Feedback on the latest dev update (WGLF should have aura reading effect, not healing speed bonus)

I've read the latest dev update on what is to come and I agree with all the changes except WGLF.

Healing downed survivors faster shouldn't be applied to this perk, it actually would make much more sense if this effect was applied to Buckle Up (utterly dead perk) to make it more appealing to use. It would allow the perk user to check and choose if he wants to pick somebody that is already 95% up or start healing the one that hasn't recovered yet and have a bonus healing speed.

WGLF's secondary effect should instead be aura reading (to reflect the BBQ's secondary effect). As soon as you unhook a Survivor, you see the Killer's aura for 4 seconds and the Killer sees your aura for 4 seconds. It makes sense, because WGLF rewards brave plays, when you unhook the Survivor - you show your aura to the Killer to let them know that you want to be chased and in the end you get rewarded with extra bloodpoints.

Babysitter's aura reading effect should be removed and replaced with +7% Haste status effect to the unhooked Survivor for 8 seconds. In combination with no blood and no scratchmarks for 8 seconds it should allow the unhooked Survivor to escape to safety more easily.


TLDR:

-WGLF change: add secondary effect - when you unhook a survivor, you see the killer's aura for 4 seconds and the killer sees your aura for 4 seconds. Add the ability to gain tokens by saving survivors from Cages of Atonement.

-Buckle Up change: add secondary effect - increased healing speed when healing a dying Survivor.

-Babysitter change: remove aura reading effect. Add +7% Haste status effect to the unhooked survivor for 8 seconds.


P.S.: Decisive Strike still needs to be changed. At the very very least make it so the perk is disabled once Survivor starts working on the generator (that means he's not being tunneled).

Comments

  • No. Giving WGLF any secondary effect is fine. It doesn't need to be a 100% parallel to BBQ in all ways.

  • Healing speed bonus would make it too strong and reward extra bloodpoints without any negative effects.

    I KNOW RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I SAID! WGLF should show you and the unhooked survivor the killer's aura for 4 seconds whenever you unhook someone. Buckle Up is the perk that should have the healing dying survivors bonus; I was thinking maybe 40%-50% faster heal speed. The current change to WGLF makes no sense unless they're adding completed heal actions as a way to get stacks.
