New Survivor Totem Perk

An idea for a Survivor perk that functions similar to Whispers for Killers, but with the intent of finding totems. Would really appreciate feedback on the strength and implementation of the perk.

Macabre Collector: A fascination from your past life has awakened a sixth sense in the Entity's Realms. When you are within a radius of 35/25/15 meters from a totem, Macabre Collector activates. Your totem cleansing speed is increased by 5/10/15 percent. After cleansing a Hex totem you leave no scratch marks for 5 seconds.

    I like it. Would need a massive cooldown or erase the cleanse speed IMO. But if that was the case people would just run detectives hunch tbh.

    I would love to see a perk that will allow us to kick and instantly destroy the totem. 😈

    I love the new perk that instantly destroys them all the second you spawn in. Calling it now: new meta.

    Small game already does the detection part. But I'd definitely take the faster cleansing speed.

    It feels a bit like this is to Small Game, like Spine Chill is to Premonition. It's interesting, but I'm more keen on the effect after cleansing a Hex. Maybe there should be more perks focused on what happens after cleansing, such as seeing killer or gen auras, or perhaps the scratch maks you mentioned.

    I'd actually like to see a perk when, once a totem is done, the survivor can make a "scratch mark bomb", so when in a chase you want to throw the killer off, hit the secondary action button to send scratch marks flying in various directions within a certain radius. Make some more creative perks.

    Thanks for the positive feedback so far! I was considering another effect like Haste for 5 seconds after cleansing a dull totem so there's reward to cleansing the dull totems as well.
