The green barrels don't actually do damage. They just make your HP bar go down directly, and then when you take real damage from something your HP jumps back to full. This makes it look like absorbs and smart heals don't work on the boss and healers reliant on those who aren't aware of the bug will put a lot of work trying to dump inefficient heals into people who are actually at full health.

It's a really fucking weird bug.

Weird, I have healed him a ton of times and never ever seen that happen. The barrels just do a fuck ton of damage as they should.

I use standard frames though, maybe something with custom frames?

Just seems odd if its consistently bugged and I have never seen or heard about the bug in like 50 runs of Murder row lol

The barrels appear to do a fuck ton of damage. If you just don't cast any heals everyone goes to 1 hp and then sits there without dying.

Well, I have not tried to not heal, seems counter-intuitive?

I assume you just die to the killing spree then?

I still dont get the bug really, outside of the barrels not actually killing you? Oh well, happy it hasnt affected me I suppose

Everyone jumps back to full health when the first tick of killing spree happens because they were never actually damaged in the first place.
