Dark Arrogance needs a change before it goes live. It's absolutely garbage.

I do not understand what's the point of releasing horrible perks that nobody will use anyway. In it's current stats, Dark Arrogance is simply a much worse version of Bamboozle, with less of an effect (doesn't block windows) and a setback to it. 5% extra speed compared to Bamboozle is absolutely insignificant, NOBODY will chose to run this perk over bamboozle, and pairing both is an absolute waste + superior anatomy already gives the same speed as both perks combined.

Like what's the point at all. This has been by far the most boring perk I've seen being released by far, a literal replica of a perk that already existed for like 5 years now, except much worse.

The stats need to be altered before live release, but honestly I wish the perk would change for something more creative instead.

In my humble opinion, perks need to be either niche, fun or strong in order to be even worth releasing.

For example:

Bloodwarden does nothing 95% of the time, but it's a niche perk that results in interesting game outcomes.

Deadlock is a strong perk, that isn't necessarily fun, but it provides value to the game.

And Invocation: Weaving Spiders, although not the strongest perk in the game, has been one of the most unique and fun perks released recently. Those are the perks that we like to see in the game.

What's the point of releasing perks that are neither worth running, neither creative and neither niche as they're a replica of an already existing perks?

Why not switch things for a change, so the perk actually has a unique character? Like instead of the killer vaulting faster, make it so survivors vault slower? That can actually throw off people and result in unique gameplay, so it's actually worth running. In its current state, Dark Arrogance might as well be renamed to Wannabe Bamboozle, because that's exactly what it is.

Those are my thoughts at least.
