Is using Stridor a bad habit?
Should I use it or not? I mostly play Spirit now.

Not. Listen closer and have an extra perk slot.

Not possible on some configurations with chase music on. Best part is BHVR is trying to pretend nothing bad from their side...

He DID say he plays spirit, implying that he uses it for phase shift. Which is not a chase...

If you use it for Spirit Phasing, go ahead, otherwise, why would you use a QOL perk over a perk that truly helps.

If it helps you then continue using it. My favourite build with her is bbq&c, pop goes the weasel, sloppy butcher, and surveillance.
Strider usually messes me up as I'll think I'm closer to a survivor than I really am.

I forget chase music immediately stop as soon as you enter phasing...

I dont go into the theory but it is one of the best perks for the Nurse. For every other killer it doesnt seem to be useful at all.

Don't get rid of Stridor if you play Spirit. People constantly say you don't need it, and that's true most of the time yes, but then when you get a good survivor with Iron Will it will be an absolute train wreck, and you will wish you had Stridor.
Stridor lets you track injured survivors from a full tile away and hard counters Iron Will which is the perk that most counters your power. And IMO it's more useful than Nurse's because you can hide your aura, but you can't hide cries of pain.
Unlike other killers, Spirit doesn't really need much else besides Stridor. If it were someone else you could argue they really need the extra perk slot for something else, but Spirit doesn't. You can sacrifice a perk slot for permanent Stridor and still be plenty strong.
The reason most people get mess up using Stridor is because they are trying to use it to pinpoint a survivor's exact location. That's not how you use Stridor, you use it like a directional radar. If you hear cries to the left, turn left. To the right, turn right. Eventually you will be moving directly towards a survivor and once you are close enough there are other cues you can use to determine exactly where they are. You can also use sound, since if the sound immediately goes from in front to behind that means you just walked past a survivor.
Also it makes normal breathing louder, which believe it or not can make it way easier to find survivors that are really good at hiding. Especially Claudettes. The only time you really get benefit from hearing breathing like that is if you are basically right on top of the survivor anyway. And nothing will hide this, so it's impossible for survivors to avoid.
