Keep overpower cone shaped!

[Kallis]

We got Cone truthers in here?

well that didn't take long. You know Galileo was always an idol to me, and now I get to know how he felt lol. It's like the world trying to convince me the sun is revolving around us! Does it matter, well, I mean i guess not? But why are we even having this discussion in the first place, look for yourself and see! It's plain as day!

What? Overpower was never cone. It was always a circle.

Makes sense. If you stack two cones then you can make a squared circle.

Just did a dungeon and this change is awful. It just felt like garbage. The circle gave me NOTHING positive. Killed the classes range.

Plus. WE HAD A CIRCLE > MYTHRIL TEMPEST. If people REALLY wanted to use a circle, let them just use that out of combo to pull. NOTHING STOPPED THEM.

I main warrior, and don't play any other classes seriously and this change just killed some of the identity and the fun of the class for me. Just feels bad.

Please let me know if there's a petition somewhere cuz This change is so bad, ill sign it.

i would sign it in a heart beat aswell.
talking about mythrill tempest. that was something i would do. heck in the posibility that i might have missed some with the cone or they werent targetable when is was walking to the mobs. i would just go circle.

the more i look at patch 6.1 the more i think that the people working at this dont play ff14 anymore. that means yoshida aswell. just because you purple with blm doesnt mean we can trust you with making other jobs just as good. the healer mains that cried in pain for years proved this. (been a leuker since shb, which is how i know the healer pain)

After running the new dungeon (so no problems with "established tanking patterns") I actually hate this change even more.

With no offense meant, but anyone who feels it's an "improvement", or that it "feels the same" must have just tried to tank on WAR as if it were any of the other three tank classes without actually attempting to play to its strengths.

This circle-shape really is only an improvement to those that want to level all jobs without really learning anything new, and if that's the basis on which jobs are being changed...

Man do I want the overpower back even more after running the new dungeon!! At one point you pull a mob and then theres some that spawn behind you, and overpower would have been the PERFECT tool for gathering everything up in a single gcd. Now you either remember the mechanic and just stay planted, or run forward and back

Yes, those pulls are so perfect for pre-nerf Overpower. Makes it really sting some more...

WAR main here and after doing the latest dungeon twice and a few dungeons, I agree the change from cone to circle was completely unneeded. It felt like insult to injury when it wasn't even addressed in the Live Letter, just a "let's change it like it's minor in this patch". That cannot be further from the truth; I actually struggled immensely with picking up a number of mobs and left numerous stragglers, something that is rare for me playing this class. What makes it worse is it's not even a DRK ranged circle (actually nvm, it's the same range but DRK at least has Flood of Shadows), and that excels at picking up mobs. Echoing others, the cone allowed for more depth in the back and it was excellent at grabbing a lot of mobs from running at you to grouped up to a weird angle. It felt much more satisfying to angle yourself towards the mobs and not like standing around hurt you either because Warrior gets tons of recovery. The only times I really struggle with picking up mobs with the cone is if they do not become targetable until they spawn and target the party. But that can easily be fixed if they kept the cone but removed the need to target, a decent compromise I'd say.

When I leveled up SAM to 90, I deeply missed using the cone for the first part and when I saw it turn into a circle, I dreaded if this was to become of Warrior. Needless to say, that became true.

I am hoping this gets addressed soon. Warrior is the perfect job for me (love axes, was interested in tanking, etc) and it was a shame for the first time in 2 years I was actually frustrated playing it the last 2 days.

I already did like a dng run with new overpower and it already feels akward. Running up to enemies thinking that your overpower will reach them but just missing them by a hair.
Because old cone overpower was also a targetting you also get comformation when you are in range adding another benefit on having cone overpower.

Also the new special effect looks good. But it doesnt work how my character moves. Making the whole animatiom of old overpower shit.

Edit: can some explain to me what these medals are for underneath my name. Been more of lurker than a poster.

I have been using the new overpower and I hate it.
Please revert the change back to cone.
