Decisive Strike
this perk should be changed so conspicuous actions do not deactivate it, survivors should be able to do things and keep it active.
What should deactivate it? protection hits after a survivor moves 3 meters away from a hook a protection hit deactivates decisive strike. The 3 meters would be to prevent killers from forcing an immediate deactivation.
This would make it a real anti-tunnel perk, making it a much better perk for both survivors and killers. Since a killer not trying to tunnel wouldn’t even notice the change. Survivors who don’t want to force it won’t feel useless while they wait out its duration in the off chance a killer does happen to try and tunnel them.

There were reasons why we added Conspicuous Actions to the switch off the effect off the perk, the main one being how abusable it was that the survivor could do anything and not be punished for it - ie would work on a generator right in front of the killer knowing they were safe from being hooked again.
Survivors do not tend to wait out the effects of the perk, they know that efficiency is important so they work on a generator in a safer area of the map.

while i understand can happen, i much rather that then have a survivor force it on me when im actively not trying to tunnel. The perk as it stand now isn’t really an anti tunnel perk.
As a survivor i feel like i have to force it or i wasted the perk slot . I can’t heal my teammate or i lose it, i can’t unhook or i lose it can’t do a gen or i lose it. 60 seconds of doing nothing is so much free slow down for the killer. It’s wrong.

but you don't need to spend 60s doing nothing, that's inefficient as a survivor. If you're not being tunneled you can just work on a generator to progress the game. Your perk, is not needed in this situation.

Decisive Strike used to remain active for 60 seconds all the time and it very often was not used for its intended purpose. If you're sitting on a generator you are not being tunneled.
In many situations, it's better for you as a survivor to go ahead and progress the game especially if you know the killer isn't nearby, and in a lot of cases it's not a good use of survivor time to keep DS active if it means you are wasting significant time not making generator progress (or performing any other important objective). DS can help you survive if you are being tunneled, but if you actively progress the objective after getting off the hook then that is at your own risk and it's not the situation that the perk is designed to protect you in.

Right now it doesn't last long enough i get tunneled and they just wait it out.

This is kind of perk that you bring "just in case". It doesn't need to be abused.
I bring DS every game and I never force it on killer - it's the killer's decision to eat that perk.

Questions: If I get unhooked and run to the killer with my DS, they eat it, and then the killer downs me/waits the DS out and hooks me again without any hook in between, does that count as tunnelling in your statistics?
