Opinions on Thanatophobia?

What are your opinions on Thanatophobia and how would you change it?


I would make the perk do this: Thanatophobia: for every dying, injured, hooked, or dead survivor, gain a stackable penalty of 3/3.5/4% to repair, sabotage, healing, cleansing, chest searching, exit gate opening, rescue time, locker hiding and leaving speed, and escaping from bear traps. Also affects vaulting speed but only by 1% for every dying, injured, hooked, or dead survivor. 


What do you think of that change and how would you change the perk?

    remove rescue time and locker thing, those would break saves if the killers near and has everyone injured, and the locker is kinda pointless. the other changes are okay but honestly if thana was to get get a buff id rather a small increase toe the repair and healing % as thats most useful

    I think it's a decent perk, could be a lot better tho.

    Could probably use a slight boost to the numbers. 3/4/5% per injured survivor. That means up to 20% instead of 16%. Maybe I just like round numbers.

    It's fine how it is.

    All they need to do is make dead Survivors give Thana stacks. Currently you lose the stack when they die and it's dumb.

    I'd like it if dead survivors gave a stack of 1% more than the usual stacks (don't know the numbers offhand.) At least, like others have said, have it count dead survivors.

    Thanatophobia is literally the fear of death. I get it. The dead can't fear death. But the living fear death more when others are suddenly dying off.

    I think it's balanced. The effect is small unless you injure people. Pairs well with Sloppy Butcher. The numbers could maybe receive a tiny increase, but I'm content with where it is at the moment.

    Thana is a bad perk, it's effects are negegible, and it pretty much exists to very, very slightly buff other perks in some situations. But, it is very, very difficult to buff it, because then it could become absolutely cancerous when combo'd.

    Thana is really weak considering it's effect. Especially the time it actually adds on to actions which is really low.

    Increase the numbers in tier 3 to 5% so when all survivors are hurt it's 20% reduction. Also make it count towards dead survivors.

    Underwhelming and contradicts itself. Thanatophobia is the fear of death, yet dead survivors don't count. This perk should encourage survival at all costs, otherwise there is a consequence for it, but that isn't the case. A wasted opportunity if you ask me.

    A garbage perk tbh. All it does is make progress bars turn red for survivors.

    For it to be considered a viable perk, then it needs to have dead survivors affect it too. As it stands, it's more if a psychological effect than a mechanical one. I don't like to stay injured, so I hate seeing those red little skulls.

    I guess it should stay the same.
