Should terror radius perks be reworked or buffed?

Specifically the perks that require survivors to be in the killer's terror radius in order to work (Overwhelming Presence, Coulrophobia, Unnerving Presence).

It seems like those perks don't really get much use (unless you play Doctor with Distressing). Should these perks be reworked or buffed?

    Unnerving Presence needs a direct buff. The 10% increase in Skill Check chance is too small. Also, this perk does not work on Great Skill Check.

    And so, I would tie the skills you wrote to a fixed 40 metres.

    I wish they had some kind of lingering effect simular to how the survivor aura buff perks lingers for 15 seconds after leaving the radius.

    Probably doesn't need to be quite that much but it would make a big difference

    unnerving presence should work like old ruin in terror radius but less oppressive (for example, hitting a good skill check pauses progression briefly rather than actively regressing)

    Oh hey, that's my idea too! Agreed!

    To the topic of the thread, I think the other two both just need a lingering effect and they'll be perfectly acceptable niche perks. Not meta, obviously, but usable.

    Most need a buff but I dont think they need a rework just some number changes

    The one buff I feel they've needed is the lingering effect when a survivor leaves your terror radius. In fact I find it odd that the first perks to have an effect linger after leaving the radius is Leader (I think) and one of the Boon Totem perks.

    Basically Unnerving Presence and Overwhelming Presence would be more useful and have more uptime if by the time you were done roaming the map in a certain area even if you missed a survivor it would have some sort of impact. Think of it this way - More than likely when a survivor is in your terror radius they're going to stop performing an action and hide. Therefore they are not doing skillchecks for Unnerving Presence or using items (Toolbox on gen / Medkit on survivor) to lose charges quicker for Overwhelming Presence.

    Therefore it is the most logical buff to give these perks a lingering effect - Forcing the survivor to either wait them out to not be effected by them or power through the effects to save time.

    to TL;DR - Give all Terror Radius perks a lingering effect. Literally been saying this for years it's the only buff that makes sense for them.

    Pretty much what everyone is saying give it a lingering effect so it’s not completely useless then buff the rest

    I fell like starstruck shouldn't rely on TR. It makes it weaker in low TR killers and stronger in killers with high TR that you can amplify even higher with perks. It should be a fixed radius.

    I've always wanted them to buff Distressing from 26% extended terror radius to 28%, thats all! The only killer that can fully utilize perks like Unnnerving Presence/Overcharge and Distreressing is Doctor
