Survivor endurance meta
Off the charts. They can take so many free hits. Can't keep up as trickster or any m1 killer right now. All they do is outperk me at this point.

If survivors run gen rush builds, killers complain. If survivors run chase builds, killers complain. If survivors run sabo builds, killers complain. If survivors run endurance builds (mainly wglf after the deserved buff), killers complain. News at 11.

Endurance out of Borrowed time/self unhook and off the record lasts 10 seconds or less. Form really only 3 sources, unhook, healing someone else while injured or picking up someone downed. So if your having an issue don't tunnel or slug so hard.

I mean, after the Distortion gut survs had to replace it with something else.

It's the same thing with survivors complaints. Can't track with aura perks. Can't regress gens with perks, can't take away anything survivors bring with perks, killers are too OP with this addon, that killer power, can't chase a single survivor because it's tunneling. Can't chase away survivors before picking up because it's slugging. Can't hump after downing, Quit being hypocritical.

Trickster shreds through endurance, though?
4 -
Here's the difference: every killer perk is overbuffed. Quit simplifying the problem.

"Don't tunnel or slug so hard"
The only other option is multi hooking which has been, is currently, and forever will be the single biggest detriment to killer gameplay until they add any actual rewarding feature to it.
5 -
That is extremely uncalled for.
1 -
No. Never! Hypocritical is how we do things here. You know this, why are you telling people to stop? You're ruining the Entities culture here! May you forever be in the doctor's shocked state.
3 -
Maybe I LIKE Doc's Shocking experience, it's at least stimulating. Because anything said here ain't as shocking to me.
2 -
Yet you remain. Do yourself and us a favor. Play the game instead of lurk here and be negative. Thanks!

It's a forum for a reason. To answer back, are you new?
BTW, I'm not the one being negative over anything. It's the one's being hypocritical, being mains.

If Killers run Aura builds, Survivors complain. If Killers run Regression builds, Survivors complain. If Killers run Hex builds, Survivors complain. If Killers run Stealth builds(Mainly after Distortion got the deserved nerf), Survivors complain. News at 11.

I am! And bored…. Do you main doctor? Can we 1v1 sometime? I need to learn timing with his shocks tbh lol
0 -
Killers need a status effect Armor pierce to bypass endurance perks
2 -
I don't main Doc. I play both sides, I am a Robbie the Rabbit Legion main and Vittorio. I did a 1v1 once like Otz back in the day when Coldwind was Coldwind. It was boring.

Its not for everyone. Good luck in your survivor games! :P

endurance from OTR literally lasts 80s

actually strong killer perks:
Pain Resonance (and not even that strong anymore)
Corrupt Intervention (basically a necessity for huge majority of killers)
Nowhere to Hide
Pentimento agaisnt soloQ
Weave Attunement (in combo with Franklins)
Predator (on Nurse)
Machine Learning
Predator and Nowhere to Hide are only perks on the "too strong" category on this list when used on soecific killers, while Pentimento is just plain unhealthy.
actually strong survivor perks:
Deliverance
Off the Record
DS
Wicked
Lithe
Sprint Burst
Plot Twist
Reassurance
Resurgence
Power Struggle (in combination with Flip Flop especially)
Babysitter
Second Wind
We'll Make It
Unbreakable
WGLF
Adrenaline
BGP
new Blood Rush
Botany Knowledge
Chemical Trap
Dead Hard
Deli, Resurgence, OTR, DS, Reassurance, BGP, Plot Twist are 7 of arguably the strongest survivor perks atm.
There are a whole lot of unhealthy perks that revolve around hook denying which aren't added to this list.
Top tier strong perks on survivor side: 7 (arguably there are even more)
Top tier strong perks on killer side: 2
^^^we are counting only strongest kind of perks that can be used in the most optimal play

