Timbersaw's Whirling Death and Timber Chain interaction

I sometimes see Timbersaw doing Whirling Death right before Timber Chain started to move Timbersaw to a tree.

How does this mechanic work?

Does Whirling Death do damage in the area of the start point or in the entire path till the trees or even at the end too? This would maximize the AOE by a lot.

I myself played a lot of Timbersaw but always play it safe (no fun allowed). That's why i never used both spells in conjunction (i was not sure if i was wasting the nuke because i dont get the mechanics).

So can i increase the AOE by using Timber Chain with Whirling Death?



Best Answer

Whirling death deals the full damage right after the spell is cast; the animation is nothing more than eye candy visuals. Therefore, whether you cast it before, during, or after timber chaining, the range stays the same: 300 AoE centered at the casting point.
