Changes to Doctor Static Blast
Static blast is better than I gave it credit save for a couple issues:
1) Incorporate this sound effect somehow https://youtu.be/f2PDTVmcM9c
2) shave 10 seconds off the cooldown
3) add very light regression to generators in the bast zone to signify electrical damage
Using it should feel like this

It already takes absolutely 0 skill to use Static Blast and paired with Distressing it reveals the position of every survivor that's not shown by BBQ (unless they use lockers).
When paired with Distressing this would be overpowering. I do not support this change.
I'm gonna tell you, a fellow killer, the same thing I tell survivors - let the change settle in first before you start suggesting changes.
1% gen regression would be nice just so it never feels wasted. Cooldown is pretty low as is.
I only agree with and like #1.
Other than that, Doc's power is magnificent and I love it 😋
If the first blast misses you're screwed, plus running whispers fills a spot that you need for something stronger
I was thinking like 2-4 but that's probably fine
no need for whispers, run discordance or simply use your brain and only use the blast when you see someone or hear a gen. the blast is frankly ridiculous anyways, due to there being almost no counterplay except lockers it is so annoying to play against that it promotes gen rushing opposed to going for the save.
I doubt it'd be overpowering, I'd go with 'Threatening'. Distressing kinda takes up space you need for other stuff now so there'd be more risk with using distressing.
This makes no sense to me but whatever. I've been using BBQ, Brutal Strength, Overcharge and Unnerving Presence. Doc is probably the only killer Unnerving is good on and I hate how so many killers play the same, so I'll try riskier builds. Plus good survivors know about discordance and figure out you've got it real fast
If we wanted to be really hardcore then instead of those silly "backwards skillchecks" have the queen addon make the blast apply Overcharge to all gens in range
lol what did i just read
nice b8 m8 i r8 8/8
I'm mostly serious, that's how I play doc.
Please, let's give the doc even more powers...
as a doc player you should be plenty satisfied with the patch, doc is top tier now, no question, you can literally counter stealth (except lockers, they are a thing, but totally underused vs doc) and every ordinaly pallet loop and even most window loops for free and are still crying for buffs? i'm sorry but i can't take you seriously
They are the most very minor of buffs (and I want that sound)
i don't care about sounds whatsoever but free overcharge on multiple gens without having to traverse them to kick them is not a minor buff, nor is 10s less cooldown a minor buff.
Doctor is fine as is. As for the sound change, just because you would like that sound doesn't mean everyone will.
I'd rather just run Whispers, tbh. No need to use any guesswork when I can just have a perk do it all for me with a 100% accuracy rate. :P
It's like what, 50 seconds? That's quite a lot. Also overcharge blast was 96% joke
I'd uninstall with that sound
Why do we hate fun so much
It's almost a minute long cooldown
Myres t3 is a minute long.
Your telling me that one use of having a scream notification on screen and raising a tier of madness that can be easily removed is more powerful than applying th exposed effect, having a longer lunge and a faster vault for 60s?.
Its way too long. Then again. So is legions. And maybe you could argue spirits. Or nurses. Or onis. Or demogorgons. (the point here is that docs cooldown is too long and we have way too many killers who's power is on a cooldown)
An instant tier up and action interrupt seems strong to me, but I could understand a 3-5 second reduction.
While it does seem strong that's no where as strong as an evil within 3
