Keep overpower cone shaped!

[RyuuZero]

playing Samurai at 6.1 was a pain, but when I saw that they Circled Overpower I thought I was seeing things! I mean.. Come On! If they REALLY want to have a Circle AoE Combo Start they just should switch Tempest to lvl10 and Overpower remains Cone but is now stronger due to it being a 2nd Tier Combo Attack, as Samurai I suffer the same stuff with Tenka Goken and it feels limb in comparison!

YEEESSSSS!

tip never demand from the ffxiv game programmers if you have a tatrum they will just ignore you for players who give reasonable feedback on how to improve the game.

If anything, every tank should have a cone AoE as it's essential for positioning a very large pack of mobs AWAY from your party. Yes you could still move with circle AoEs, but without the cone shape and extra range you miss half the pack while you're positioning away. And if you don't and just stand there spamming circle AoEs? The mobs are spread out all around you, throwing their own AoEs in every which direction! It's pure chaos! I get a huge relief from getting to move over for Overpower, after 4-5GCDs of IR, just to reposition everyone, get them all facing one way, my party can identify safe spots behind the pack, and it's all hella comfy tanking.

Not having any cone in the basic rotation is just inferior in every way, and without having levelled another tank yet, I just have no idea how it doesn't feel awful to wall to wall without it. Please don't take this away, the only players complaining about it are those who don't understand the point. They just want to stand in one spot without moving. Xeno when praising this change, cited wanting to watch netflix on 2nd monitor as why. It's a complete joke. There is no good reason for tanks to not value a cone AoE. It isn't even about job identity or flavor; every tank should have this as a basic part of their kit.

Turning Overpower into a circle is a drooling braindead move. Go play PLD/DRK/GNB if you like that.

Just because a STREEMUR says something doesn't mean his words hold any weight. This is a super dumb take.

The other tanks should still be holding mobs like they have a cone anyway, especially DRK with their line AoEs, you won't want anything behind you in those situations.

Im just here to say that I didnt read any of the back and forth arguments. I just vote to make Overpower and Mithril Tempest cones!

[ArianeEwah]

Just adding my 2 cents here, and gotta say that overpower should've remained a cone.

Yeah, yeah, I hear some of you quoting Xeno: "but circle aoe hits more stuff, the cone was so clunky, it sucked" yada, yada.

However, warrior is the easiest tank, at least in aoe/dungeon fights. You barely have anything to do, except for positioning yourself and the trash. That is now gone! And I'm gonna be honest here; I still drag the trash even with my circle aoe, so they don't face my party. I could go right into the middle of the trash and bait all the aoes here and then miss half of them with my circle aoe because the 5y are sh*t.

PS: Do you 'member that overpower was the only aoe able to hit all adds in Zurvan thx to its 8y range? I 'member.

I am still waiting for Flood and Shadowbringers to turn into circle aoes, too. We can't have different shape aoes on tanks!

Personally, I think Overpower becoming a circle is a good change and shouldn't be this debated on. Also, how do we know the cone range will be longer than the circle AoE coming in 6.1? They've never announced the official range the circular Overpower it at least from when I watched the live letters & checked the patch notes last night. Though I can be incorrect on this and have missed this being mentioned and I'm more than willing to know in which stream and time it's mentioned.

The cone range has always been more than the circle, that information was always in Overpower's tooltip.
