"a gnoll"s in BB kick like every round
 

The scrawny gnolls were fine, but the regular "a gnolls" i fought in there were kicking virually every round of combat. Owch!

Yeah, mobs in general are doing special abilities too often. Bashing is another example. The devs are looking into it to my knowledge.

Yeah, after another day of playing i've noticed that every mob above level 6 seems to do this. Mage pets too!
