[dev1206] AoE changes

I prefer circular as well, I find its easier to tell the area its going to hit

I will also miss conal due to the range and also being included in the AoE. Conal was alot more effective than circular so far in XIV, but we'll have to see how broad the circular AoE turns out to be in the future. I like variety, but SE has already committed to this oversimplification ideal, this is just yet another prong in that pedastal.

I agree, thats one of the benefits I really liked with the conal AoE

Yup only thing I liked about it was buffing the party mid battle.

Is this good or bad? I'm of two minds, but what does everyone else think?

It's only bad under a certain situation, if no one stands together... which happens often.

The circular area better be enormous to make up the distance.

I do miss the Conal AoE but my latest problem now is having absolutely no clue on how to toggle a single target or AoE spell *facepalms*

Having spent some time with it so far, I can say I don't miss it and that it plays much better. :)
