Iron Maiden's exposed effect should stack

There's this thing happening a lot to me where, after a survivor finds out I have iron maiden (excellent Huntress perk btw) they proceed to spam the spacebar next to a locker just to annoy me with the notification and scream. I don't really mind... one less survivor doing something efficient, right? But the 15 seconds exposed effect should stack on them, so 2 times spamming would be 30 sec exposed, 3; 45 sec, 4; 60 sec, and so on.

    You could....go over there and kill them?

    It probably needs to be 30 seconds, 15 seconds you basically only get use out of it if they head-on you and even then if there is a pallet nearby maybe not.

    The stack only matters when they're trolling around. I doubt that's really a reason to change that.

    That said the perk is currently pretty god awful, even on Huntress. You are wasting a perk slot.

    The perk needs a lot of buffs that aren't just numbers.

    The Exposed effect should last 30-45 seconds and the reveal last 5-8 seconds or alternatively change it to an aura reveal lasting 3-5 seconds so it gives you a bit of tracking. Maybe even give the survivor the Hindered status effect? Would help a lot with making the perk good.

    You can't always go to the other side of the map in 15 seconds

    Oh, I raised this point before. A bunch of larks squawking their same ol'e tune at me, "reading their aura's is too much." Yes, if even by two seconds, I imagine this perk would be up their with Hex: Ruin. Raging disconnects; endgame polemics; high blood-pressure all sending the DBD players to bed with headaches.

    What if it made it so lockers dont hide the survivors aura? Could also make it so grunts of pain arent muffled when in the locker and breathing is louder

    That would make lockers a bigger decoration than they already are.

    Not really considering few people would run Iron Maiden even if it did that. You'd rarely see it and the 5 people running Iron Maiden regularly would have a better perk.
