Clairvoyance buff idea (it REALLY needs one)

in Feedback and Suggestions

First off, i'm aware that this perk is by no means meant to be strong. The problem I have with it is that it's not really that unique. There are alternatives that are much better.

My suggestion to buff it would be simple:

  1. When channelling Clairvoyance, both you AND your team see the auras. (Like a glass bead)
  2. Increase the duration of usage from 10 seconds to 14/15/16 seconds. To match a similar time it takes to cleanse a totem and so it is similar duration to a map too.

With these changes, it's still not going to be very strong or meta AT ALL. But it will at least get some use. It will also encourage teammates to do gens.

    I don't like this perk at all, Mikaela should be like hag but a survivor, what I am saying is, her 3 perks should be boon

    Another boon would be cool! The only difference is that all boon perks stack and are able to be put on a totem multiple times in a match; unlike hexes on three separate totems, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. I’m not even sure how BHVR can introduce too many more boon perks. In a SWF you’ll just have one teammate dedicated to running boon perks boosting the whole team.

    Either way, Clairvoyance is doo doo. If anything for the fact it goes against her two own perks instead of coordinating with them. It should also work when blessing totems if it’s going to maintain such a weak effect. Otherwise give it something better entirely.

    considering her character and perks, don't see why clairvoyance doesn't detect totems; to balance it out, the duration could be shortened to 3-5 seconds

    I'm guessing they've done this so the perk doesn't detract from Small game, detective's hunch etc.

    But, the problem is, they haven't given us a reason to use Clairvoyance over those perks instead,

    I believe that giving the perk a Glass bead effect will still make it a niche perk, but it will be a lot more fun and viable. On an indoor map? help your teammates find gens! Just finished the last gen? Help your teammates find the exit gates!

    Just out of curiosity, does blessing a totem count for this? (Haven't seen much ptb gameplay)

    If not it totally should.

    Nope, cleansing only at the moment.
