Let's Make It Better! [#1]

Okay, I'm gonna make a thread series of making a two perks more viable to use! I'll pick a perk from both the survivor and killer side, hopefully you agree with me! If you don't, well, of course tell me why without being uncivil! 
Technician:
You adapt to machinery and take well care of it's components. When you fail a skill check, you'll prevent the explosion and the regression penalty. Preventing the explosion is very overwhelming, causes exhaustion for 40/30/20 seconds.
I feel like this perk will be a lot better if you know 100% that you'll be safe from the generator explosion at the cost of getting a exhaustion penalty. Yes, it won't be as good as some of the other strong survivor perks but being able to skip a difficult skill check is so strong believe it or not!
Fire Up:
You hate seeing your prey getting closer to their escape. Every time a generator is completed, receive a token up to a maximum of 5. For each token you have, gain a 2/3/4% decreased cool down on all successful and unsuccessful attacks. Additionally, when all generators are powered, all survivors will suffer from the exposed status effect until one survivor enters dying state.
Fire Up didn't do much, it basically forced you to get GR (gen rushed) for a little reward from the perk. Now this perk will grant a faster attack cool down and a exposed status effect for the first survivor you attack. Again, this isn't much but it's enough to consider a perk slot sometimes!
Please tell me your thoughts about this!

It's just 20 seconds for a safe skill check, it's seems like a good trade off!Dudddd said:

I disagree with the (I know you call it a buff but..) nerf to technician.
It's not nearly a decent tradeoff for what it does.

The only negative is the removed decreased audio range however not losing progression when missing a skill check is so strong. I use technician a lot and even when I get the 50%, I still lose the same amount of progression as if the generator exploded. It's just RNG. This version grantees that the generator won't explode as long as your not exhausted. Overcharge? No problem!Brady said:I disagree with the (I know you call it a buff but..) nerf to technician.

Edit: Can you explain why it's not a good trade off? Thank you for the kind comment! 0