You forgot Healing builds/stealth builds/anti hook builds/anti tunnel builds/anti slug builds/blind/stun builds come now no slacking!!!!!!!!! :P
5 -
Lots of survivor perks though counteract each other. You've got an exhaustion limitation and doing something like running Deliverance and Wicked would be a total waste of a perk slot.
Additionally, lots of these perks are total guesses at the killer and play style. Bring anti tunnel and the killer doesn't tunnel you? Wasted slots.

only limitation of Deli and Wicked is soloQ because even if you tell your teammates you have it, they will come to unhook you anyways.
Additionally, lots of these perks are total guesses at the killer and play style. Bring anti tunnel and the killer doesn't tunnel you? Wasted slots.
anti-tunneling perks are also extremely strong for aggressive usage, when killer isn't even tunneling. That's basically how they are used at high skill levels and the reason why they are meta pick there even with the fact that tunneling is much less present.

Whatever their strength, deliverance and wicked run into each other. A survivor would never run both in an optimal scenario (the structure you created). Just like exhaustion perks run into each other. Just like how healing perks quickly see declining returns.
Killer perks are much better at stacking. It's why the four gen slowdown build has led to massive nerfs.
anti-tunneling perks are also extremely strong for aggressive usage, when killer isn't even tunneling. That's basically how they are used at high skill levels and the reason why they are meta pick there even with the fact that tunneling is much less present.Much less present?
And extremly strong for aggressive usage is an extreme exaggeration. Usable? Sure, but the time the survivor is trying to set up an OTR block or DS grab is time they could be spent doing gens or healing (not to mention that they could be using those slots for something else).
And if we're going to talk about how things are used at high skill levels, you need to add Self-Care and its dominance in Asia as an S tier perk.

that's true, and that's why you usually bring 1 exhaustion perk and Deli or Wicked + not everyone in team should bring Deli/Wicked for obvious activation reasons

i think it was done intentionally since killer is solo role and survivor is a multi role.
Much less present?

actually, it depends on region. EU players and comp teams in general utilize aggressive usage of anti-tunneling perks the most (with the comp perk repeat prevention limit). The reason why anti-tunneling perks aren't used more often in general is because that strategy of using them actually has a significantly higher skill floor macro wise.
And if we're going to talk about how things are used at high skill levels, you need to add Self-Care and its dominance in Asia as an S tier perk.
yeah, i noticed that too, but i'm not yet able to realize why is it so much used, apart from combining it with Botany Knowledge. But still, since Asian rulesets are much less liberal, it makes me confused even more.

If we run gen regression survivors complain (and get nerfs) if we chase a survivor survivor complain (and get nerfs) if we hook survivor complains (and gets nerfed) more news at 11
5 -
gen slowdown meta is still the only killer meta in terms of perks even after all these nerfs because even after most of gen slowdown perks were shot in the legs, it's the only meta that stands a chance against any decent team
2 -
I nominate this as post of the year!!! Lol
6 -
The only problematic endurance in the game, in my opinion, is Off the Record. That perk is so freaking overturned it baffles me how it hasn't been nerfed until now. Pop Goes the Weasel, Thanatophobia, Background Player, and Distortion were nerfed for much less.
0 -
It probably hasn't been nerfed because you have to be useless for 80 seconds if you want to keep the endurance for the full duration.
8 -
not being on a gen does not necessarily equal being useless, hope that helps.
1 -
Lol.

???

