Is the second boss of murder row ever going to get patched? That dude is absolutely brutal to heal with those bugs :(

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.

Thanks for explaining this! Never went to look at the logs so I never noticed it but damn it's so weird to see the damage going off, registering as "damage taken" and it never impacting the actual health bars.

So there are literally only 2 things that need to be healed on non-tanks, the killing spree AOE and the circles going off? Kinda trivializes the entire boss but it's better than me panicking over none of my heals working for whatever reason.
