The stupid cone is the sole reason I haven't played WAR until now. I get that it's likely a "what you're used to" kinda thing, but having started with DRK, moving to GNB, circle AoEs are simply so much more natural and efficient. You can position yourself equidistant to all mobs and reliably pick up aggro. With a cone, you're factoring in an arc and two distances (edge of the arc is further than the middle) on the move, in a split second, and you don't get any kind of visual indication of what the arc is. Is it 90 degrees? 70? 120? I have no idea.
Most people I've encountered have had the opposite opinion, and not just tanks either.

I'll agree that the visual indicator could've, and probably should've, been better, but the covered area is also something that becomes clear with use.
