Keep overpower cone shaped!

It requiring a target meant you could make maximum use from the area. The circle doesn’t require a target and “misses” half the time even when mobs are standing clearly in the animation.

For an AoE OPENER specifically, yikes this is just so bad. I feel for you PLD DRK, GNB mains, i really do. The way you all have been dealing with this that I now have to do, it just feels like such garbage and we all deserve better, not just WARs. A tank's AoE opener should be a targetted cone, of some kind in front. It should have just a bit more range than the radius of your point-blank AoE, which is still great to have as the general rotation skill. It should just go back to exactly what we had before.

I still stand by my suggestion of compromising by splitting it into 2 different weaponskills; they don't both need to be on the hotbar, just in your ability list. Let them use the circle opener instead, if they really insist, but please at the least give it back to those of us that were using it. Grace those with it who have been tanking all this time without. The only mistake with cone AoE that I can tell, was making it WAR-specific. It's a general-purpose tanking tool that should not have been tied to WAR identity, at least not after major homogenizing changes made to tanking in general. Basically as soon as WAR got access to provoke, I don't see why PLD didn't also get a cone AoE.
