I've tried it for a few weeks now, and I can say that I miss the cone. Going into this change, I was initially happy about its removal, but now I miss the range of it. It was different, but I'd gotten used to it and this new thing just feels wrong somehow. I feel like when I engage with a pack of mobs I have to run into the center of them to grab everything, whereas before I could just start from the outside of a pack, angle myself properly, and grab just about everything before the mobs could even wake up and target someone else.
