Yeah I was just thinking that while reading the other thread. So you could do a quick little spinny and reveal her aura but she still wouldn't see you or the light while phasing.

you're honestly not wrong. it shouldve been nondirectional phasing or you can't hear the phase sound in terror radius, not both

You can actually blind her if she tries that mindgame where she stands still and pretends to phase. It's happened to me before :/

Proposed Alternative Prayer Beads effect: During Haunting, your Terror Radius affects the entire map.

This makes it so survivors still can't hear her phasing sound, but also gives all survivors a heads up warning that she's phasing and puts them under the effects of any TR perks. I believe it would be a fair trade. Most players hate Prayer Beads because they allow her to pull off quick grabs from gens, totems, hooks, and switches without giving them any warning. This way, they'll have plenty of warning, but still won't be able to tell if she's coming after them or someone else, and letting spirit get usage out of perks like Coulrophobia, Unnerving Presence, and Overwhelming Presence could make for some fun builds.

As for the Flashlight burn thing, trying to focus a flashlight on a killer moving at 6+m/s, or just scanning around with one just to see if she's headed your way is a silly waste of the flashlight. Alternatively Focusing it on her husk already tells you if shes faking her phase or not, and if it canceled out her ability and stunned her, it would be a bit too broken. We already have perks like Spine Chill that tell us if she's coming our way while phasing, so there's really no need for her to have a power that can be canceled by survivors at any given time.

Take Wraith for example: He's translucent, needs to ring a bell to announce he's coming out of it, moves slower during the uncloaking transition, and can be flashlight burned/stunned at any time while cloaked. There's a reason that, after his update, he's still considered a low tier killer and no one ever complains about his Ultra Rare add-on that makes his bell silent.

If flashlight burning was introduced as a counter to Spirits power, there would be no need to rework Prayer Beads as it might become the only way she ever surprises anyone, and due to this massive weakness I'm betting her high rank viability would drop a tier. I've been happy about Spirit ever since she came out because now instead of just Nurse and Billy, we also get Spirit in the high ranks. However, I am starting to notice more Freddy's there now, so maybe dropping her down to mid-tier would be okay since he can replace her. It's not like anyone ever complains about how the high ranks don't have enough killer diversity right?

I agree, except not all killers are able to get on that tier level. Their powers simple don’t give them enough chase potential or map pressure to compete with Nurse, Spirit, Billy, and Hag. You can buff Leatherface so he doesn’t get slowed by revving his chainsaw or Trapper by making it so he starts with ALL of his traps but even then they can’t pressure multiple places like Hag and Billy or end a chase as quickly as Nurse and Spirit.

No one complains about his silent bell because it's not even supposed to be an ultra rare, it was and always will be a brown add-on to me.

The difference from the wraith is that she's actually good.

And ? I still don't want her power to be in the hands of survivors.

I still disagree, I don't like killers being hard countered by a single item. She would be like Hag, with a good power, but probably unplayable against teams with flashlights. She is a 110% speed killer with a cooldown, her power shouldn't be in the hands of the survivors in any way possible.

I'd be up for this suggestion.

However, since the M1 Killers are still in the same state as before, I don't believe, the only viable Killers should be receiving some heavy or huge nerf, until the M1 Killers would be buffed, to at least, Billy Junior's level.

For example, MacMillan could receive a X % Haste status effect for placing a trap, there may be an Add-on, that causes Broken status effect - Not the Mangled, but Broken, (...).

There are so many possible ways, but nothing is happening... Which is, truly a shame.

Not that it'd make the game more fun for the Killers, but for Survivors too - They'll be finally able to play against different Killers than just against Rin, Sally, Lisa, or Billy Junior.

...Touché.

Or just make players rely on their eyes instead of ears, it's too easy to hear people while Phasing now, i remember bugged footstep sounds where it was almost not possible to hear survivors footsteps, that was the time she wasn't that strong and yet she could have been very dangerous.

So that every time she uses it at a pallet she is either :

A-blinded or

B- has her power cancelled.

Seems like power in the hands of survivors again...

At 2:22 does it count? It even stops the Legions power at 1:53 Firecrackers only work once but they're pretty common so you guys could maybe try it out and see how it works.
