WGLF = useless?

Do you guys think that the last Buckle Up buff made WGLF (We're Gonna Life Forever) kind of a useless perk?

WGLF:

  • you heal downed survivors twice as fast -> being slugged is very situational, so a lot of times you won't be getting this value
  • if you have a token from unhook or protection hit, then the picked survivor gains endurance -> has the prerequisite of having to have a token, plus it's very situational that the killer is going to come back right as you pick the survivor up (yes you could use For the People, but Buckle Up is so much better in this case, because it has no prerequisites, AND both people gain the endurance)

I personally feel that there is no point in using WGLF now that it doesn't grant extra Bloodpoints, AND since a much better alternative exists - Buckle Up.

What are your thoughts?

    WGLF was bad even before buckle up change. Now it's bad AND obsolete. Main reason to take WGLF was BP. Now that it's gone the perk has no meaning

    Nah, WGLF is still worth it. The heal speed on downed Survivors is nuts and it still gives some Endurance.

    Buckle Up just isn't that useful by itself. It needs For the People to shine, and even then you might not even get into a position where you can use it, which means you have two dead perk slots.

    You kind of need to dedicate two perk slots for Buckle Up to rival WGLF. While the Endurance is really good, it doesn't give you any bonuses to actually getting someone off the ground at all, so you're a lot less likely to get it to proc without a supporting perk.

    I don’t think so. Buckle Up is only popular right now because using it with FTP makes it overpowered and uncounterable. If that wasn’t a thing then Buckle Up and WGLF would be about equal in strength imo. Buckle Up always gives Endurance and reveals the killer’s aura too, but doesn’t give a healing speed boost. WGLF only gives Endurance sometimes and only to the slug, but the heal speed boost is massive.

    the perk was historically only ever used for bloodpoint. it never had functionally good active effect. buckle is not power-creeping we're gonna live forever. it is power-creeping soul guard which was a rare synergy that you would sometimes see as FTP+Soulguard. now it is just Buckle Up+FTP instead. I believe the name we're gonna live forever has some reference to preventing survivors from bleeding out but that is never problem anyway.

    Oh that's right, Soul Guard is also now not that great, because of Buckle Up. I feel that Buckle Up should be reworked though, because it overlaps with so many perks right now...
