Guild Wars 2

During the Shatterer pre-event, if you stand where the Shatterer’s foot will spawn you can inflict AoE damage and melee damage by striking the air long before he actually spawns. It seems that if you do enough damage he will spawn briefly fly-off and reset at least a portion of the pre-event chain. You also hear the audio effects, randomly, of various parts of the battle.

It is thoroughly amusing to watch the Shatterer flee in terror without having actually done anything, but it should probably be fixed.

So basically same problem as the Jungle Wurm before the last patch?

I thought the problem with the Jungle Worm was basically that he goes down too fast?

Here the problem is that you can kill the Shatterer during the pre-event, i.e. up to a half hour before he is supposed to spawn. He will spawn normally after.

Ah that is a bit different then. The wurm was killable right after the pre-event but before it was fully spawned.
