This is more of your own personal tier list of which perks, other than med-kits, is the best with self-healing and why. The perks being Self-care, Inner Strength, and Boon:Circle of Healing. Now obviously, I know COH is the best healing perk in the game, but even then, I would still like to hear your thoughts on it.

For me it's, Boon:Circle of Healing > Inner Strength > Self-care.

    Circle of healing is obviously strong, superior to self-care, but I think the way inner strength can synergize with other perks fairly well makes it equal. I've been having a lot of fun with a self care/inner strength/built to last/MoM (w/ medkit) build myself lately.

    Also in terms of healing speed I tend to prefer desperate measures over botany knowledge, it just feels more clutch when you need it.

    I'm gonna go with Inner Strength/Healing if you're using it in a good build where there's synergy going on.

    It's just so powerful, I appreciate teammates who use it and get consistent value from it throughout the match. It saves a lot of time and encourages cleansing totems FOR GOOD which helps towards negating a possible NOED.

    I know Circle of Healing also encourages "cleansing" totems but there's a chance that if the killer snuffs it NOED could still be a problem transferring to it e-e

    I just like Inner Strength/Healing but I'm a biased totem hunter. Honestly CoH is insane because it can give multiple survivors self heal potential and that's nutty.

    Also shoutout to Self Care. While I like Self Care I'd just as soon run Botany Knowledge + a nice medkit for loads of faster healing and consistent +33% heal speed on my teammates.

    Self-care takes 32 seconds to heal yourself and has infinite uses.

    Inner Strength takes 22 seconds to heal yourself (8 in locker + 14 to cleanse) and has finite uses.

    Boon: Circle of healing takes 30 seconds to heal yourself (16 to heal + 14 to bless) and has infinite uses. The boon also gives a 16 second self-care perk to your entire team, and reducing team-related healing by 8 seconds.

    ---

    So the boon heals you faster than self care, has infinite uses over Inner Strength, and gives your entire team pre-nerf self-care and other healing buffs.

    My vote goes to the boon.
