    One thing I hate about playing WAR is how your main AoE is targeted.

    This means when you use Overpower, your character automatically turns to face the enemy you have targeted (and you are required to target an enemy to use it).

    All other tanks have non-targeted AoE, which means I am free to run circles throughout the group of mobs, dodging AoEs like mad, while laying down AoE damage the whole time. The only exception is DRK's wave blade thingie (flood of darkness or what-not?) that is targeted. But you only use that every 30 seconds or so to keep the buff up because it eats MP like crazy.

    But WAR's Overpower makes it rather difficult to dodge AoEs because your character is constantly being turned in different directions when you're trying to dodge at the same time, especially in some dungeons where enemies like to use AoEs every few seconds, and it's also annoying to have that happen during a pull too.

    EDIT: Fact is in some situations I'm starting to wonder if it isn't better to just spam Mythril Tempest and forget about Overpower at least until you have the pull under control simply because it is a non-targeted AoE.
