Thana + Light or Calling + Thana + Butcher
Which would you rather use in a build? Maintain that surveillance of those pesky healing survivors for an easy down or slow the game down indefinitely if working as intended.

I wouldn't use Dying Light at all besides from fun builds. This perk got nerfed massively.
Calling + Sloppy Butcher is a nice combo for killers with a small terror radius.

it just depends. Dying light is imo preferable if you go for a long game. Its crazy good on freddy with slow addons. save the best for last is also a nice combo with it. thana and dying light is pretty good on plague. sloppy, thana and nurses is good on ghostface, legion, wraith, so more for the stealthier ones. also goes well with monitor ofc.

Well, I don't know on what killer do you want to use this build, so I can't give a proper advice.

I would only recommend Thana or Dying Light on Plague or Legion. (Or Freddy to stack with additional slows.)
These perks are pretty low value on killers who cannot keep all the survivors injured at once.
Dying Light seems like a decent amount of slow, but when you consider that one survivor is never affected, at most it's proportionate to a 14% slow.
(Maths here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/91202/dying-light-rework-needs-more-work#latest)
Thanatophobia is, at most, a 16% slow, and the maximum combined slow is 29.5%.
You're using 2 perk slots to have at most a 30% slow. This drops off significantly as survivors heal up, and also as survivors die. There is also a survivor on the map who heals everyone 33% faster because of Dying Light, and only loses half of that from Thana. This means they have a pretty solid way of reducing your slow consistently and quickly.
If you cannot keep survivors injured, the way Plague and Legion both do, this strategy takes too many perks a puts you into a stressful balancing act. In order to get any benefit out of them healing you then add Nurse's Calling, so you're starting off the match with, at most, one perk that does anything.
Early you have 2-3 perks doing nothing while gens are pumped out, and unless you can get a LOT of stacks of Dying Light fast, you basically just hit them with a mediocre slow that doesn't hurt too much.
