I know this game has been out for a while I know you update this game and I thank you for that I really do but seriously I feel there are lots The places that you should have reevaluated during your updates and this is a glaring example 
Oh look a Minotaur is trying to punch my face in... Surely I should hold back my most devastating attack because this is obviously not something where a last ditch effort would be beneficial???? I mean seriously wtf? A Minotaur trying to punch you in the face and kill you, it's still not enough of a perilous situation to consider shatter as a viable solution? That's just lazy writing.
