Furtive chase needs something more

We all know it's only purpose is to make the rescuer the obsession. The main part of this perk (reducing terror radius) is so niche, that this perk may as well only make rescuer the obsession.

So i've came up with an idea that would get this perk a cool combo potential.

Now Furtive Chase increases your terror radius while not in a chase by 4 meters and decreases your terror radious while in chase by 4 meters for each token. Up to maximum of 4 tokens.

Why do i think this change would make this perk good? You could have a huge terror radious that would benefit:

1.Doctor (His blast)

2.Trapper,Hag(Huge terror radious would scare the survs and they could set trapps safetly)

3. Perks that benefit from big TR (Disstressing, Coulrofobia, Unnerving pressence)

4. Running perks that make you undetectable would benefit you more, because survs would usually know if youre comming from mile away.

5. Future perks based on terror radious would be an option.

The only build that Furtive chase is usable now due to its passive effect is Nemesis + Furtive Chase + MYC (if you aint playing one shot killer) and that's it.

The other idea i had is that: at 4 tokens it would reveal auras of survs outside our terror radious while in chase.

Tell me what do you think, and mods please don't move this discussion to Feedback and Suggestions. There more people will see it and there's a posibility that Community Manager will response.

    Make it so it's still active when the obsession is dead. That's it.

    I think this is a solid idea tbh. No one runs the perk, might as well make it more useful for niche meme builds.

    The fact it can be disabled so easily makes the already mediocre effect even wors and it literally can't combo with monitor and abuse for oppressive terror radius strata (but even then, no one runs the terror radius perks either so it's really just fine). Good idea :)

    That would still be useless in most cases.

    It needs to give its reduced TR in AND out of chase. Also not be removed on the Obsessions death.

    Now it's alright.

    Even then, reducing TR while in chase still does nothing.

    Or at the very least, you don't lose all your stacks. Then you could use Nemesis or eat a DS and be back to full stacks right away.

    What about instead reducing TR by 4 meters per token, it would reduce TR by 25% per token, so every killer could benefit from it? At 4 stacks you could get undectable that persist for 15 or 30 seconds after leaving a chase as @DudeDelicious mentioned above.
