Keep overpower cone shaped!

[Shurrikhan]

I can't believe people are actually upset by this change. No matter how you look at it, a circle AoE covers more area than a cone does. Especially when you consider that enemies can not 'stack' on top of each other in this game. This means no matter what, when you get a lot of enemies together, they are going to naturally pile up around you in a CIRCLE. By making this change, this means you have to MOVE LESS to continue your AoE combo. Meaning that the DPS on your team is not getting screwed over by you backing up constantly to hit enemies with your cone.

The cone was roughly 150 degrees. It had an 8-yalm radius. (150/360)8²π = 83.8 sq yalms.
The circle has a radius of only 5 yalms, costing you 60% of your range. (360/360)5²π = 78.5 sq yalms, only 39.25 of which face forward.

Even if you were to stand perfectly in the middle of the enemies as to get value out of the otherwise wasted 39 sq yalms behind you, purposely not doing your job in gathering them as tightly as you could, the circle is still a smaller area.

In short, the cone has a 7% greater area, and 213% greater forward-facing area. Your statement is patently untrue.
