Dominance should get buffed

8 seconds of blocking a Totem or a Chest is not gonna lie, a bit weak, for an entire Perk slot I wish it was a little better…

So how about a change that makes this Perk work like Corrupt Intervention, but for Chests and Totems?

Dominance

At the start of the Trial, all Chests and Totems are blocked for 50/55/60 seconds.

The Auras of blocked Chests and Totems are revealed to you in white.

Simple, instantly would find itself in any hex build!

    pretty sure the perk is meant to work like thrill of the hunt where it alerts you when a survivor touches a totem allowing you to defend it. i think real issue is the fact that it only works once per totem and its trigger condition

    what would make it worthwhile is if the perk worked like blast mine where blast mine does not trigger at start of the kick, it triggers at 50% of the kick then stuns you. Dominance should trigger when a survivor begins cleansing 80% of a totem and after 80% of totem has been cleansed, it kicks you off the totem and block totem for 8 seconds deactivating the perk. Every time you put a survivor into the dying state, Dominance reactivates.

    that would be way better version of the perk. here's summary of how tooltip would look for this perk:

    Dominance:

    the power you wield over the land strikes terror in the hearts of all who cross your path.

    Calls upon The entity to block totems for 4/6/8 seconds that are interacted with by a Survivor when the total progress reaches 80% completion. Dominance deactivates.

    When a survivor is put into dying state, the perk reactivates.

    The auras of blocked totems are revealed to you in white.

    =====

    Hoarder should get buff where it blocks chests for 8 seconds and decreases opening speed of chests by -35%. it would work similarly to this perk except notification part would trigger regardless if it is active or not. Notification would begin when a survivor touches a chest and block would occur after 80% of chest has been opened.

    Honestly I think Dominance would be fine if they gave it a loud noise notification and increased the duration a tad.

    It's quite easy to miss as all you get is the aura colour change.

    I'm not sure if that would actually make it better. Because let's say I spawn in as survivor and see a blocked dull totem. Well if I see that I'm going to assume there's probably an important hex somewhere and I should go find it. Almost no killer uses Dominance without hex perks.

    I agree. It has the exact same issue as the old Gearhead did when it only worked once per activation. It's way too easy to miss the aura and not notice it at all.
