Are they ghouls after your own heart?
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Is that what it is? I've been wondering what it was supposed to be.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
It could also be interpreted as the Ghouls, after seeing one of their comrades die have become angered. The adrenaline rush has caused them to ignore some of their wounds.

Yes, you learn to either:
1. Kill them one at a time.
2. Kill them simultaneously.
3. Make the killing blow a knockback one with the Nem Staff so they're out of heal range.

I watched Warcrow get eaten by them last night while my Broadsword/Fire Scrapper injected one of those +Recovery Temp powers (I love them so much) and went to down on the lot of em,
Once I cleared the map and ambushes I must have dragged Warcrow to safety as he was back in the Resistance hub when I got back there.
I love fighting them now (unlike the bloody Clockwork)

I consider them to be just barely above true zombies. As such, I doubt they'd really care too much when one of their colleagues dies.

This still doesn't explain why the intelligent Ghouls in the Neutropolis tunnels heal each other when they die. Those are very much not mindless zombies.

Yep, and it is nice to see knockback have some real use. Was loving Propel while killing these.

If you confuse one while dying does that mean *you* take a bite?

Do they heal you if they die confused? From what I've seen in mixed-enemy missions with Ghouls, they don't heal other factions even if they're otherwise friendly to each other, so I'd be kinda surprised if they do. (Plus the problems with confusion ending when they die.)

I know, I'm a little late to this, but I love the Ghoul special power... now that I figured out why it happens.
PHASE 1: "Man, they take a long time to die."
PHASE 2: "Huh, so when they're flailing around they have green waves coming off 'em."
PHASE 3: "Wait, that green wave healed his little friend."
Phase 4: "... THEY'RE STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT TO GRAB A SNACK !?!!?"
It is not only a really excellent power from an rules-law standpoint (herd THIS, monkeyboy) but it's disgustingly wonderful from an RP standpoint.
Someone said "Good thing ghouls don't rez" and I was like "They'd never finish. 'Still hungry...' "
