Some uses for new Eruption.

The proposed eruption nerf is harsh there is no saying otherwise, it lost lot of potential as a gen defence perk and will struggle on your average killer. Despite this the new effect is interesting. 10 seconds of aura reading is very strong, as an alternative to a perk like Infectious Fright or Floods of Rage it defiantly has the ability to compete. Gen kicking has other options with Call of Brine and No Where to Hide so to say this perk will be unusable is a bit unfair as it has its synergies, but who will use it?

1. Oni: The most obvious example, anyone who has ever used bitter murmur or Floods of Rage on Oni knows his potential with aura reading. Halfway across the map and need to activate power first, even the 5 seconds from Bitter Murmur can quickly translate to a down so getting 10 whole seconds is amazing. Infectious is already good on Oni but remember this perk has added synergy with No Where to Hide, CoB and Lethal which are all very strong perks on Oni too so I don't think one is strictly better than the other but it will be a good option on this killer. I could see you running eruption without other gen kicking perks on this killer in particular just due to how you use aura reading. Other high mobility killers like Blight or Billy could use this in a similar way or other killers with time sensitive powers like plague, although Oni stands out here as the best to use this.
2. Ghost Face: Once you realise stalking someone to 99% is basically a ranged injure they can't heal, this combo seems so much better. Similarly to Oni perks like No Where to Hide and lethal are already good on this killer although I will say GF will be more reliant on these synergies than Oni. This last part of this isn't to do with the perk but GF, the fact that survivors on the ground reveal you can make this awkward and needing your power up after doing someone isn't something you always have control over. I can still see this being good however when used with Ghost Face Caught on Tape addon to recharge your power on down or perhaps even a use for Chewed Pen (a bit hopeful however). Huntress I'll quickly note as a similar example and although she'll like the aura reading even more she doesn't like having to slow down to kick gens as a 4.4 killer.
3. Nurse Pyramid Head: Yea all perks a good on nurse but Pyramid is good for the same reason. These killers do want to be somewhat close to make use of the aura reading, nurse more so after the removal of range, but 10 seconds is long enough that you don't need to be too close and most situations after kicking a gen you won't be on the opposite side of the map afterwards. Aura reading on these killers combos greatly with their ability to ignore walls on their attack methods leading to a one sided interactions where the killer is heavily favoured. Nurse has a lot of good perk synergies but as with the previous bits No Where to Hide and Lethal which are good combos with eruption are also good on nurse. Pyramid doesn't love kicking gens but it isn't bad and he doesn't really have much else to do with his perks so you might as well.

I understand the backlash toward these change, seemingly redesigning the perk, however I feel like the perk keeps its identity as a trap and with the right killers you can make that trap feel punishing still. Perhaps 10% current regression is too harsh when compared to a flat 10%, although I don't think current regression is a complete death sentence for perks, and the cooldown could be removed if it's having a less oppressive affect but the new aura reading should lead to some fun and interesting new builds. I would like to hear if anyone else has any ideas as what they want to do with this, any killers I missed or fun interactions that could be done.
