A Decisive Strike Thread

RepliCant

Here is a constructive thread purely for the sake of discussion Decisive Strike. It'd be nice to have a thread where people can rant their standpoint and give out constructive criticism and bounce off ideas.

• What are your current thoughts on Decisive Strike?
• Do you like it? Dislike?
• Balanced or Unbalanced? Why?
• What would YOU do to change it if you could?

I found this to be an interesting idea for a perk, but with all considering the most powerful perk in the game (Even beats out Self Care and any Killer perks!) in which has too many downfalls for the Killer with 0 repercussions to any Survivor.

It allows up to 4 uses, 1 per Survivor. This is deemed too much. It allows for potentially 4 hooks to be completely avoided. That's an entire emblem due to a perk the Killer has 0 counter to.

Again, there's not counter to it. You just hope the Survivor will miss the Skillcheck, but from someone who leans on the more Survivor side, we don't miss skillchecks. Slugging is an option, but as a Killer your objective is hooking and sacrificing Survivors. Unless you're slugging for strategic reasons and not just because they have Decisive, that's another story. But slugging a Decisive Strike player is counteractive to your objective, AND allows them to save it for future use.

Dislike.

Unbalanced. As #########.

I'd make this a 1 survivor-can-only-use-it perk .AKA only the Obsession can use the perk. Due to it's powerful effects, allowing all 4 Survivors to equip and UTILIZE this perk so effectively puts this at such a high priority unbalanced-issue. Where the current mechanics cater to the perk too.

This is also be more biased towards RNG, allowing for less of a chance to be the Obsession with 3 others attempting to be.

Or let's just scrap that ######### all together and get a better perk.

(Gosh why can't they PTB Decisive changes let us players try something jfc it's been an entire year if not longer)

*It exists
*Noo.....
*Yes and at the same time no.
It's a cool idea with execution that is bad for killer IF survivors can hit the skill check
*Em. This is probably stupid change but whatever
Remove the obsession effect. When you hit 70/65/60% of the wiggle meter (or less) succeed a skillcheck to fill the rest of the wiggle bar and stun the killer for an amount of a time

I have said before DS should be used only for the obsession. If 3 others have it then they are out of luck and have 3 perks max. If you say hey that is unfair. 4 DS in a game against the killer is also unfair but they dealt with it for going on 2 years.

I dont usually run it but i love it when someone else does because it gives me more time to finish the gens.

There is counter for DS and it is simple:
You downed obsession? If hook is nearly hook the obsession, u can drop 4 times to get to the nearest hook. If hook is far away just leave the obsession on the ground, it will waste time other survivors. Next time try to down the obsession next to the hook.
If u downed the survivor which is not obession, hook survivor on nearest hook. Survivors with DS are starting to press A and D before pickup. Keep it on mind while choising right hook.

WAH! But according to @AnotherRandy that would hurt solo survivors because THERE IS NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE BEFORE GAME. Having an empty perk slot would only hurt solos but I'm pretty sure if it were an only obsession perk I would not want ds nerfed anymore

DS just means your a lawn ornament when you go down, dont usually feel like dealing with it.
