Prove Thyself is better than WGLF
As a farming perk, Prove Thyself is useful in game and increases the odds of the team escaping unlike WGLF, which does nothing functional to help you during the trial (so you're more likely to get the 5k survival points).
Prove Thyself is also pretty much a guaranteed 8k objective bloodpoints even in games that go south pretty quickly. WGLF might have more potential, but Prove Thyself will get you more bloodpoints long term across all games. Lets not kid ourselves, most games aren't super long 32k all categories maxed out games.
Also, Prove Thyself means that you can still get Objective points if you have an aggressive playstyle (or the killer doesn't like you and focuses you) because you don't necessarily have to devote much time to generators. Basically, as a Survivor, if you want a perk slot that will get you bloodpoints, just run Prove Thyself (unless you're really crazy and stacking it with WGLF)
Comments
I love Prove Thyself. A staple of my Dweet build.
Uhm. not even remotely true.
I get 8k in objective nearly every single game because I push gens without PT. Just doing gens with 1 other person increases the maxing of that category out by so much.
A perk that can net you 32 thousand more BP in a match is the lesser option than a perk that gets you capped in ONE categor faster? wut.
2 people could use WGLF and the other PT. The person with WGLF could do gens with the person running PT...fail to get a single stack in 4 games. Game 5 get 4 stacks and would have earned more BP than the person running PT in all games combined. When in reality you're going to get stacks every game if you know how to do it.
I don't even really use it but its beyond easy to get stacks especially with borrowed time. You run to hook and take a protection hit while unhooking then you get the safe unhook stack. Hell sometimes BOTH hits against me seem to count and I get 3 stacks for a single unhook.
But is hook bombing in front of the Killer's face to get WGLF gonna increase your chances of escaping or decrease them?
You don't have to hook bomb.
Nuts, you can get the full or almost full objective points doing 2-3 coop gens normally. And that's somehow better than being able to outright double your bloodpoints?
It isn't technically always hook bombing. If I do that to save my teammates hook status it helps the team if I go on the hook instead. Or if its nearing the end the killer only has so much time to deal with us.
Faster to 8k that is already easy to get or 32k bonus. BRUH....
WGLF needs:
1 stack for a 32K game
2 stacks on a 16K game
3 stacks on a 12K game
4 stacks on a 8K game
To be worth +8000 Bloodpoints in a match. Prove Thyself will never, ever earn that many Bloodpoints for you in a single match.
Prove Thyself IS a great Perk but We're Gonna Live Forever played competently will always earn you more BP than Prove Thyself.
Why not run both?
Whenever I run Autodidact I always get iridescent benevolence and max out my altruism points
I usually max Objective without it anyway. It's a solid perk, but WGLF will get you more points overall since it multiplies all categories and allows you to break the 32k point cap. But yeah, obviously Prove Thyself is more useful.
Well.... yeah? WGLF from a gameplay stance does nothing, while prove thyself gives you a decent buff
Gameplay-wise, sure. Even tho the effect of Prove Thyself is pretty weak, weak is better than "nothing".
But BP-wise, WGLF provides more BPs, because the Categories are capped. If the Categories would not be capped, Prove Thyself might even be better than WGLF, at least it would be a Perk which does something besides BP-gain.
