Guild Wars 2

Everyone boss has a “you must dodge this” attack, either a ground target or a cone cast in front of it. Some of the targeting for it is random, but most of the time it is aimed at players.

Downed players should no longer be targeted. This would not make a downed player a target-free zone, random chance could still get them, any player standing on or near them would still get targeted, and any pre-set ones (like the spike traps in AC) wouldn’t be affected since they are set and not targeted.

To many times a shout or attack has targeted me, I’ve been downed, an then the Boss starts their “instant kill unless you dodge” mechanic and there is zero chance to coordinate a rez. If downed players drop threat and aren’t targeted until all other targets are downed as well, this would help eliminate a lot of the need for rez and run bosses.

Oh and I forgot, if we can’t abuse waypoints, add more of them!
