Vigil - rework idea

Vigil

When inflicted by Killer with a Status Effect, Auras of other Survivors that have been inflicted by Killer with a Status Effect are revealed to You when they are within a range of 20/28/36 metres.

Press and hold the Active Ability button while standing beside Survivor whose Aura was revealed by this perk to cleanse both them and Yourself from all Status Effects inflicted by the Killer and become immune to all Status Effects for 15 seconds.

Vigil has a cool-down of 120 seconds.

Doesn't affect self-inflicted Status Effects.


Comments: As I saw in some discussion, faster recovery doesn't help much since many popular Status Effects have permanent durations (mainly, Sloppy Butcher). With this Vigil, You can cleanse Sloppy Butcher, You can't cleanse No Mither but You can cleanse Exposed from NOED (it will be applied again after 15 seconds immunity period if Hex:Totem is still standing though).

    I really like this idea!

    The main problem that Vigil has in my opinion is that most survivor status effects don’t go away until some goal has been met so the 20% faster recovery rate meant nothing.

    This idea for reworked Vigil fixes that issue and has a really good effect (counters exposed). But I think the immunity period is too long because you could basically half the duration of haunted grounds and it could used on the entire team.

    Maybe a 15 second immunity period rather than 30? That way it requires much more coordination and planning on when Vigil should be used.

    but other than that I absolutely love this idea!

    @Tunnel_Me_Please

    15 seconds it is. I was also thinking how bad Michael would get countered by 30 seconds immunity.
