NPC Weapon Smith hitting for a TON ATTN: DEVs

I noticed during "Do Animatronics dream of Automatic Weapons" 18 Desert, the NPC Weapon Smiths hit for 400-700 damage, not a charge. If it was a charge it doesn't display the charging icon. I got dropped in about 10 seconds. Without Invuln on, those would hit me for 1/4 of my HP. Submitted a bug, but figured I'd post screenie here. I don't think it was every mob of Weapon Smiths either, that I noticed...

    Nice to know someone else has seen the same issue. I thought I was going crazy for a bit as all of a sudden weapon smith spawns (2 weapon smiths and a robotics engineer) went from hard to completely impossible. They seem to do reasonable damage at first (~50 damage or so per shot) but then it jumps up to 500 and I face plant quick. I did not see any schtick icon, nor did they seem to be doing any sort of different attack.

    I've hit this issue as well.

    yeah i was stuck having to find groups of them where there was only 1 weapon smith in thr group and i had to unload on him before he was able to get 2 of those downer shots which added with all the other damage i had taken then would just lay me out, which is odd cause i could take on super villains a level or two higher then me without dying once.

    I just did these last night with no problem at all. Sure they are tough, but doable.

    I'm Dual Blades, with Invuln and Ego sprites + Advantage if anyone's curious.
