I play solo 90% of the time, and I've had many occasions where I wasnt far at all from the checkpoint (within a few seconds walking), and when I get to them, they have full life again. It really, really sucks, and I've been forced to leave games where I otherwise might have been able to take them down even if it took a few attempts. But when you die 3-4 times in a row and they always have their life fully regenerated each time (even if the checkpoint is close), it is pointless IMO to even try. Waste of time and gold for repairs. It's just another bullshit, cheap mechanic from Blizz to screw the player over. Weren't they speaking out against cheap stuff like this before D3 was released, and they turn around and do it?
I know for a fact that mobs don't always regenerate to full life. I'm 99% sure they do if you go to town, but otherwise it seems almost like a crapshoot. If you respawn with them "in range," which seems to be little more than a screen or two, they will not have regenerated much if at all. If you're outside that range they will almost certainly be at full health. Yes, it's tedious and aggravating, and can make some otherwise beatable packs unbeatable, but for now that's the way it is. Improve your tactics and get lucky, or farm for better gear. That's all YOU can do. Some packs will always be virtually - if not outright - unkillable for you. All you can do is live with it, and adjust for the rest of the game - at least for now.
