Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick

Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick needs a numbers buff. I was running it along with Jagged Compass, Floods, and Gift of Pain on the Jigsaw map and barely got any value out of it after turning 5 regular hooks into Scourge Hooks. 12 meters is to small and it should probably be 20 meters but at least 16.

    Hangmans trick has always been pretty bad but with jagged compass it is actually useable. If you buffed this perk before jagged compass it would be useless but a buff to 20 meters would be good. Pair Hangmans trick, floods of rage, gift of pain and jagged compass you got a pretty decent build. You can hook surivors on non scourgehook all match and get benefits of FOR and GOP while increasing the coverage you get with hangman's trick.

    What it needs is a total rework with a brand new effect.

    I literally did run this build. It's in my post. That's why I'm discussing about it. It's still to week even if it worked on all hooks

    I hope hangmans trick future iterations has the effect of turning sabotarged hooks into scourge hooks when they respawn

    I think it needs an additional effect. It's awful.

    That's not a bad idea. Here's one of my ideas.

    Any Survivor that Sabotages a Hook will be injured or put into Deep wound if already injured.

    When a survivor is rescued from the Hook Hangman's Trick activates:

    After 5 seconds the Hook will break for 45 seconds. Any Survivors within 2/3/4 meters of the Hook will be injured.

    (Works with Breakdown also)
