Reducing the radius by 40% is an effective 64% reduction to area size since area is equal to π*r2. Which as I've stated ends up being about ~1/3rd of the current size.
OH my bad, I was talking radius and you're talking about area. Yes, reducing radius by ~1/3 reduces overall area much more.
So I'm assuming you meant "40% reduced AOE" instead of "40% reduced radius"? That would be a reasonable nerf.
Yep "Reduced whirlwind AOE damage radius *by* 40%", in other words, it's 60% of its original size.
Reduced whirlwind AOE damage radius by 40%
Tornado absolutely needs nerfing, but this seems way too knee-jerky... For people too lazy to do the math - the new area is going to be ~1/3rd of the current one. Also is this just the damage zone or also the "pull" effect?
The new area is ~2/3rds of the previous one. Only damage zone has been adjusted; pull effect is unchanged.
It’s called Whirlwind in the code, and code never lies

Tornado, Dan. It's called Tornado.

Read moreHi Krashy - FYI we will be doing a hotfix next week that happens to address some of these issues:
* Decrease Vowguard aggro/disengage radius, and change behavior if they are attacked from far away
* Reduced whirlwind AOE damage radius by 40%
* Fixed ignited whirlwind damage stacking with flame/flame wall damage
* Fixed ignition getting applied while inside an ignited whirlwind (ignition should only be applied after you leave flames)
* Reduce maximum damage of Wind Shear by 1 for all rarities.
* Lobby will now immediately start match if all players have connected/finished loading.This is not the totality of balance updates for Chapter 2 - expect more in the next official patch. We also released a hotfix patch for PC/PS4 today to resolve some crash issues and reduce hitching in Battle Royale. (XBox and Switch coming soon - waiting on approval from MS/Nintendo.)
