Any word(s) on addressing the Grim Dead Man's combo?
Title.
I don't even see this combo that often, but I still think it's incredibly unhealthy and overpowered and shouldn't be in the game. Devs said they were "monitoring" it and gonna take any actions against it if necessary, but I can't help but wonder what's the conclusion of this "monitoring" they are doing and if there's any words on if this is gonna be changed soon or not?

Tbh they should rework DMS at this point. It always causes issues with other perks. It's problematic by nature and it doesn't even have any type of cooldown.
It's very dumb with Pain Res. ever since they messed up when hook-related perks trigger with the changes they made to hook screams. You can't even react to it because it's so random and inconsistent.
It's dumb with Ultimate Weapon cause you can just force it.
If I recall correctly there was a problem with Merciless Storm + DMS where they made some changes to fix it but then reintroduced the same problem back again.
It can be aggravating with Deadlock too since there's no limit to how much a gen can get blocked and the same gen keeps getting blocked and regressed and you just end up giving up.
There's also the problem where gens blocked by the entity cannot be regressed by design but they keep breaking that design every few patches and take a couple of weeks to fix it.
And now it is being problematic when combined with Grim Embrace but Grim Embrace isn't that problematic by itself.
It's also a very dumb perk to try and explain to a new player. Expecting newer players to understand why the gens keep getting blocked and grasp the needless minigame of when to "let go" off the gen so pain res. etc. doesn't trigger DMS bla bla is a very dumb conversation.
It's almost as if the same perk keeps causing issues and DMS should be looked at instead of other perks that are fine by themselves.

Agreed tbh. You also forgot to mention that it even works with Friends Till The End.

Actually you just need to leave your lovely generator right before the guy got his first hook and wait the GE take effect, then the DMS would not take effect to you.

Yeah, it's not fun to try to explain it. The game needs to do a better job for beginners explaining things.
Everything I learned about this game was a mix from reddit and me learning the very hard way myself.
UW is something else. It's basically better than the doctors main strength and it's just one perk.

Gen blocking in general is just so obnoxious, but I think DMS has been problematic for a while now.

No one will probably notice until you say so.

Every game requires you to learn stuff. You can't just baby everyone through every single thing that can happen.
