How often do health globes spawn?

Question

The barbarian passive, "Pound of Flesh" increases the chance of finding a health globe by 25%.

What are the mechanics of health globes spawns? Does each monster have a chance to spawn a health globe (which Pound of Flesh increases) or is it based on some other mechanic? I'm curious to see often I would see the benefit of changing my passive.

Answer

According to the Brady guide, normal monsters have a "varying chance" to drop small health globes that will restore 20% of your maximum health. Champions have "a chance" to drop two globes worth 35% health each, and Rare monsters will always drop four globes worth 35% health each.

More specifically, the actual drop chance varies with each specific monster breed, generally corresponding to the monster's toughness. For example, Fallen Grunts have a 5% drop rate, Fallen Hellhounds have a 12% drop rate, Fallen Maniacs have a 20% drop rate, and Fallen Masters have an 80% drop rate.
