'Trails of Torment' Perk needs to change.

Before I begin, I have made this post before on General Discussions and am posting again under Feedback and Suggestions in hopes of getting the attention of our developers of Dead by Daylight. This is not to say my proposed idea should be made, but rather to spark interest in making a change for the perk being discussed. Also I originally intended this post to be made in Feedback and Suggestions, that was my mistake. Still new to using the forums I feel. Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy the following.

'Trail of Torment' is a new killer perk belonging to the Executioner. After kicking a Generator, you become Undetectable for 16 seconds. During this time, the Generator's Aura is revealed in yellow to all Survivors. Trail of Torment can only be triggered once every 80/70/60 seconds.

I believe a lot of players will agree when I say that removing the Generator's Aura reveal would be all that is required to do, or at the very least is the minimal buff that can be applied to this perk. There is no reason to tell the Survivors where your proximity location is before being Undetectable, it removes the surprise effect. Dark Devotion, Insidious, Tinkerer, and Ghostface's Night Shroud do not announce themselves upon activation, so why does Trail of Torment?

Although the effect is short-lived and the cooldown rather large for my taste, I can agree with that. I would prefer the effect be longer, however that would elevate the use of Trail of Torment over Dark Devotion, which I feel is the strongest perk for going Undetectable at this current time. Thrilling Tremors also carries the long cooldown, and again though I would appreciate the cooldown to be reduced I can agree with why it is set for that long.

Do you agree or disagree with my proposed buff for Trail of Torment? Support your thoughts and if you have other changes in mind, feel free to share your thoughts and share this idea in case the developers were to notice.

    My proposed change: You guide your victims along a path of pain and punishment.


    After kicking a Generator, you call upon the Entity to block the Generator for 30 seconds, the affected Generator will be revealed to all Survivors by a white Aura. after the generator becomes unblocked you become undetectable for 15 seconds.


    Trail of Torment can only be triggered once every 70/60/50 seconds.
