Spasmodic Breath
All in all I think The Nurse changes are fine but might need some little buffs to her once she’s been properly tested but there’s one thing out of all of the changes that bothers me, Spasmodic Breath.
“Spasmodic Breath
- Hitting a survivor with a successful blink attack disables the ability to blink and increases The Nurse's base movement speed to 4.6 m/s for 60 seconds.”
This add-on makes it so the nurse will become an M1/R2/whateverXboxuses killer (sorry to any Xbox users that get offended by this, I can’t remember what the button is called for Xbox controllers). The Nurse will become a killer similar to trapper when taking this add-on except for the fact that if she uses her power successfully she’ll then lose it. She won’t gain anything and I actually kinda consider it mostly a hindrance since you’ll be looped easier than trapper.
I think that instead of outright disabling her blink ability Spasmodic Breath should remove 1 blink charge when it activates, lower the maximum number of blinks to 1 and increase the cooldown for her blinks to return, by about 9 seconds or more so that it takes at least 12 seconds (really 9.5 seconds since the recharge happens on fatigue start and not fatigue end). This way she can still blink in a chase and if she misses the survivor has a way to escape while still including the add-ons main purpose of allowing her to catch up to survivors quicker when not blinking.
If anyone sees a problem with my idea and/or can think of a better solution please say so since I really hope the devs change this add-on and the more ideas the better chance of getting it changed to something that’s not what it is now.

Yes Nurse is loopable who would have thought.

It appears you’ve misunderstood my intent, personally I have no problem with nurse, or any killer for that matter, becoming loopable. My problem is when something turns a killer into, like I said before, “an M1/R2/whateverXboxuses killer” with little benefit and disables their power. They could even make it so that the nurse can no longer blink through obstacles making her loopable but still let her blink with the add-on and I would have no problem.

It literally turns her power off lol

It seems like their mindset with this add-on was "let's make her a worse version of Wraith for using her power well. Let's punish her for doing well"

I totally understood your point. This add-on make her loopable so why would good players use it if that punish her.

Then I misunderstood yours and I do apologise for that. I’m use to people who respond in ways similar to yours being extremely sarcastic and just ignoring any discussion to make a snarky response. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your opinion on this? I still can’t tell whether or not you think this add-on is okay or if your against it.

For gameplay variety i kind of like it. Will i use it no because being looped on certain maps is just unfun.
I want to see how he plays out today but i don't think it's a good add-on.

Right trigger for Xbox

I kinda see what they’re doing. Maybe it’s meant to catch Survivors off-guard. First you’re blinking to catch up, then all of a sudden you stop and your even faster than before.
Sure, it most likely will not be meta and is more of a gimmick add-on, but I think it could be pretty neat.

Nurse finally playable on console with this add on. But only if you land a hit from a blink and only for 60 seconds.

I've seen a lot of mean p3 Nurses in PS4, and while I certainly suck, I HAD been getting better with Nurse myself (enough for three kills if survivors messed up/I get lucky).
And now I will be cast down the gutter since I basically need to unlearn what I had struggled to learn.

Worst add-on. Why would I willingly turn off my power and become a loopable killer? That's the one strength Nurse has, not being loopable.

They really hammered in the "use this addon to make the game harder" with her addons.
There are 3 dedicated to making her power worse/unuseable and few that actually give rewards for using them.
I mean the nurses calling addon is a slap in the face to red rank nurses. You'll maybe get that once off a game if they're not potatoes. I really hate how they balance the game towards potatoes and ignore those survivors who aren't just because they're are fewer of themmmm

Xbox: RT
PC: M1
PS4: R2
Hope this helps.

I guess you could combo it with the Undetectable add-on so you can sneak up on another survivor without making blink noises.

How this add on got past even the design phase is beyond me.
