Insidious Buff
Allow for Insidious to see Survivor auras within 8/12/16 meters along with the normal effects it already has.
BUT
Using Insidious while within 16 meters of a hooked survivor will prevent Insidious Aura Reading, so while it can be used to camp like it did before, it also has hunting applications.

I think it should give the killers a double damage buff on their next melee swing as well for 15s unless theyre within 16m of a hooked survivor. So this could see some play at loops

but thats what makes pig decent, you force them to abandon the loop

Perhaps the 3 second insidious cooldown grants a double damage hit? Long enough to gain speed and lunge.

It'd still be pretty useless unless it wasn't on a timer. And then it'd be called overpowered, I would rather not have to think about that.

The game seriously doesn't need any more aura reading perks for killers. I like the double damage idea, it enables more basement camping shenanigans other than Leatherface.

@Mochan I mean, you aren't seeing the bigger picture here. I don't want this perk to be a pure camping mechanic, hence why the aura reading isn't activated within 16 meters of a hooked survivor.
The perk can be used for camping, sure, but now it has a hunting/jumpscare effect in closed maps.

i dislike the idea of more aura reading its just too much you have alot of perks that you can see it my person idea of insidious its if someone its doing solo/group a gen at 50% of progression the aura will become white but also it reduce a little bit the TR know i know this is also aura reading but seen youre idea you can make a insane build of aura reading to see the survivor example BBQ, bitter murmur, nurse calling, and with this makes kinda a difficult situation on survivor i prefer more auras for objects like gens now the idea of this its a combination of M&A with discordance

@Tru3Lemon That'd just make you a immobile Wraith, and honestly, the perk would be situational in the way Balanced Landing would be. Since not all maps are good for a perk like Insidious.

I tried it once but survivors all all just pointed at me when it was active
