Dead Hard vs Doctor?

have I only just learned that DH doesn’t work when you’ve been hit by shock therapy?

I’ve been quite consistently hitting my DHs but that last match something wasn’t right.

    From my understanding, DH now provides endurance which will do nothing vs killer powers that don't damage you. A nemesis tentacle whipping you the first time and not damaging you would still result in you getting infected even if timed perfectly with new dead hard, drs shocks are in the same camp

    You could never activate Dead Hard while under the effect of Shock Therapy.

    Doc's Shock Therapy will render you unable to perform actions (including activating DH) for 3.5secs and him unable to M1 for 1 sec if I am not mistaken. It been like that before and after the patch, the difference is that before the patch you could iframe Shock Therapy to prevent being blocked from performing actions.

    Note that Static Blast will NOT prevent you from performing actions though.

    Not to be that guy, but I'm 90% sure it's 2.5 seconds, don't mean to sound rude, that's just what I've seen discussed all the time

    Are you trying to dh the shock itself or after you've already been shocked. Cause old DH vs doctor was stupid af as you can just "dodge" electricity while inside its cone.

    No resentments, we're up to a civil discussion. It's been a while since I played killer, and if the queues continue the way it is it will be a little longer.

    And according to the wiki, you're right on the 2.5 sec:

    Range: 10.7 metres. This distance is calculated from the centre of The Doctor's hitbox capsule.

    Charge time: 1 second

    Survivor-Interactions Cool-down duration: 2.5 secondsThis refers to how long after receiving a shock Survivors are prohibited from interacting with Props (indicated on the HUD).

    Cool-down duration: 1.5 secondsThis refers to how long after the attack The Doctor is prohibited from initiating another attack or from interacting with Props.

    Detonation delay: 1 secondThis refers to how long it takes the attack to shock Survivors after releasing it.

    Old DH you could use the i-frames to ignore a shock therapy blast/static blast (It's as stupid as it sounds)

    New DH has no i-frames so this is impossible to do now
