Please don't make overpower a circle!

[Dhaid]

I read, while looking over a live translation of the live letter today, that tank aoe's would be made simpler. I really hope that doesn't mean overpower's changed from a cone! I've been a warrior main since 4.0, and I desperately don't want to see overpower made into a circle since the cone is way more fun for me and allows me to do a bit more interesting stuff rather than just 'gather up and aoe, dummy'

1. Enemy got aoe's around em? No problem, just overpower! You're outside the range of the hit anyway and now you can still do some aoe damage despite no ranged aoe!

2. awkwardly placed packs are much easier to grab with the cone as it's able to go a bit further than just a simple circle (8y vs 6y)

3. The cone isn't so restrictive as to require you to jump back into a pack every single time you need to do your mythril cyclone, since it's actually got some range to hit enemies beside you as well

Overall, I would be having much less fun with warrior and the thought of overpower changing in this way is just making me dread 6.1. I really hope that it's just a mistranslation from where I read it, or I misunderstood it

Overpower takes a bit more nuance to used compared to the usual circular aoes but it has advantages and adjusting for it is not... Super skill intensive or anything, so I'm going to be sad to see it go.

Like the range on the cone is MASSIVE. You can run through an enemy as you're grabbing packs, tab the closest enemy and overpower behind you and hit everything that's still running towards you.

Overpower has been a cone for 9 years but now its too difficult to use lul. Another stupid change for the sake of homogenizing the tanks even more.

Im a warrior main. Overpower is annoying to use. I dont like to run around every GCD just to be able to hit everything. Who cares about AOEs, u r a warrior, stand in it and heal through it.

Honestly, they could have just reversed the combo order of Overpower and Mythril Tempest. It's easier to hit all enemies with Overpower after you've gathered them. Even just changing the range to 180 degrees in front of you would have been very effective, while keeping the satisfaction of using the skill intact.

Circular Overpower is not a make or break change for WAR, but it isn't necessitated by anything either. It still sucks because it takes away how good it feels to use the skill. It's concerning because such changes are green-lighted when far more pressing matters aren't even addressed.

I would imagine physical ranged LBs being changed from column AoE to circular are coming up soon as well. Or did they change that too?

I really hope that doesn't mean overpower's changed from a cone!

... So did they actually say that's what they're gonna do, or is this just panic outta nowhere?

[Absurdity]

Regardless of whether or not they actually plan to turn it into another circle aoe, if this

is too complicated for some people then I seriously don't know what to tell you.

I wish to know this as well, this is literally the best aoe for me when playing any tank. It was one main reason I chose this when leveling a tank on ps4 because it literally hits the whole world sometimes. If this is an actual change I may riot.

I'm just glad they looked at all the feedback and decided that WAR of all tanks really was struggling in dungeons and this was a change worthwhile to make.

The cone is clumsy and so are other players.
