Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Should Open Handed get the Lethal Pursuer treatment?

So, Lethal Pursuer got a buff that made all aura timed readings 2 seconds longer. That way, it has at least some value even after it deactivates immediately.

Open Handed is currently entirely perk dependent, with the added benefit that it also affects your whole team. I'm okay with this, because the user would likely be combining it with Bond or Kindred anyway. It's be nice for the perk to have more combinations than just those two perks though.

But wouldn't it be a cool buff to also give Open Handed slightly lingering auras too, like Lethal Pursuer just got? It could work with Dark Sense, Breakdown, OoO, Alert, Buckle Up, and more.

    It was hard listing Buckle Up as an example with a straight face. That perk probably needs a buff more than Open Handed tbh

    Maybe, maybe not. But whether or not Open-Handed should get the buff (which I think would be okay) is irrelevant to the fact Lethal Pursuer did. Killer and survivor have a lot of differences and things will not translate evenly. On average, killer perks are meant to be better given there’s only up to 4 of them.

    Good point, good point.

    I suppose the only thing that connects the two is that they become dead perks if the player does not use them with other aura reading perks.
