so im in pvp,(or pve...doesnt really matter)
and i find myself my next victim (little yellow alien)
i walk up to them and fire my bow.
the next thing i realize is ive lost my buffs and have less than 100 health, which my opponent easily killes me in one quick move.

the problem? a barrel.

i know barrels are made to make pvp/pve more exciting and strategic, and i agree!
the only problem is that players should not be able to target them unless you deliberately touch the barrel and attack

solution: make barrels only go off when you purposely hit them, or set them off by a skill (blast shot, firestorm, stomp)

easy enough, let me know what you think!
