Keep overpower cone shaped!

[MiaShino]

Anecdotally Xeno just did a stream covering tank changes and explained why circle Overpower is just better.

Will have to watch that. Hate circle aoes when playing tank. Have lost count of number of times they drift behind or simply wiff and miss targets two micro millimeters in front of you.

1. Doing backwards Overpower pulls effectively requires non-default controls.

Standard on controller, should be made standard on PC as Legacy is far superior in every single way.

2. Having to reposition every GCD when spamming Overpower into Mythril so you can hit everything is just clunky. If you need to reposition to group up mobs better, you can do that on every other tank with circle AoEs just fine.

Overpower cone was most wide and will hit targets to left and right of you. There is no reason to wiggle reposition into the center then back again.

3. Circle has a larger total area.

Yes. Around you. Which is fantastic if the mobs are already grouped up around you.

4. If you need to pick up stragglers, just use Voke or Tomahawk, though you'll likely have fewer stragglers to begin with because 3.

Nothing quite so riveting as flicking through targets that are behind you on controller that game refuses to target because they are now no longer within the camera. Or, or I could Overpower backwards onto the mob I already had targeted not only hitting the stray mobs but doing so with massive potency gain over Tomahawk.

This is absolutely a good quality of life change. Just because it wasn't that annoying, and you've learned to live with it, doesn't mean it was good. These threads are just a study on change aversion in humans. In two weeks none of you are going to care about this.

It was never annoying. Watched friend figure out backwards Overpower and other techniques her first time through Sastasha. Fricken Hall of the Novice teaches you how to aim Overpower. Good thing I still have Flood of Dankness, wonder when that will become another circle aoe so I cannot aim that one backwards either. Mmm, cannot wait!
