Buff Premonition

Premonition is a nice perk, but it feels kind of weak. It should give you more of a head start when trying to leave an area safely and it should have a lower cooldown. Something like this:

Premonition

Get an auditory warning when looking in the direction of the Killer in a 45° cone within a range of 45 metres.

Premonition has a cool-down of 45/30/15 seconds each time it activates.


Most killers move at 4.6 m/s and their terror radius is 32 metres. In its current state, Premonition only gives you approximately 1 additional second to react. If its range were increased from 36 metres to 45 , it would give you 3 additional seconds to react when the killer is coming.

    That seems to be a good idea!

    I just started using it and was amazed by how useful it is. But I have the feeling 45 meters would make the perk worse, not better: with 45 meters it would go off even when the killer is not heading towards you, chasing someone else, etc. It would just prevent you from working on generators. Take it with a grain of salt: as I said, I'm still experimenting with it, but that's how I feel about it. Though the cooldown period seems a little too long for me too.

    @PeepingPeacock : I'm curious, why would you say Spine Chill is better? Sure there's no cooldown, but how does it help against a stealthy killer to know they're looking your way if you have no idea from which direction? You may just run right into them. Never used it myself, so I could be wrong.

    @George_Soros Some unsafe generators become very safe and:

    1. Spinechill can help you with finding out that killer has Surveillance.
    2. Spinechill is a great help in juking the killers, especially the spirit.
    3. It can counter the nurse
    4. You can easily say when killer is stopping to chase you, so you can heal.
    5. It helps you to deal with the nightmare, thanks to the skillcheck chance.

    Yes, premonition should have the cooldown reduced below 20s. he has potential to be a great such as 80% low tier perks.

    @George_Soros death to the meta amen brother.

    My two cents: Premonition should work on thrown hatchets.
