Wanted Buffs or Nerfs?

I dont think Billy's engravings needs a nerf or is in S tier (Top of A tier IMO). I wish they gave him a new set of addons so billy players can use different varieties instead of Doom + Boots .

I love this idea, it would really help them be a jumpscare killer

But I'm really liking the idea of the Silent Shadow perk on them.

Survivor Perks:

• Vigil (does way too much, ruins a lot of status effect centric killer builds, buffs Sprint Burst which doesn't need a buff)
• Resurgence (Punishes the killer for hooking and then walking away from the hook, neither of which are things which should be disincentivized)
• Sprint Burst (I'm not really sure what I'd do to it, but it's the best exhaustion perk by far and leads to really unengaging gameplay)
• Hyperfocus or Stake Out (These perks on their own are fine, together they're a problem. Either Hyperfocus needs to trigger off of something other than great skill checks, or Stake Out needs to give a different benefit than guaranteed great skill checks)

Killer Perks:

• Pain Resonance/Dead Man's Switch (the main problem I have with this is that it disproportionately affects new and solo queue players, who either don't know to pre-let go of gens or can't warn their allies. Easy fix, just remove the scream from Pain Res, it doesn't even do anything anymore except specifically trigger DMS since they removed showing the survivor's location)
• Coulrophobia (the perk that enables the slug-only playstyle, basically only gets used for that. Wouldn't be a problem if not for the slug-only playstyle, but since it enables it and it is miserable to play against, it sadly needs to go for the same reason Knock Out had to get reworked)
• Forced Hesitation (this perk is only ever used for people who plan to make tunneling and slugging their main win condition. It has no other purpose, just an unhealthy perk)
• Dissolution (another absolutely dreadful perk to play against, used to not be a problem until they started adding killers who can injure so easily like Ghoul and Krasue while still being strong killers)

Special Mention

• Hex: Two Can Play/Blast Mine/Flashbang. (TO BE CLEAR, I'm not asking for nerfs to these perks, just a general mention in regards to the blind effect in this game and how I have seen photosensitive people complain about it. While killers can protect themselves with Lightborn, survivors have no protection. All three of these perks cause a sudden flash of bright light in the player's face. They really need an accessibility option to make the blind effect a screen darkening one in general so that photosensitive killers don't have to run Lightborn and photosensitive survivors don't need to worry about being flashed with bright light with no warning anymore)

Infectious Fright is just as big if not a bigger offeneder with the slugging issue than Coulrophobia. They both need changes

I use Forced Hesitation with Weave and Frankin's to get reads and hits on people near downs. It's an anti-sabo perk for me, not a tunneling and slugging perk.

Medkits, Toolboxes, Flashlights 5 addon rework:

https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/468348/medkits-toolboxes-and-flashlight-should-get-map-and-key-treatment#latest

Survivor perks:
Buff:

• Self-Care - Pretty useless and detrimental to bring in the current form, especiallly if there are any anti-heal perks in play.
  Decreased healing speed penalty from 65% to 50%
• Decisive Strike - Against certain killers, this perk does absolutely nothing.
  Increase stun duration to 5 seconds, in addition to making the survivor Elusive for 20 seconds.
• Spine Chill - 6.1.0 completely destroyed the perk, and it has never really seen any use since then.
  Rework: If the killer looks, and moves in your direction when you are 32 meters or more away from them, you see their aura for 4 seconds, and you become Elusive any time you see the killer's aura.
• (Both) Invocations - Detrimental, and is a huge time-sink if you decide to do them.
  Decrease the time requirement to 45 seconds (down from 60 seconds), and exposes you for 180 seconds after performing the ritual (instead of leaving you permanently broken)
  Expose is just as risky as being broken, but does not drop blood orbs for Oni.
• Cut Loose - Super niche, and awkward to use.
  Increase duration window to 10 seconds (up from 6 seconds), and decrease the cooldown to 20 seconds.
  thanks @sizzlingmario4 for the idea.

Nerf:

• Vigil - Turbo-busted in the current form.
  Needs to be split into two different perks, where one perk reduces Exhaustion only, and the other reduces status effects.
  Intensity needs to be brought down to 40% from 66%
• Sprint Burst - Quite the problematic perk, especially for 4.4 killers to deal with.
  Remove the Exhaustion component from the perk, and instead give it a cooldown of 90 seconds, so that it cannot be used together with Vigil.
  QOL change: Does not activate automatically when running, and you have to use the Active Ability button instead.

