LEGION and SLUGGING!!!
So currently I'm trying to optimize this pure slugging build, like 4 downs then hook. I think knock out and infectious fright is mandatory. Cause if I don't see anyone scream generally I can assume no one is near by, they can't see the guy who got knocked out. And move on.
| knock out | infectious fright | surge | discordance |
Surge is to slow the gen progress. I'm assuming the survivors are smart and know not to heal against a legion to gen rush me. So I'll get a guaranteed generator regress (10 second + extra), if they stay injured near the generator. Discordance I really like the ability to disrupt two survivors off gens. Both of these perks work nice together in end game. I haven't tested this build out as much yet.
This is what I use to run
| knock out | infectious fright | Deer stalker | Nurse's Calling |
Deer stalker is useful in telling you what area to play around end game. I know what area to proxy camp and I know which dying survivor the other one will attempt to heal. And it's useful in getting hooks end game. Nurse's Calling is about the same range as Deer stalker. This works well in seeing when a survivor is getting picked up and when they're healing in a corner and I can't find them. But the reason why I've stopped running this is because by the time I left the 32 meter range I'm already committed to finding another survivor on the other side of the map.
What are your thoughts?

an SWF will make Knock out obsolete, trade it out for Nurse's and you have yourself a solid build.

Interesting how often do you think I'll encounter a swf group in dbd rank 1. That's my goal. Cause knock out still works against solos

Fairly often I'd say. At least 1 in every 5 matches. Nurse's is just the safer option but I can see why you run Knock Out

ehh 4 mans arent too common but even a duo will ######### you and they are common

From my understanding of rank 1 survivors. Is that they won't heal as much against legion. Cause it's smarter to rush gens.

So will nurse's be that useful. Cause as you saw what I wrote before. I don't often find myself getting that much value out of nurse. By the time they figure out I'm slugging. will they wait for the last moment to pick up their friends or will it be more optimal for them to heal a slugged survivor. What is the counter play?
Or how about the Brutal Strength to destroy loops faster as legion to create a dead zone.

My thoughts are that this is a way to bully Solo's and nothing else. There is no other purpose to these kinds of builds but to make absolutely sure your full solo-que opponents have one of the worst and most boring games of their lives.

I run the same style on legion. My build;
Knockout, starstruck, thrilling tremors, nurse's calling
Gives good info and forces Survivors to cluster

So I tend to run Third Seal, Undying, Nurse's, and Knockout. Then I run Defaced Smiley Pin and either a duration or recovery add-on. Get them mangled so it takes longer to get them off the ground. Keep them blind. Then I like either Hawkins or Midwich.

Don't do this. 4 man slugging is just the worst gameplay. I'd rather be face camped by bubba because atleast I'll get out of the match faster than being slugged the entire game.

Oh boy,this reminds me of that one game i played against a Sloppy Butcher + Knockout Doctor on Shelter Woods.
Spent the whole game trying to pick up my poor baby teammates that were constantly slugged on the edge/corners of the map.
Absolutely miserable and unnecessary

I went against a Nurse with IF and Third Seal/Undying. She was so proud and happy that she finally won a trial (even though she was an amazing Nurse). She really didn't like it when I explained the details of the situation and why her stratagey was effective. Or that she bled two people to death.
