Anecdotally Xeno just did a stream covering tank changes and explained why circle Overpower is just better.

You say that like that's a bad thing.

1. Doing backwards Overpower pulls effectively requires non-default controls.
2. Having to reposition every GCD when spamming Overpower into Mythril so you can hit everything is just clunky. If you need to reposition to group up mobs better, you can do that on every other tank with circle AoEs just fine.
3. Circle has a larger total area.
4. If you need to pick up stragglers, just use Voke or Tomahawk, though you'll likely have fewer stragglers to begin with because 3.

This is absolutely a good quality of life change. Just because it wasn't that annoying, and you've learned to live with it, doesn't mean it was good. These threads are just a study on change aversion in humans. In two weeks none of you are going to care about this.
