Guild Wars 2

The Shatterer has some good attacks, like waves and aoe, but they are all directed to the front of him. Also, that is where most of the mobs go during that fight. Therefore, everyone fights from the side. If people had to fight in front of him, they would have to pay attention and dodge attacks and kill mobs.

Solution: Put lots of aoe on the sides and back of him so people can’t stand on the sides. If there were to be a constant aoe like the Golem Mark II, people would be forced to fight in front, which is would make the fight interactive and interesting without any other changes.

You need to be very careful with that. Look at Tequatl. They made him hard and even with his rewards buffed twice, it’s still dead content.
