I love playing with autodidact but i feel skill check triggers is too low. fix this by putting in increases chance of skillchecks moderatly. Thoughts?

    Perfect or maybe considerably but I've been running this perk instead of my usual meta build and I can say I love it very satisfying.

    Usually there are enough skill checks when you are healing someone, but when you have the autodidact you receive none lol The irony...

    You barely get skillchecks when you use autodidact for some reason. You'll get the very first skill check almost always in every game as early as you could. Subsequent skill checks are very rare for some reason. I think it's because the game doesnt want you to use them

    The reason I rarely run it is because I almost never got it to proc. I'd only get the chance for one or two skill checks in two heals. I'd definitely love if it had an increased chance of triggering skill checks to actually make it a viable perk.

    problem is now there are almost none. ive had games with healing 10 people and still only 3 stacks. several times it don't proc at all. yes it is powerfull on 5 stacks. but there are other just as powerfull. bottany is powerfull on it's own but a very boring perk compared. also Autodidact could then take over some of the meta. like f.ex. unbreakable, etc.

    I’ve never used this perk but I have a legitimate question about the skill checks.

    Do you know if the skill check triggers are normal speed or are they a little faster than if you were healing normal? Cuz I do agree if that’s the case it needs a buff for sure.

    They are supposed to be normal speed. but i have had several full heals with no skillchecks at all. feels like it's les

    The devs could tweak the perk in multiple ways. Increase the chances for skillchecks to allow anyone to actually use the perk every match but slightly reduce the maximum-healing-bonus OR increase the number of negative-skillchecks by 1 to even things out.

    Something like reversed stacks could be great

    Like 10% more skillchecks that decreases by 2 every time you get a stack

    That way it builds faster without making it more powerfull at full stacks

    take off stacks that make it insane and remove huge penalty in the beginning

    Autodidact is a very good perk against perks like Sloppy Butcher or Thanataphobia. That is when the perk shines, since you get more time for more skillchecks to appear. Making that chance higher for Autodidact by default is gonna make autodidact extremely strong

    If you are looking for more skillchecks you can try spine chill. That will increase your chances of getting skillchecks when the killer is looking in your general direction. Pairing it with Empathy or Bond will help find injured people for more chances on skillchecks.

    @Inji

    I understand there is a chance the perk could be too strong if they increased the number of skills checks, but if the person above is correct, no skill checks at all seems too weak, for something that takes a whole perk slot.

    Yeah....equipping a perk slot for a CHANCE to use the perk at its full potential is such a waste.

    We'll Make It gets used.

    Self Care gets used.

    Sprint Burst.

    Dead Hard.

    All perks that are guaranteed to be used in the trial, while Auto-Didact has a chance to be used to its full potential.

    Come on....
