>>Not saying Inner Fire should function as easily as mana, but we definitely need more options at refilling it if not an adjustment to how it works. What is stopping you from slinging a half-dozen roars at these mages? Just saying... voice level may drop, but you should be able to easily affect him for a while, and longer with ale/masks/cyclone/shriek. It isn't like they use an appreciable amount of IF to restrict their usage. Barbarian abilities excel at being available quicker than spells. However, Inner Fire is a harder to manage resource than mana. This is the tradeoff for being a Supernatural Tertiary Guild with an excellent combat skillset placement. As for running out of IF - I can see that being a problem with Serenity. But keep in mind that a capped Serenity + Swan is pretty much immunity from magic for a time. If this doesn't allow you to immobilize, knockdown, get to melee and beat the snot out of a mage... then no amount of IF will. The Mana Torrent roar (mana drain and regen penalty) could help turn the tide back in your favor. More IF skill will also help. Meditations such as Serenity continue to see improvement from more IF skill, up to 1500 ranks.
