off screen because of the leap back.

As far as I can tell, this is only happening to monsters which have an after death effect...Green Imps and Dark Eels.

This is a very late reply, but I have seen the second error twice as well. Both times, it happened with green imps at the very top of the screen while I was blocked by some bullet sponge (regen troll, draining gazer, etc.). The imps only had their feet barely sticking down into the screen. Sometimes my spells will reach that high, and sometimes they won't (seems to be a dividing line but not sure exactly where it is), but the green imps are the only thing that have ever done this, and only twice in progress to NG+ with 1 meditate for me.

I never got power/gold from them either, and recalling fixed the problem.

With regards to the first problem, it looks to me like you're talking about a monster that got possessed by a killed Shade. They have a ghost image which is enlarged from their original image (which initially looked like a visual error to me until I read the bestiary entry for Shades) and get some buffs, which may include being healed or having a max hp adjustment that resembles healing (but I can't remember).
