Do bosses reset in D3 if you wipe on a boss or do they stay at whatever health you knocked them down to after you rez? Been quite awhile since I played D2, but I recall that the boss damage stayed..so if you had crappy gear and didn't mind dying a few times, you could take down the boss.
well, theres also another issue, Remember the blue post we got about events with bosses? some of them are scripted and take place in stages/events. (One of the reasons all party members need to accept) So some bosses might HAVE to reset in order for it to work right? only time will tell.
as far as we know (and from the last time we were told) bosses should have saved hp for when you wipe (D2 was like this as well)
Are you sure?.. this doesn't sound logical to me.
If you die, boss should reset its health. Otherwise, whats the challenge? =/
Just die and try until you lower him to 0. Sounds ridicules ;/
little nooby sidequestion here^^ i just realised that i actually dont even know what happens if you die XD do you have to get your corpse back if you are alone? i know you can be rezzed in a game with friends but how does it work alone? i have the beta but i never died XD
You just res with all your equipment, No corpse runs, but suffer durability loss on all of your items.

This is just off old info, nothing is for sure.
thats how d2 was, and thats how sub bosses are in d3, theres no reason to think that bosses would be differnt (other than the reason listed in my second post). Remember bosses don't even drop loot that we totally care about. (until we get more information on the champ/rare tie in) so its not really a big deal if they save HP
Also keep in mind your team can just revive you, this puts playing by yourself a bit lower, which is something they dont want. hints another reason health would be saved.
We'll find out...someday =(
ps: I only tested dying on the SK for health saving once, back in patch 8 or 9, so ill test it again in patch 14 to see if something changed, but I doubt it (even tho hes only a sub-boss it still would show the design idea they are going with)

As you said it scripted, you put the crown on. So it will always reset.

Even if its scripted, the whole encounter wouldn't necessarily have to start again. The boss could just stand there.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
but thats not always the case, bosses dont always reset to their pre-activated state when you die, thats the kind of stuff we just dont know (how event driven all the bosses are going to be).

From what I've seen in beta footage you respawn at your last checkpoint with all of your gear on you. No corpse runs.
Also. in D2 in the harder difficulties enemies and bosses could have health regen so if you died and it took yo a while to get back they may still end up getting full life back.
