Keep overpower cone shaped!

[Absurdity]

When I said the information was unconfirmed I was specifically talking about the future changes. I know the current range is 5-yalms (Pre-6.1). But how are we so certain the radius forward is being changed to be shorter? Are they taking the current radius and then turning it into the overall diameter of the circle?

No, the current range on Overpower is actually 8 yalms, changing it to a circle will reduce the range to 5 yalms in diameter to keep it in line with other circle aoes and technically the range is 0 because it is cast from your character, thus making it shorter. Overpower has 2 different tooltips, one for the diameter of the cone at it's maximum and one for actual range.


Maybe this shoddy image will make it easier to explain.
Overpower before 6.1 is on the left and every other tank aoe, which now includes Overpower is on the right.

Overpower before 6.1 is on the left and every other tank aoe, which now includes Overpower is on the right.

It's 5 yalms radius, not diameter. Surface for cone (if top edge is 8 yalms wide) is 32 square yalms (8 squared halved), surface for circle is ~78.5 square yalms.

Edit: yeah, top edge was 16 yalms (8 radius, not diameter), so cone was 64 square yalms.
