Killer perk idea: Capricious energies
Everytime the survivor cleanse 3/2/1 dull totem they will scream sending an audio/ visual notification and revealing their aura to the killer for 3s/4s/5s and become exhausted for 15s.
Once the exit gates are powered the perk is deactivated.
Note: This is aimed at reducing the incentive to cleanse dull totems on the map when trying to go for hex totems. This would allow "Thrill of the hunt" to work with higher/max reduction speed.

What would make them scream?

When the totem is cleanse and break appart.

So would there be a hex totem around the map with a maximum of four dulls?

It's too weak right now. Why run this when at best I'll only see 2 survivor auras per game and it'll only be for 3 seconds. This doesn't help thrill of the hunt either since it will only show the aura after 2 totems have been cleansed.

Took both your opinions into consideration and modified it a bit. Also it is a perk now.

This perk mixed with NOED and Hex:TOTH is basically godly. The main counter to NOED is to do bones. This perk's aura revealing and exhaustion mixed with TOTH's Slower speed and knowing how many totems are left makes NOED a guaranteed pop even at high - mid (1-10) ranks.

I'm rank 4 but I see what you mean I'll add that it would turned off once the gate are powered

NOED activates after gens are done. There is no way to change how this affects NOED without completely changing the perk.
0 -
It turns off once the gate are powered so basically deactivated once noed activate.
It wasn't that hard to work around.

Why would a hex totem turn off though your sacrificing a slot for a perk that has a good chance of being cleansed
0 -
But once Hex:NOED is out there, there is barely any stopping it. Along with TOTH, there is still no way to get noed cleansed meaning no matter when you turn it off it will still help NOED. Also yeah turning a hex perk off is bad as it's main counter is turning it off by survivors.

Noed is OP anyways so I'm not going to balance it further with that in mind.
Yes the point of this hex is to help other hexes like or hate it.

I'm not saying I don't like it but it still needs to be somewhat fair.
0 -
This is fair. Perks like Distortion and calm spirit would still apply.
0 -
Calm Spirit and Distortion have no affect on it. Calm Spirit affects Crows. Distortion is Aura Reading. As a matter of fact no perks would fix this as of update 3.2.1 This isn't fair for reasons already described in my other posts and that there is barely any counters to the TOTH,NOED and Cap Energy combo.

I'm talking about the perk here. If you want to complain about NOED and TOTH go make a post about that.
I meant that "Calm spirit" would prevent the screaming and "Distortion" the aura reading cause by the perk I'm suggesting.
0 -
Calm Spirit does nothing against the screaming unless they re worked it and your perk has no aura reading capabilities. Also, I'm not complaining about NOED and TOTH, I'm saying that TOTH NOED and this perk together would be the indefinite meta maybe plus Barbeque.
0 -
Just realised that calm spirit does stop screaming but the notification would still be sent meaning that it's worthless.
0 -
Lbh how many times do you notice the notification when ppl are cleansing your totems and you run ToTH ?
Also, Distortion would prevent the notification like it does for the crows.
0 -
Alot, actually. TOTH has saved multiple games where Ruin is in jeopardy. Distortion does not stop notifications. It stops AURA readings. If it was changed to then yeah but currently it does not affect the perk. Even so, using perks to band-aid other perks isn't a good way to make a perk. It's like if someone made an anti-NOED perk. EVERYONE would use it. It would be instant meta as it counters a good perk.
0 -
It also stop notification 100% try it out with a friend. I agree it isn't exactly an "aura reading" but apparently the game still include it.

Hey, don't make a claim without evidence. Show me evidence or maybe a pic or video. You can't expect me to believe wild claims. Especially if these claims aren't true. Read the wiki. They will always list other unknown uses and there is no mention to it. https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Distortion

Also just realised that you deleted one of your posts so that now one of my comments makes no sense.
0 -
I just told you "try it out with your friends"
0 -
We can't delete post here...
0 -
I will but I'm pretty sure that the wiki would say
Sorry you edited it not deleted
0 -
Maybe I do edit stuff whenever ppl give me ideas or stuff to work with. So if anything this was probably that and unrelated to your comment unless it was a legit balancing idea I liked.
0 -
No, you wrote something else about NOED being unfair and I disputed it and then you changed it to be about something else, making my post irrelevant
0 -
I never said that.
Idc about NOED has I said on many post about it here, it is an hex for baby killers.
If you want to use it idc most of the time it's completly irrelevant even once activated.
You were the one saying me perk idea would empower noed too much. I don't care about NOED enough to make sure a perk counter it.
0 -
Dude. Look at my post which is in question. It has nothing to do with the quote it is linked to.
This used to be something about how fair your concept was and if I didn't like it. I responded by saying I like it but it needs to be fair.
Also, what do you mean it's irrelevant. Do you know how many matches I have saved by having noed in my pocket. Do you know how many toxic swfs have been crushed after an easy match for them?
0 -
Well my red rank opinion is that it's irrelevant if you play the game good. I never use it and won countless times.
0 -
eh. Still it's opinion! Sorry if it seemed like I was picking at little things. But I can't change your opinion as it's yours!
