I will stay in this forum and reply to every single one of you coming in here with the same argument that has already been discussed several times.
This was NOT a tradeoff, moving to reposition the mobs is your JOB as a tank, and the cone was the only option to do that while maintaining uptime on the whole pack if it reached a certain size. You're still supposed to move even if you only have circles, you just have to miss half (or more) of the pack now when you do, instead of being able to time it around Overpower coming up in your rotation

I'm sure not many noticed or cared, but certainly at least your casters are annoyed at the behavior you just admitted to, which was signing up for tank role and rush headfirst into a pack of mobs, only to stand there and AoE in place until they all died off in random order. This is just bad tanking, people are coming in here acting like it was a valid preference for doing the job, and it's just not. You don't position a boss to face your party, why is it okay to do the same for adds?

I'm not trying to talk down or make anyone feel bad. I want more tanks to understand this. I want them to see the value this had and join us in asking for this back. I want my damn cone back ! Let's go !
