Shadowborn and hoarder buffs. also including bloodhound and predator rework =
Shadowborn - in addition to its current effect, either increases range auras can be seen, or the time they stay active for. 8-16m extra, or 6s extra aura reading time.
Hoarder - upon a survivor completeing a chest search, the survivor is exposed for 60s.
Bloodhound - see blood aura's through walls within 16m. (delay causes you to be not entirely aware of their position, but able to track players bleeding through walls and floors - perfect alternative to iron will for tracking injured players)
Predator - see scratch mark aura's through walls within 24m (Delay causes it to be imprecise but allows you to easily never lose players running)
(Bloodhound/predator changes may require showing survivors your using the perks somehow or some prerequisite for balance, but are intended to supplement tracking builds so long as you have line of sight and are close enough, at the expense of not having gen delay or chase perks)

I think they're a step in the right direction, but maybe a little too far with the numerical buffs.
Shadowborne sounds good, but 6 seconds might want to be reduced to 2.
Hoarder's exposed might be too OP since you can start heading over there the moment you hear them open it. I think 15 or 20 seconds would be good.
Bloodhound sounds pretty good, but predator might be a little too strong with 24m, while still a little weak without. I think predator's main problem is the scratch marks being harder to track, so you could adjust the amount of scratch marks that spawn to be more dense and more direct, as well as being more visible through grass.

Oh yeah numbers can obviously be changed, though im not sure people would want to have shadowborn on purely for a 2s buff (expecially when theres so many better aura perks and this simply improves it) much like how open handed increases range by 8 (16m as of the ptb) this should do something similar
Hoarders you might be right on, but like with iron maiden, 15s has been found to be incredibly hard to capitalize on outside of them doing so in your face, which is why i said the higher time (much like blights gen perk, and how iron maiden is being reworked) - considering there would be a max of 5x it can activate per match normally with horaders and chests, i think thats a pretty fair trade - expecially since most teams won't activate a chest after the first.
Predator having the auras seen, would make them automatically show up through grass, though it arguably could be too strong at 24 m. that being said the obvious counter would be to just, not run outside of a chase, however there would HAVE to be some tell, that their using predator -much like scratch marks possibly being visible temporarily to the survivor as soon as they've left them, in order to indicate, hey there's something odd about the trails im leaving.
