Vigil Affects Too Many Status Effects AND Shouldn't Be Stackable.
It's borderline meta right now on live with it only affecting exhausted perks (outside the typical perks you always see this is one of the most common ones to come across).
It affecting Blindness, Broken, Exhausted, Exposed, Haemorrhage, Hindered, Mangled and Oblivious is insane.
Why on earth is it also affecting things like hinder? All that's doing is massively affecting killers powers who rely solely on hinder to get hits, an effect that has very specific breakpoints at tiles which even if slightly changed massively detrimental to their viability and this perk is almost halving that time with no tell to the killer it's even in play.
It's more than fine just being exhausted with how strong the effect is, it should not be affecting breakpoints for killers especially when the killer has no way to tell it's in play other than people seemingly never going down when you think they should. Things like Blindness and Broken it's fine to affect because these don't really affect breakpoints but exposed, hindered, mangled and Haemorrhage should be untouched (especially the last two given you've already massively nerfed these effects a couple patches ago).
Also remove it's stacking effect. Changes are often done to help solo but this effect does absolutely nothing for solo Q but massively buffs SWF's and it's incredibly obnoxious to play against when it is being used by a SWF.

Vigil was always like this, is a problem now? It only recovers from exhaustion 2 seconds faster, that's all.
And man, I'm tired of always seen any reason to nerf things because of SFW. Let's nerf killers perks because they're broken on S killers.

It is going to be like adrenaline my friend, the perk has been in the game since dbd is birth and what did bvhr do? Nerf it to trash because everyone and their granny constant qq even though the perk NEVER use to be complain about the 6+ years, probably some content creator with their usual qqs of everything was the cause of it which I probably can even guess who it was but wont mention names.
I would not be surprise now vigil is being targeted. What is really sad is that like adrenaline this perk seem to not have no issue and now all of a sudden it is. Thankfully I never used it adrenaline or vigil anyways, I am glad I learn to finally loop without counting on exhaust perks but I pray for those who do use them, these qq of vigil be ignored as if these killers do not have anti exhaust perks and adds to use too, truly sad.

the player likely uses Sloppy butcher and Vigil is probably best counter to mangled right now. keep in mind that mangled used to be permanent and unaffected by Vigil. the 2 second exhaustion is irrelevant but what is not irrelevant is that sloppy butcher goes from 90 second to 64 seconds and these 64 seconds, it applies on hook.
so you can equip vigil and by the time you get unhooked, mangled gone. hemm too. great counter to Nurse add-on like fragile wheeze which gives 70 sec mangled. all those crappy mangled add-on's become troll-picks even more than they already are. Main usage of the perk in my opinion.
