What's up with the cone aoes hate?

[fulminating]

I might agree with this if, like I said, mobs didn't naturally reposition themselves around the tank, and there were two tanks who utilised just cone AoEs. Then you could claim it was simply a different paradigm. But it's not, it works counter to the base mechanics of dungeon pulls.

If the mobs position themselves haphazardly around you, it's your job as a tank to take a step back and gather them tightly again. Overpower naturally lent itself to this, so when playing casters and other 5y aoe on target aoe jobs, dungeons pulls felt a lot smoother than with say gunbreaker or paladin.
