    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.
