Trying to make use of unused killer perks #1 Furtive chase
Hello, my name is Ksoni, Im a experienced killer main with 2K hours of playing, I was playing with top tier perks only, so i've decided to try something diffrient I will be trying to make unused perks usable, by fitting them in diffriend builds. I'll be sharing my gameplay feedback, thoughts, and other suggestion for buffing or changing the perk. I will be posting these discussions regulary if enought people will be interested. Also, you can suggest the perk for the next discussion.
1,Perks, that could work Furtive chase with:
Ruin (more time to get Furtive chase stacks)
Make your choise (for quicker downing the rescuer, who is the new obsession)
Survillence (overall map awareness, also repearing is louder, so when in chase, you can hear if someone is repearing genereator nerby and suprise them,thanks to smaller terror radious from furtive chase)
A nurse's calling (with smaller terror radius when in chase, you can suprise survivors who are healing themselfs near you)
2, Killers, that could benefit well with those perks.
Myers (16 meter terror radius paired with full stacked furtive chase would give 0 meter terror radius when in chase)
Huntress (same as above, 20 meter TR -16 meters is only 4 meters, so that's almost nothing. Also her lulaby is gone when she is in chase)
The Legion (ability to hurt multiple survivors, causes them to heal, and being seen by nurses calling, also he's killer instinct allows him to find obsession easly.
3, Builds that i tried on these killers
Myers:
Ruin. Make your choise, Furtive chase, Survillence
Ruin, Make your choise, Furtive chase, Nurses calling
Huntress
Ruin, Furtive chase, Nurses calling, Survillance (no make your choise because it's bad on her)
Legion
Ruin, Make your choise, Furtive chase, Nurses calling
4, My thoughts about the gameplay:
First of all i need to say, that the point of this whole experiment was not to win, but to make this perk work. And although i took 2 perks to make this perk work better (ruin doesn't count because you basically take it every game) it only worked for me twice on one match where i was playing Myers. The lack of perks that help you in chase really hurts, and causes the chases to go for frustratingly long, and because of that i can't get all 4 stack before gates are powered.
5, Suggestions:
This perk definitely needs buffs. The reward is too little compared to the effort you need to put to make this perk work. I would add a bonus when you get 4 stacks. Maybe something like: "when you get 4 stack you see the auras of all survivors who are not in chase within 32 meters" This would give the killer information about where other survivors are and suprise them without needing another perk slot. Also it would be nice if there were more obsession perks that could pair well with this. For example there only one perk that works with it. It's remember me. It isn't even that good, because you can easly get all 4 stacks without swaping the obsession. The other 4 counter each other.
Dying light ( you want to kill your obsession as fast as possible, but furtive chase swaps obsession,)
Safe the best for last (You want to focus everyone who is not the obsession, but it makes furtive chase uselles)
Rancor (You don't want to focus the obsession, because you can just one shot and kill him at the end, so it makes furtive chase uselles)
Play With your food (you want to let your obsession escape, so you get bonus MS, but it will make Furtive chase uselles)
We need more obsession perks that rewards you for hitting the obsession, and work well with the swaping obsession mechanic.
Thanks for reading. Share your ideas for next perk, and your thoughts about this discussion. Also sorry if my english wasn't perfect.

I really appreciate this man!
Trying to find a use for these perks is not a simple thing. You really need experience and game knowledge. I try to do the same and i have found some good use for a lot of non meta perks. I would really like to see you doing more of these !

I actually tried a combo on Wraith with PWYF, Furtive chase and MYC. Cloaking and uncloaking allows you to build PWYF stacks really quickly. If you keep chasing the rescuer over and over again, you can top off your PWYF stacks really quick before you 1 shot them. The reduced TR part of furtive chase in this case is just a byproduct, with the main focus being on changing your obsession.

Sadly, on red ranks, wraith is simply getting bullied, if he don't have any perks that help him in chase. And before you find, catch and hook your obsession, 3 gens are done alredy.

But it's still a new fun build to try, and see it working in some way.

Chasing that obsession at 130% speed pretty much guarantees you wont be getting looped for very long. Wraith naturally moves faster around the map while cloaked and can scout out survivor positions fairly easily early on, especially with windstorm addons. Either way, like you said...its different and new. I like trying to get creative with different killers and new perks.
