Viable Stealth Slinger Build?

Has anyone tried using a Stealth Slinger build?

Perks:

Monitor and Abuse

Dark Devotion

Hex: Retribution

Furtive Chase


Perks may be a bit much but one of these can be interchangeable.


Add Ons:

Marshal's Badge - Slightly decreases terror radius while aiming.

Gold Creek Whiskey - Moderately decreases terror radius while aiming.


Without the Addon Numbers:

Standard Terror Radius: 16 Meters

Radius while in chase: 16 Meters (Monitor and Abuse subtraction).

With the addition of Hex: Retribution or Nemesis, and Dark Devotion carrying your terror radius around, I think a Stealth Slinger would be fun!

    It's definitely a build I want to try - 16 meter TR is nasty on any killer, especially ones that can easily close that distance. I don't know how good Dark Devotion would be on it though, since a small TR is close to no TR to begin with.

    I'd replace Furtive Chase since its just an awful perk with Nemesis actually, since that inflicts Obliviousness.

    Plus if you get stunned and hit the obsession, you create a new one anyway, and it inflicts Obliviousness. Means easier times switching obsessions, which means more chances to activate Dark Devotion.

    And Dark Devotion will always have a survivor carry a 32 meter terror radius regardless of killer terror radius.

    Personally, i'd switch Hex: Retribution out for BBQ & Chili. The Deathslinger isn't like Huntress, so he can't lob hatchets miles away for an aura hit, but having an aura reading can help him detect his next target, which is why BBQ and Nurse's go toe and toe with tracking.

    Either that or Whispers is good for keeping track of Survivors, or if you want to get advanced you can try Deerstalker to make it easier to re-down Survivors and/or keep track of them while snowballing, it's a common perk some Huntresses use in practice. While both Huntress and Deathslinger are fundamentally different, their perk combos can still be useful for either one.

    Except the stealth part for Huntress, the humming kind of ruins the concept of stealth unless you want to try a build that uses the humming as cover.
