Surge Buff

All I'm adding is the ability for a damaged gen to chain Surges effect to the next gen 32 meters close to it. So lets say you affect one gen, that gen then applies surges affect to all other gens withen a 32 meter radius or whatever level the perk is on.

This allows surge to be a much better perk. In small maps you can damage each gen and get regression.

This also works in bigger maps,although to a lesser extent. You can damage way more gens.

If this were in then the cooldown can stay.

    That would basically make it so in the early-mid game, Surge would affect just about every gen in most maps. That sounds extremely strong.

    Your suggestion sound way too strong on small maps.

    Just remove the basic attack requirement and maybe bump the regression up to 10%.

    That's the only buff surge needs,imo.

    Surge already got a buff recently. It now works with ruin, and I believe Pop. Cause surge can proc on already regressing gens. It's actually pretty sick. I've actually been running surge and overcharge because 90% of survivors miss the overcharge skill check, so you get 15% regression with overcharge alone (the initial kick is 5%, the missed skill check is an additional 10%), coupled with the 8% surge gives. It's quite nice. Also fun with Dragons Grip.

    It can't work with Pop when surge starts regressing a gen.

    Also, the initial kick being 5%? You sure about that?

    Surge def needs a buff to see real use when competing with ruin/undying and Pop. I think there’s a couple possible routes. They could give the gens it affects the same regression speed as ruin to justify the cooldown.
