Save Diamond Stone

Diamond Stone is being removed, it will be replaced by Iridescent Stone. I propose that Iridescent Stone is added without removing Diamond Stone.

Diamond Stone was Trapper's best add-on and removing it is a significant nerf to him.

    I really want to keep the diamond stone but they have to remove it as they want all killers to have 1 ultra rare addon and its either diamond or iridescent. They chose iridescent.

    Now get rid of insta heals, bnp, unlimited ew3, insta down hatchets etc.

    Im sorry to say but i don't think BNP is going anywhere. I dont think they are nerfing any survivor addons

    Diamond Stone effect is NOT being completely removed, but it is being applied to Honing Stone. So Honing Stone will put a survivor in dying state, if they manage to free themselves, but the catch here is that if another survivor helps with the untrapping, the survivor will just be injured. Sounds pretty fair to me.

    Meh.  Not at all.  As a trapper main, I couldn’t disageee more.  A couple of reasons:  

    1. Diamond stone is an ultra rare.  I’m it’s current form, it’s not a common enough add on for its removal to be a nerf.  
    2.  Iridescent stone is leaps and bounds better - traps being set are going to be far more common and troublesome for survivors.  
    3.  Honing stone is getting a major buff.  Honing stone will be (essentially) the new diamond stone, which is undeniably more common than its ultra rare counterpart.  Granted, it won’t be as strong as diamond stone, but given all of his other buffs including the new more common bag, we don’t want to OVER power trappy boy.

    The extra traps and faster trapping is going to make the Trapper a better killer than already it is now. I really like the rework on paper. And it'll be up in PTB, so players can test it out and then comment on the changes. It's not wise to make judgments rn based on just what's being told to us.

    Yeah, I thought they said Diamond Stone would convert to Iridescent Stone.

    They stated on their twitch stream that BNP is thankfully getting nerfed hard. It wont be an instagen anymore thankfully.

    Honing Stone is basically going to be the new Diamond stone. The new honing stone has it where if you free yourself from a trap you go into the dying state but if a survivor frees you then you can avoid the dying state. Since it is so rare to have a survivor help free someone it will work out quite well.

    All these reworks are only going to the PTB. Have to wait and see what the final form of them is going to be afterwards. They may get nerfed, buffed, left alone, or completely removed. BNP is going to be a Rare now too I think, not an Ultra-Rare.

    Love the Trapper rework though. I had a lot of fun playing as him, but even in the middle Ranks I had problems so I put him aside in favor of the Hag. Will definitely be revisiting him once the changes go live.
