upcoming 'calm spirit', is it 'really' buffed?
The effect of calm spirit to be changed is as follows.
In addition to Calm Spirit’s current effects, you can now open chests and cleanse and bless totems silently, albeit at 40/35/30% reduced speed.
However, I think a 30% reduction in speed is an excessive penalty because it only has the effect of reducing the sound of totem and chest-related interactions.
Rather, I think it is much more beneficial to use totem cleansing speed-increasing perks such as resilience or counterforce.
Rather, I suggest adding a function that hides the killer instinct.

Yes. I catch most chests and totem players by sound ques.

With resilience or counterforce, even if a killer finds a survivor, the survivor can destroy the totem before being hit.

It's such a weird thing to add. It's like Technician where it just has an unnecesarry downside. Imagine if Enduring was something like you recover from pallet stuns faster, but you break pallets 20% slower.
Also who's gonna open a chest/cleanse or bless a totem while the killer is around? You do that stuff when the killer isn't near, so it's basically useless.

that's exactly what I wanna say.

I don't get why the perk needed a debuff to quiet those actions. Pharmacy also quiets chest opening and does so without penalty. Technician quiets the repair sound of gens without penalty.
Neat idea, but poor execution.

I don't even know why they put it in the "buffs" category. This is literally a nerf. No one is going to run calm spirit, ever.

Yeah, that speed debuff is really unnecessary. It's not like the perk would make you invisible.

I love Calm Spirit and now opening chests and cleansing totem are going to be slower, I don't know if I will run it as often as I do.

Its a nerf, the 30% increased cleansing time doesnt amount for the fact its silent, most Totem cleanses are done without the Killer around so you get a buff that rarely help with a downgrade thats always on? its a direct nerf.

In almost all cases, you aren't opening chests or cleansing totems near the killer. And if the killer is chasing someone around a Devour or something, they're very liable to come and check on it anyway - if the reduced totem cleansing speed doesn't cause them to catch you when you would have been able to pull off the cleanse without Calm Spirit.
That part of the perk should not be a thing. It's Technician-tier; small buff, huge nerf.
Booning is already very quiet, and you can't boon right next to a killer regardless, because they'll hear the nearby boon radius sound effect and come straight towards it.

Also the only relevant boon perk doesn't even benefit from being near areas where the killer is often.

What a neat perk, slowing my action speeds down!

No Mither + Self-Care was already an OP combo but with the new Calm Spirit it's gonna be unstoppable

No idea why they added a speed penalty to it.
