Make all Tank AOE Combos Cones Please

[castillle]

Circle aoes bad. Cone good.

[Absurdity]

Even if this is supposed to be a funny joke, since you only ever use them in dungeons anyway and the cone's increased range is a huge advantage when pulling W2W I could legitimately get behind this change.

Not gonna lie it would be nice if you could choose between cone and circle at any time...

Think about it that'd be pretty sweet.

Couldn't you just make a cone and circle version of the AoE rotation, and let us put whichever ones on our hotbars? Game devs already dug themselves into this hole by deciding it was less work to make OP into a circle. Well, now we have a version of OP that is cone and circle. Dig yourselves OUT of this hole by doing that with all the tank AoE skills, and let us pick whether we want to use cone or aoe. I personally would prefer a 1-2 combo that alternates,

I will preemptively agree with anyone dismissing this as a ridiculous suggestion, IT IS RIDICULOUS. So was removing the cone from OP. How else are we going to fix this?

Don't feel like DRK really needs it, Flood of Shadow generally does a good job of grabbing enemies for me.

And what about once you have the pack together? Flood doesn't hit behind, so you are better off with the mobs infront.

A message to my fellow tanks: your job is not over after the pull. You are still tanking throughout the whole fight. Even GNB is just pretending to be a DPS

Not sure what you mean, I do Unleash while I run through them and shoot Flood backwards to pick up the rest

I do that too, no issues there, it is when you have everything and are standing there tanking for the DPS to take down, you still want everything infront of you for Flood/Shadowbringer, so a conal AoE with a bigger effective hitbox would be more beneficial.

Infact, every tank, except Gunbreaker benefits from having everything infront of them, and that is before you take into account DPS/Healer concerns. Though, I still think Blasting Zone should be a line AoE infront of the GNB, but that is a separate issue.

Ah, I gotcha, just seems like a minor issue to me though.
