Justice for the Perk Dark Devotion

What if the killer see the survivor's auras then we could keep the time the way it is?

This way there's no wasted time looking for someone. When you get close enough the TR would kick back in surprising the survivor but still giving them a chance to run.

Or would this be too much?

Here's what I want for DD:

• Gives the Obsession your TR while making your TR 0 meters for 30 seconds.

This means if you have a different TR, it can be beneficial. Imagine having a 48 meter TR as the Doctor with the help of Distressing + M&A. Then you pass it on to the Obsession causing a huge panic on the survivor team. The only killers who have a low TR will only suffer from this, but it can also be helpful since it could make the TR believable.

• You also lose your Red Stain for 30 seconds.

Just more power to the killer, so they can double back easier.

• Add a secondary effect to the perk: Survivors within the Obsession's TR will have a Killer Instinct effect.

Why not? It makes sense with the perk name because the Obsession is working for the Killer (Hince: Dark Devotion).

Yes I agree tinkerer is fun but yet another example of a perk that needs an increase in durations. Unless ur Billy nurse someone who can quickly cross map travel . It is over before u arrive at gen not to mention generator same thing complete before u arrive making it pointless . Need to have it activate earlier in gen progression

Plague kinda got done dirty with 2 of her perks and usually because of minor things that could use a little change/buff here and there to be useful.

The only changes I believe this Dark Devotion needs is a raise in the time its active for as you've suggested, removal of the Basic attack requirement, and to have the perk icon show how long its active for and how long its cooldown is by Lighting up and slowly filling to red, then darkening and have the red tick back down. Currently it just lights up with no indication of how long its been active for, and then darkens and fills to red for the cooldown, which overall is a bit confusing for the player using it.

If it could activate for any attack that does damage to the obsession, It would become strategically much more useful. Imagine Huntress Hitting the obsession with a hatchet from 20+ meters away causing it to activate? Nurse activating it on a survivor right after a blink, Or even better, EW3 Shape downing the obsession and then going after the rest of the team with no TR? It could be a huge advantage for them for a limited time! Would also be really funny if it activated when the obsession was damaged by trappers traps, but that might be pushing it. Currently you not only have to locate and hit the obsession, but also hit them with a basic attack, and lets face it, if you have the advantage to 1 shot the obsession, or use of ranged damage, you're gonna do it.

The fact that doing so renders this perk practically useless is sad, but even sadder is the time you waste after downing the obsession to hook them when this perk was activated by the hit that downed them. This leaves little to no time to capitalize on its effect, and pursue other Survivors with 0 TR. The low timer may have been intended so that you would abandon the obsession after hitting them, whether they were downed or just injured, but if you are in a good chase or have just downed a survivor, choosing to leave them slugged, or to purposely drop a good chase just so you can try and surprise their teammates is asking bit much. Especially when you only have 20 seconds of use. Raising the active time to 35-40 seconds would do much for this perks viability and usefulness overall.

The basic attack requirement should also be removed from Infectious Fright because there are a number of killers who use damaging powers to down survivors, and currently this perk is wasted on them because of this hindrance of a requirement. Who else here would love to down a survivor with a chainsaw and immediately see the location of all nearby survivors waiting to pounce with flashlights/party starters?

I suppose if one wanted to make a 1,000 IQ big brain play, you could combine Tinkerer with Discordance and Pop Goes the Weasel. Keep in mind, this build is pretty stupid...

1) See Discordance go off

2) Head towards generator that Discordance marked but keep far enough away that your terror radius isn't heard

3) Wait until Tinkerer activates

4) Approach generator and get a generator grab

5) Hook survivor

6) Kick the generator, so Pop Goes the Weasel applies during the mass chaos that ensues among the survivors wondering what the hell just happened

I just want it to work on Nurse's blink hits, they made her blinks affect MOM so why can't it affect Dark Devotion?

TBH it wouldn't really change how it affect SWF since the obessesion can just say "hey I can hear the killer coming" or someone else can say "Hey he has Dark Devotion, be our ears" I love the time changes though since this is a good perk on paper.

There's a lot of fun things you could do with this perk if it was reworked.

For example, m1 any survivor, they have the terror radius until they're healed by another survivor or downed while you keep yours with each rank as 1/2/3 survivors emitting a terror radius of 30ish meters. Do they hear their own terror radius? For balancing, maybe, it could layer with killer terror radius. For pure chaos and op bs that'd never be allowed and could counter swf, no. Despite being a ridiculous change, it's definitely fun to imagine everyone being terrified of one another and scattering all the time.

On paper it was probably designed to cause chaos and make survivors run from the obsession. Somewhere during development another idea was probably brought up to hide the killer terror radius instead and a "Why not combine the two?" happened, leading to happy design, but a broken perk.

If given some love, it can be a top tier perk even against the typical toxic swf group.
