I was running missions this evening & got to one stage of a mission where I had to fight 2 Blood Drunks in the same room. I was unable to beat even one of them, which is strange as I can normally take three NPC's at a time & usually win. So I reconstructed & headed back, this time one of them had moved into the next room so I fought the one alone & barely beat him. I ran the same mission again & this time was jumped by three elite guards outside the mission area. I was able to kill all three of them without losing more than 1/3 of my health. I allow my health & IS to regen & head back into the building & again was unable to kill even one of the blood drunks.
The problem I am seeing is that they are using the blood drinking move that restores their health, they seem to be able to land this move basically every time & were using it several times each fight. Basically giving them almost double the health they would normally have & also allowing them to damage me while they heel themself.
Am I doing something wrong or is this something others are noticing too that needs some balancing?

EDIT: I take that back. Special NPC attacks should be fixed now, since the new patch. Try again, and if it ever happens again, /bug it.

Hmm, I fought a couple of Blood drunks that were orange to me and
one of them did use the Bite special.  I countered that with the
enhanced wooden stake for about 1.500 damage.  So it seems that
those items may need adjusting.

Enhanced items are supposed to do more damage to the right exiles.
