Overpower as a circle is perfectly fine, even better than a cone.

Circle VS cone has been a thing since ARR. My very first post was about overpower and just like then, some people hate it, some people love it. If you hated it, you just spammed flash like how you can just use mithril tempest today. The change is bad. Back to cone it must go.

People have good reasons to complain about this tho. For one it's actually a big change for us who have been used to the cone and circle Overpower feels like a nerf (it's currently 5y around compared to 8y in front of you). Secondly, no one really asked for this change (from what I've seen at least) and there was little to no transparency at all, just ended up changing it without feedback. ngl, I ended up missing a lot more mobs with this new change, which is rare for me, and this is coming from someone who used all the tanks up to at least lvl 80 so I am familiar with the circle AoE. Thirdly, it doesn't make sense visually because how I see it is you slam an axe normally to the ground and get whatever in in the line of the axe, not it surrounding you, at least that's my thinking. Fourthly, I'm currently leveling BRD and been using RDM for dungeons and they got to keep their cone AoEs but somehow WAR cannot keep their cone. Finally, I've heard of the long time concern of homogenizing the roles and how jobs will be similar to each other with different flavour for simplicity, which can be a problem in the long run.

I'm glad you are liking the circle tho, I have heard some others like you do too but bear in mind not everyone has to agree, esp from those who put in the time to master their main class. I feel this change is catering towards people who use WAR once for leveling and not for us WAR mains, which is concerning imo. While I am planning on getting all classes to 90, I do want to learn how a certain class works when I'm using them, even if it's a one and done thing until next expansion.

Just my .02.

There were already 3 tanks with circles for those that can't stand the cone, besides the advantages a cone provided as have been pointed out in these two threads numerous times by now.

As a former RDM I hadn't even realized the ridiculousness that they actually gave RDM a directional AoE with this expansion. It's not even that they got to keep it, they added it.

Really makes the change feel even worse, and even more arbitrary, too.

Were there too many tanks for dungeons maybe? Sucking the fun out of dungeon tanking was a good way for them to address the overabundance of tanks?
(/s and rhetorical question, it's been "tank in need" for most every roulette in my DC the past months, including, surprisingly, Alliance)
