NPC Barbarian Biteback
Raging Duergar Warriors with undispellable 20-25 biteback damage is worse than instant-casting damage shield mobs, can this be removed?
Thankfully this team is no longer being used.

Re: NPC Barbarian Biteback
Seems to be the case for all spawns with Barb rage, making certain areas complete suicide to melee in without ethereal visage.
I know bard is intended to be master race, but this is being a touch too overt about it.

Re: NPC Barbarian Biteback
It isn't just Duergar Warriors -- the Ogrillon Berserkers outside also do this, but Duergar Rogues have a rage function that does not give them biteback; this leads me to believe that NPCs with barbarian levels get the biteback effects.
I know Irongron mentioned a barbarian rework, so in theory fixing this could be postponed until then... but the mention was almost a year ago now, and as far as I know there hasn't been any more official word on when the changes are slated to come. Please don't hold off on that account!
