Iron Will should probably sit around 90%

Obvious bit of bias here, as I've mostly been playing Spirit recently, but I'm pretty certain that Iron will is back to just being unhealthy again. (That and Stridor is STILL bugged and doesn't negate Iron Will)

I'd either knock it down to 90%, so that really attentive players can still counter it in some way, or it should still allow for normal breathing to be heard, and keeping the grunting and wheezing muted. Not fun or interactive to face, still synergizes well with the stronger exhaustion perks minus sprint burst obviously. But yeah, just not fun.

    I was worried about iron will but it hasn't really bothered me much in the matches it appears in. I feel it fills a niche of being decently strong for it's intended play style, and the exhaustion drawback keeps it in check, preventing it from appearing in every lobby.

    But I'm also biased, I main nemesis and survivors are often given away by t-virus coughing, which I listen for to find contaminated healthy survivors. It's a nice treat to find an injured survivor off guard when I assume they're healthy, finding them only because of the cough.

    You don‘t like a perk =/ unhealthy. I don‘t like many perks too, but this doesn‘t make them unhealthy.

    Stridor not negating Iron Will isnt too much of an issue tho, the fact that Stridor buffs Spirit is more of an issue than Iron Will negating Stridor

    That doesn't make much sense, in context to the buff Stridor got.

    Stridor is supposed to add sound now, not multiply it. That's the bug, and that's a valid argument. I personally don't think Iron Will at 100% is a problem mind you, but Stridor is definitely bugged.

    You not liking a perk doesnt make it unhealthy, as a spirit you suffer the most from iron will and yes whilst its not fair that one perk can negate a core game mechanic for YOU(not any of the other killers) you can bring stridor to help that factor.

    Alas stidor is bugged so your gonna have to wait a bit, game is currently in bug war so give up on your dreams 🙂‍↕️

    I never said it wasnt bugged, I just said its not that big of an issue.

    The developers thought it was a good idea to make this Perk strong again and to give survivors something for free when beeing injured. I still hope they will change this Perk (make it 90% or 75% again and remove the exhaustion part), especially now when we also have Dracula with his Bat form that relies on survivor sounds like Spirit - thus Spirit relies on sounds more than Dracula.