Killer perks:
Buff:

• Bloodhound - Hardly ever sees any use.
  Added a Haemorrhage effect on basic attacks, so that tracking becomes better (i.e. increased bleeding frequency)
• Hex: Two Can Play - Pretty bad in its current form, especially for a Hex perk.
  Increase the blindness duration on survivors to 2.5 seconds (up from 1.5 seconds)
• Septic Touch - Also pretty bad.
  Make the range map-wide, so that it is actually useful on every killer.
• Help Wanted - Got hit hard from Diminishing Returns.
  Increase the duration to 90 seconds, and increase the strength to 40%

Nerf/rework:

• Nowhere to Hide
  Locks the aura read radius to the affected generator instead of the killer.
  Range decreased to 16 meters, down from 24 meters.
  Aura read duration increased to 10 seconds (up from 5)
• Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance - Highly overused, and stale at this point in time.
  Reworked to cursing the generator with the most progress, where upon completion, the survivor(s) who complete it are inflicted with Deep Wounds, and gain the Broken status effect for 40 seconds.
  Multiple generators can be cursed at the same time, based on progress when afflicted.
• Turn Back The Clock
  No longer works in killer powers. Sorry to all of you Ghoul and Blight mains.
  Now has a cooldown of 60 seconds before it can be used again.
• Dead Man's Switch
  Rework: When a generator is completed, the next generator that gets to at least 60% completion will explode, inflicting an injured or a deep wound state to any survivor working on it, or standing within an 8 meter radius.
  The affected generator will lose all progress made up to that point, and the perk is permanently deactivated for the remainder of the trial.
• Pop Goes The Weasel
  Rework: After kicking a generator, this generator will become Compromised.
  When the Compromised generator is completed, it pops, and all Survivors within 16 meters of it will become Incapacitated and Oblivious for 30 seconds.
  Increase confetti by 100%

Killers:

• Nurse
  Permanent debuff: Cannot see survivor auras.
• Ghoul
  Increase fatigue from canceling leaps to 3 seconds (to fully eliminate cancel-tech)
  Remove the animation of locking the survivor in place when landing a sucessful Kagune Strike
• Wesker
  Killswitched until ALL bugs are fixed.
  Any "tech" looked at carefully.
• Blight
  Tone down Crow and Rat (or rather rework them)
  

Coulrophobia should only affect survivors healing from the injured state. This makes the perk a lot healthier while keeping its identity.

Make survivors start with headtraps that aren't affected by add-ons, while allowing Amanda to have her 4 to use throughout the match (the ones she has affected by her add-ons). Drop the timer to 2 minutes and rework tamper timer to not affect the death time. Have the end game collapse activate traps, and split her grease and workshop add-ons into a classic BHVR buff providing incentive to bring add-ons that affect her main power while still leaving room to improve her chase.

This aligns very well lore wise considering she is gonna rig the match by bringing her own traps, as-well as players starting in a jigsaw trap. (Also buff her perks)

Survivor perk nerfs:

-Deliverance disables on endgame.

-Wicked disables on endgame.

-Shoulder the Burden no longer inflicts Exposed, but instead injures you and inflicts Broken (akin to For The People)

Wouldn't a lot of those be nerfs, not buffs?

OTR, WGLF, and Lucky Break have all basically only been buffed since release, exempting the duration nerf for OTR and the speed nerf for WGLF. The release iterations of those perks were all missing key components - OTR didn't have Endurance or scratch mark blocking, WGLF only increased BP gain on release, and Lucky Break didn't block scratch marks + couldn't be recovered on release - and even only partial reversions would be walking back buffs for the most part.

Trickster and Blight were also much worse on release. Especially Trickster- Blight's release was before my time but I do remember Trickster's release and he was godawful.

Some of these I do see the reasoning, but I'm curious if I'm missing something on the ones I mentioned.

Pig's ambush scream should start the same time she starts moving not when she is loading it.

Sprintburst → 60 seconds of exhaustion
