The Nurse should be the strongest killer in the game. There's a few killers when no matter what survivor does against them, he'll always get a hit for example doctor, executioner etc. I have a lot of practice with the Nurse and against her. You could counter old 2 blinks Nurse, it wasn't difficult. Her basekit was fine and she shouldn't need cooldown on her power. Example, if now Nurse without addons play against survivor with dead hard it takes 8 seconds per her blink set. If she hit, chace will last 8 seconds. Next, survivor has dead hard so her chace equeals now 16 seconds. If she miss her blinks, chace now equeals 24 seconds etc. As you can see, Nurse cannot counter dead hard. This perk gives survivors free 8 seconds to genrushing, running away etc. Also she is veeery buggy and it should be fixed. She definitely needs rework especially for addons. Nowadays she has only 2 great recharge addons. Rest of them are useless. She's boring killer to play as and dead hard, bugs make her unfun to play. How the Nurse can be reworked remaining balance ?

Her base stats will remain the same as now. Movement speed of 96.25% or 3.85m/s, no cooldown on power, 2 seconds fatigue baseline and +0.5s additional fatigue time per chain blink, +1 second when the Nurse uses her attack. Her blink movement speed remains 333% or 13.33 m/s. Just her old basekit.

Now let's talk about the addons. They will be so much weaker than before because the Nurse won't rely on them anymore and they'll change the game by slightly:
