Maybe Savage fights will have a different map layout?
    Except, what of when the flow of the raid in and out around particular mechanics, precisely because of that limited range, (would otherwise have) made the fights more engaging anyways?

    (I guess I could see it for the more casual end or PuG side of things, but I actually like the ins and outs of combat beyond just what's provided by alternating donut and radial AoEs, and would prefer that raid timers become more regularly featured, honestly, than everything require even less thought/positioning/coordination.)
