Poised Buff Idea

Right now poised just gets rid of your scratch marks for 10 seconds after a gen is completed, but what if for 20 seconds after a gen is completed it also had a vigil-like effect and made exhaustion recover somewhere between 50-100% faster? I feel like that would make it a pretty fun perk but I'm curious what other people think of it

    I'd sooner give it a small Haste effect, like 2% Haste for the 10 seconds. Could make it useful during chases or traveling.

    i was actually going to originally say give it like a sprint burst when a gens completed but then adrenaline would be useless and i liked the idea of having it combo well with exhaustion instead. also 2% haste is absolutely worthless boon dark theory is 4% and even that is garbage

    Alright, bump it up to 6% Haste.

    OP is incorrect. Dark Theory is 2% haste. But 2% is indeed garbage. Most non-exhaustion survivor perks that grant haste grant either 5% or 7%. Considering that it's only 10 second and can only activate up to 5 times, I'd say 7% haste for 10 seconds in addition to no scratch marks would be fine, but to be honest I'm not sure even that pretty major buff would significantly raise usage rates. Considering just how limited this perk is by its activation condition and time limit, I'd suggest that it hide pools of blood in addition to scratch marks and eliminate grunts of pain in addition to the 7% haste effect for 10 seconds.

    And even with all of these buffs I doubt you'd see much usage. Perks that activate upon completing gens have such a horrible activation condition if the effect can't be stored.

    yeah i agree that itd be hard to increase usage without making it broken so i just liked the idea of getting free sprint bursts/exhaustion back if you're not in chase even in chase you could try some fun builds i think it would just be a fun change as right now its worthless

    maybe a better change is after the 10 seconds is up you get your exhaustion back but that would be really annoying mid chase so i like the really fast recovery as there would at least be some risk to get it back mid chase

    maybe exhaustion should recover 166% faster for 20 seconds

    40 seconds of exhaustion 166% faster would lower to around 15 seconds of exhaustion
