What if Boil over...
Remove intensity of wiggling buff, but totally remove all hooks aura?

I’d just do a quick check for a hook before picking up after the first time.
Would be kinda useless.

It would be useless because you can simply check around the area for hooks once you know someone has Boil Over.
It's fine in its current state.

Would be rather useless. There's rarely a situation where you're not going to be near a hook.

It's a cool concept, but underwhelming. If you were to trade off the wiggle intensity (which on its own isn't all that impactful following the Boil Over nerf back in 5.7.0) I think you'd need more than lacking auras. Maybe something like "While being carried by the Killer apply a 1% hindered effect every 3 seconds to the killer (stacking)."

boil over is pretty weak, if you wished to touch it a sidegrade won't do.

It was fine then killers cried incessantly and guess what they nerfed it right away. They also nerfed RPD in fact made it into 2 different maps and got rid of catwalks in library. They will also only rework survivor sided maps. Over nerf survivor perks. Keep broken stuff that helps killer for months (merciless storm, invisible wesker, alien, broken female vaults, etc) Buff all of killer basekit, etc.
So yeah game used to be survivor sided when it came out, now its killer sided. You'll be able to tell by the amount of hate i get for this message or any message in here that suggests buffing survivor or nerfing killer.

More experienced killers wouldn’t have much of an issue with it but it would be way too punishing to newer killers who haven’t learnt about hook spawns yet.
The only people that would get consistent value from it are sabo squads, and I don’t think SWFs need more perks like that.
I don’t think Boil Over can ever really be good. The way it’s designed means it’s either going to be completely useless or extremely exploitable.

Well, you might have had a point (or points), but even implying that the old RPD library situation was even in the region of the vicinity of the neighborhood of fair kinda invalidates everything else you have to say.
Saying categorically stupid things will do that.

I'm really on the fence on this perk... as a console player it only tends to catch me out when I'm lazy with my pick ups, and even then tends to annoy me more than anything else... however it rarely prevents a hook, and it's almost always my mistake when it does.
As such I can't call it overpowered and warranting nerfs... but it is a nuisance xD

Boil Over is one of those Perks which only exists in specific builds where it is really annoying. It rarely does anything, but it is not in regular builds IMO.
@Topic:
Would be really weak. The Aura-Blocking almost never impacts me, you will have plenty of Hooks to see without Aura-Reads. Maybe it would be good on Indoor-Maps, but thats about it.
That being said, I would be for this change. It is not like the Perk is Meta or anything, and it would be a nerf to a weak Perk, but it would make the Perk overall more healthy.
