    Self preservation can be switched out for baby sitter to make it more effective or the new lucky break :)

    Whispers and Surge are part of my doctor build now


    Oppression, Thrilling Tremors, Spies from the Shadows are fun too. Doctor is one of the versatile killers that can run multiple sets well.

    dance with me is an underrated perk indeed. but against rank 15 killers

    I would run i'm all ears if cooldown was at least 30 seconds. I often hit injured survivor while he vaulting and it reveals aura of downed survivor.

    Prove Thyself is not underrated. Most of my matches someone using this perk.

    Survivor perks:

    1. Fixated
    2. Detective's Hunch
    3. Inner Strength
    4. Botany Knowledge
    5. We'll Make It


    Autodidact is not underrated, because in most matches, it helps the killer more than the survivors. You need at least five healing skill checks to get a benefit out of it, and it's just not likely to happen, at least, not with the RNG I've been dealt. And even if you do manage to get it all the way stacked to the max, it's no better than an active We'll Make It.

    Fixated is massively underrated, IMO. It is a phenomenal stealth perk that does well with exhaustion, too.


    As for Killer perks, the only ones that come to mind for me are Surveillance and Overcharge. Killer perks are on average much more effective than survivor perks so a lot more of them are accurately judged for their value.

    I’m all ears, Bond and we’ll make it aren’t really underrated perks. People know that they’re good but they don’t run them because they’re inferior to the meta perks.

    As people have already pointed out, MYC is an extremely underrated perk.

    I love to run it on Freddy for that sweet extra lethality.