You realize OTR locks you out of chests, totems, healing, and even exit gates right? If the survivor isn't being chased. What benefit are they getting from the perk?
7 -
you realize that good person can draw 60+ second out of chase while having OTR active and literally have one more free health state for a chase if killer overextends more?
3 -
Is no one here who remembered 5 stacked endurance hit meta back in 6.1? THAT was brutal. What we now got is a slight nusiance, where survivors can have a maximum of one active endurance before going into deep wound. Occasionally such an endurance effect will cost you the game, especially when applied cleverly via styptic agents in a corner just before the last sprint to the exit gates, but well, as much as I am miffed in such moments, thats just their build and their power, just as an hatched can get you mere meters before you got to the exit area.
But keep your rage if endurance stacking came back in any way, that would be truly concerning. Until then, try to vent your rage in some constructive way and come back to the next match with a clear mind :)
6 -
I wouldn't call body blocking and being chased useless, but you do you. The perk is busted no matter how you look at it.
2 -
People don't realize that OTR is essentially the same as having Second Wind activate instantly or Resurgence giving an entire health state instead of just 50% healing progression. The difference is that you just have to not be stupid enough to self care instantly off the hook or work on a gen in front of the killer. Oh, did I also mention that it mutes you?
3 -
This goes for both sides. Its nothing new. Killer gets a small tweak survivors complain, A buff to any killer perk especially gen regression, survivors complain and it gets nerfed, if a killer slugs to buy time, survivor complains, if a killer needs to tunnel someone out to create more pressure, survivors complain. Its the same thing. Just different sides.
2 -
mutes you and also hides your aura plus scratch marks (all of those except of endurance last for the whole 80s duration, even if you commit a conspicuous action)
1 -
Please don't remind me of those times especially when stacked with styptic, MOM,FTP and Made for this.
2 -
the reward is that's how the game was designed for you to get kills aka progress the game. You then have hook perks to reward you.
It becomes a personal decision when you want to circumvent OTR, DS, DH, or any other perk meant to mitigate crappy gameplay made popular by killer players thus forcing perks to combat said gameplay. Now you're mad you can't tunnel without some sort of potential drawback.
Ok, enjoy the WGLF meta that's upon us
2 -
Multi hooking is not how the game was designed to play.
Again, IT IS A DETRIMENT TO MULTI HOOK.
You are letting 4 survivors live to do gens. There is a reason, multi hooking has always been the worst way to play. That is the objective truth. Killers tunnel because there is no other choice. Killers slug because there is no other choice.
Multihooking is quite literally the last way to progress the game as a killer lmfao.
2 -
so basically, as we all suspected, the path of least resistance. Not news.
if the game was meant for you to tunnel then you'd not have perks to combat it or basekit mechanics but go off. The game evolved, adapt, or don't but don't try to shrug it off like there's no way to win without slugging or tunneling, that's bogus.
6 -
Talking about "adapt" brother. There is no adapting. It's called tunnel and slug to win consistently, or don't. What's bogus and disingenuous is acting like multihooking is anything other than garbage time wasting.
0 -
just dont tunnel or slug and youll be fine.
1 -
Some people really whiff way too much copium and try to sell it as Gospel here.
3 -
It doesn't hide scratch marks though. However, it is still too much. At this point, OTR may just do my college work, pay my bills, and wash my dishes.
1 -
Deserved buff, even though it was a perfect anti-slug tool already. And survivors can go perkless and beat killers. So yeah, we're gonna complain about those builds. The devs had the choice of buffing survivors or nerfing killers, but they chose both. They still haven't addressed stupid loops in the game where the killer has to make 3 back to back reads (or the survivor has to make 2-3 mistakes), just to get 1 hit on the survivor. And they keep nerfing anti-loop abilities because supposedly, "They have no counterplay" even though any high level match would debunk that instantly. That's the level we should be balancing around, not "Oh no! The killer found me! I'm dead!"
4 -
There's too many Endurance perks that are also good at other things. WGLF: bonus pickup speed, plus Endurance. Off The Record: 80 seconds of dead silence, plus Endurance. Made For This: faster running while in Deep Wound, plus Endurance.
Can you imagine if killer perks were like that? Take off 20% of a gen, plus Undetectable. Faster recovery on successful plus missed attacks. Hides a downed survivor's aura plus reveals all others. That's basically the power level Endurance perks are, if not stronger, because killer doesn't have a perk where a miss turns into a down. Survivors have plenty of perks that turn a down into essentially a miss, and the chase continues.
