DARK DEVOTION/Buff Idea

My Buff Idea(Tier 3 only):

You become obsessed with one Survivor. 

Hitting the Obsession with your attack causes the Obsession to emit your Terror Radius for 40 seconds without the reduce effect.

If the Obsession isnt in a chase, this effect will stay 40 seconds longer

(Obsession emit your Terror Radius for 80 seconds without the reduce effect).

Your Terror Radius is reduced to 0 metres for 40 seconds.

This effect can only be triggered once every 40 seconds.

The Obsession hears the Terror Radius they emit for the duration.


Hint:

Killer abilities, addons and other perks can affect this perk.

Example:

Doctor ability(Madness)

    .... This isn't a buff. I mean... Yeah, reduced cooldown, but the fact you have NO TERROR RADIUS and that somebody else is emitting said radius is why this perk is good enough.

    How is this not a buff?

    The killer has 30 seconds no terror radius(original: 20).

    And the survivor emit it for 1 minute, if she/he isnt in a chase (original: 20).

    The original perk is just low tier/trash tier with the current numbers:

    You become obsessed with one Survivor. Hitting the Obsession  with your basic attack causes the Obsession to emit a Terror Radius of 32 metres for 20 seconds. During that time, your Terror Radius is reduced to 0 metres.

    This effect can only be triggered once every 30 seconds. The Obsession hears the Terror Radius they emit for the duration.

    I would increase the duration to 30s and let it mirror the killers terror radius and it's effects (f.e. a Doc with Distressing in treatment mode would result in a terror radius of 40m and madness if the Obsession is near others) This should also affect Huntress' and Freddy's lullaby too and could give them new opportunities.

    This perk is a joke haha.

    All of the 0 terror radius perks are barely used.

    Sure it might work on Solo Survivors but if it's SWF you get scouted and Discorded.

    And since you can never be 100% on SWF at the lobby no one would risk wasting a perk alot on a perk that is completely countered from OUTSIDE the game.

    edit: sorry for bold these forums are screwy.

    Should I add more examples?

    If the Obsession isnt in a chase, this effect will stay 40 seconds longer

    (Obsession emit your Terror Radius for 60->80 seconds without the reduce effect).

    Your Terror Radius is reduced to 0 metres for 30->40 seconds.

    This effect can only be triggered once every 30->40 seconds.

    They should just remove the cooldown, it's not like you can chain every 5 seconds hits on your obsession... Only killer that can do that (to some extant) is Legion but then he goes into cooldown for a while and can't really switch targets.

    Making the perk persist through chases so that it works more like borrowed time would be interesting (20 second timer starts when hit, but the timer freezes during a chase).

    That change would make sense, because when the killer is chasing the obsession they're usually too close for the perk to be useful.

    I don't think extending how long the timer lasts is a good idea though. Anything that lasts longer than 30 seconds wouldn't provide much additional value because the survivors would adapt their playstyle to ignore the terror radius altogether and just rely on their eyes. It would become less useful and more obtrusive.

    I haven't really tried it with Perks like M&A, Agitation etc. yet because it's difficult to test.

    What I really mean is that a killer with a standard TR of 24m should transfer a 24m TR (and of cause all effects of Perks/Add-Ons/Ability) to the obsession, not the classic 32m.

    The most important thing is that it should transfer the lullaby too, because this is not the case and makes this Perk useless for Huntress and Freddy.

    Sorry if this wasn't clear. English is not my native language.

    Me,too.

    But I can understand your english rly good.

    And I agree with you.

    This perk should emit all things and not only the 32 m terror radius.
