    What are you trying to say with your post? Grim Embrace is annoying thats true, but as long as this perk isn't OP, it's all good

    I tend to agree. I don't know how I feel about it balance wise right now. But at the very least I know it isn't enjoyable as a survivor.

    GE is kind of overtuned when combo'd well. But as long as FTP+BU remains viable, this should stay imo.

    It's boring but I don't feel like it's that effective. I wouldn't mind it leaving the meta. I dislike gen perks in general.

    It's not bad at all. At first I didn't like it pairing with DMS, but as long as you let go of the gen before the killer hooks, like you do for the Pain Res/DMS combo, and let GE run it's course you won't have to deal.with DMS at all.

    I think it's fine on its own, or paired with at most one other gen regression/blocking perk. Grim Embrace only works 12 seconds per first hook, until all survivors are hooked, then the killer gets 40 seconds. That's 76 seconds, or 1 minute and 16 seconds of total gen blocking. It also only works completely if the killer gets every survivor on a hook. It'd be fine with, say only Pop or only Pain Res, because the killer is only getting gen slowdown on hooks, and the killer would need either have a limit on their slowdown with Pain Res, or they would need to use their Pop well.

    The problem is the fact that killers can run 4 slowdowns at a time right now. First a Pain Res explosion, then blocked by Grim Embrace, which is then extended by DMS, and finally a Pop for good measure. It's too much.

    Also, I'm not entirely sure the DMS combo is intended.

    Edit: Edited for clarity.
