My main build:
Bond
Dead Hard
Decisive Strike
And I often change my 4th perk, it's usually Adrenaline, Deliverance or Spine Chill.
I originally switched Self Care for Bond and fell in love with it.
When injured I just find a teammate to heal me, it's much faster.
It also helps to not lead the killer towards my team if they're doing a gen, overall it's good knowing your team's position.
Dead Hard is my favorite exhaustion perk, I can't play without it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mainly use it to extend a loop, correct looping mistakes or to reach a pallet/window.
Or even escape killer's lunge like a rank 20.
Decisive is pretty obvious, I hate tunnelers. That's it.
And yeah I change my 4th perk a lot and usually stick to these 3 above.

Inner strength
Quick and quiet

For survivor i usually run Nea with Self care, Quick and quiet, Fixated, and Head On, but if their is an event going on and i need to get event items i switch fixated for plunderer's instinct to get them easier.
For killer i usually run Ghost Face with Barbecue and Chili, Enduring, Spirit Fury, and The last perk is usually flexible, if the survivors are running a lot of flashlights ill put on Franklin's, if i feel the games are going by too fast ill run Ruin, if im feeling good that day ill run Brutal Strength just to break gens and pallets faster, and if i have a daily ritual to mori a survivor i will run Rancor so i don't have to use blood-points to get more mori's.
I usually dont run any items or add-ons on either the killer or survivor.

Here are a couple of builds I created for Ghostface and Michael Myers, my go to killers. Both builds are accurate to their respective films, and how they are portrayed in those films...
Ghostface: Monitor And Abuse, NOED, Unrelenting, Enduring
Myers: Monitor And Abuse, Brutal Strength, Enduring, Save The Best For Last

Bond
Kindred
Breakdown
[BT / DS / Camaraderie / Open-Handed]
I like to play the Martyr, give as much time to my teammates as possible, possibly sacrificing my life in the process.
If they tunnel me, I have DS, as well as a broken hook. If they try to control one area of the map, they'll quickly lose it due to the hooks no longer being in the area. If they camp me, my team will have vision of them until they leave.
P.S. One good way to use the build is to run to the absolute corner of the map when you feel as though you are going to go down. If you get chased again not too long after the first hook, go back to the same area if you feel you're going to be downed again.
If you make it to that same corner, the killer will have trouble hooking you as they have to travel an even longer distance to make it. Some killers are threatened by this and will leave you on the ground, denying them your next hook state and BBQ.

Killer has too much going on to post one build, but for survivor:
Balanced Landing: God tier on some maps, and generally very good on most other maps. There are a few where it’s useless like Sheltered Woods, but the good greatly outweighs the bad. The sprint burst effect is nice, but I run it for the passive.
Decisive Strike: It just feels really good to be able to fight back against a killer who is tunneling you. I also find that killers tunnel a lot more if there is no obsession in a game, so I like to make sure there is one. If you make it to the end game without using it, can help mean the difference between survival and death.
Adrenaline: Situational but powerful. It let’s you rush gens at the end without healing, and can lead to some really pog moments. It’s a wasted slot if you don’t make it to the endgame though.
Bond: Just an overall good and consistent perk. You can find heals and give heals with it. You can avoid ongoing chases and avoid interrupting generator progress while being chased. You can see if people are going for a hook save or not. It helps you set up flashlight saves. Mostly it’s just really helpful with time management which is super important in DbD. This perk will help you every single game.
If any of these perks don’t suit you, Borrowed Time is always a good alternative.

those are just my maxed out killers. the others usually have a perk build that somehow does something made from the few perks i do have unlocked. for Ghostface, he himself also isnt maxed out yet, though i do like the build. might switch out Dying Light for Save The Best For Last at some point tho.
Survivor Builds:
1) "Medic"
- Botany Knowledge
- We'll Make It
- Empathy
- Self Care
2) "Dont Injure Me!"
- Dead Hard
- Resilience
- This Is Not Happening
- Iron Will
3) "Chest King"
- Plunderers Instinct
- Ace In The Hole
- Lithe
- Adrenaline
for these Survivor Builds we need to keep in mind that i do not have all the Survivor teachables unlocked, therefore they are only build with the perks i have.

BBQ is a must.
0 -
For farming on the spirit:
BBQ for double points
Distressing for deviousness points, and increased terror radius for easier phasing scares
Beast of Prey for extra hunting points; this perk is surprisingly strong in chases.
Surge for brutality points; or Whispers for easier tracking; or Thanatophobia to slow the game down.
The goal is to ignore gens, and hook everyone once. By the time you do, the gens should be finishing and your points should be maxed out in hunting and deviousness. When you play well, you can average around 50k every 15 minutes; 5 minutes matchmaking/loading, and 10 minutes in trial.

No it's not. I just like to use it for the extra bloodpoints.

I have a survivor build really underrated
Borrowed Time
Adrenaline
Dead Hard
Decisive Strike

Hex: Ruin
Barbecue and Chili
A Nurse's Calling
Pop Goes the Weasel

My "Farmer John" survivor build:
Bond
Prove Thyself
We're Gonna Live Forever
Small Game
Here's how I play with it. My main focus is finding and breaking totems. If I see another survivor on a gen I join them to get the Prove Thyself boosts. If someone gets hooked I rescue them unless Bond shows me another survivor is going to beat me to it. Depending on my and other survivors' hook state I will take a hit for someone when safe to do so for WGLF stacks. This works really well for racking up BP as survivor.

Survivor
We'll make it
Bond
Prove thyself
Balanced Landing
Love this build because I can get about 6k points from working on 1 gen with a teammate and I can spend the rest of the game doing saves and getting chased.
0 -
My Survivor Build is usually on the stealthy and solo side
Spine chill: this is a very useful perk since it has saved and notified me if the killer is getting close, giving me enough time to hide
Dark Sense: Usually I’m kinda dumb so I use this to know which direction the killer is heading when I fix a gen so I don’t accidentally run into him instead😂
Iron Will: I could live without this but I find the group and really annoying and with iron will they can’t hear me! I’ve gone a whole match injured with this
This Is Not Happening: I’m probably gonna change this soon since it doesn’t change much of my gameplay, I used to have plunder instinct but I realized I didn’t need it

Depends on the day honestly. But...
For survivor, I love me some quick and quiet and dance with me. Small game, inner strenght. Wglf (because more bps is always good). And decisive... there's usually at least 1 of those in my builds.
For killer, bbq and pop. The rest depends on what I have avaiable

I'm currently running
Quick and Quiet
Dance With Me
Lithe
Inner Strength
The first 3 make a powerful way to escape a killer quickly (and quietly lol) and Inner Strength actually benefits from QnQ because you can juke a killer will injured and sometimes before they figure out you hopped into the locker you're all healed up. Plus the less time spent getting into the locker, the faster you are out of there.
