Nemesis buff part 2
In addition to what it already does, whenever becomes the obsession, nemesis activates.
Whenever the obsession leaves a radius of 24 meters from you, their aura will be revealed to you for 4 seconds.
Now you can actually do something when that survivor is oblivious and makes sense thematically, or with the lore of the Oni.
Comments
Honestly giving Oblivious to the person that just stunned you or what not feels pretty irrelevant since they are in fact already right in front of you. Instead of Oblivious to them, make it apply Oblivious to the survivor that just lost the Obsession status. IE the previous carrier of the status gains Oblivious for the duration when a new survivor becomes the Obsession.
The point of Nemesis is to change obsessions. Yes, we can add aura reading like this but no ones going to use it when they have much better choices for aura reading. If you want to buff this perk buff the obsession change instead. A simple way to do this would be adding more conditions for it to activate like flashlight stuns, Head On stuns etc. It is already the best choice to get multiple obsessions in a game though, so I don't think it needs a buff.
It already does activate from every type of stun such as head-on or even firecracker blinds. It really doesn't have a use other than synergizing with like 2 other perks to get real value form it that is mostly niche.
Oh I didn't know that, then disregard my example.
This perks purpose is to change obsessions, no matter how you tweak it it won't be meta because changing obsessions isn't meta. Yes, you can put aura reading on it but why would you do that, there are already many perks much better at tracking survivors so this perk would still only be used by the people who wants to change the obsession. If what you want isn't to buff this perk but to have a perk that shows the aura of a survivor when they leave your terror radius, we can have a separate perk for that.
I mean, I think it can give it a use, it just depends on the map (even with this buff it will be weak though). You can leave the person who just became the obsession and come back to them and if not, then they will be very on edge. Obviously, this would be situational and map-dependent, but it would give it some sort of use that is decent without the use of other perks.
Alright, then I guess that makes sense, the point of this was to make the perk somewhat decent without the use of PWYF or other obsession perks.
So if everyone at some point was the obsession, they would be afflicted with the oblivious status effect? Or would it only happen to the last one affected?
Only the last one affected.
We only have 4 perks slots. More perks isn't going to help.
The best way to buff this perk is to add more obsession perks on the Killer side that do something powerful.
I think Nemesis is fine for the most part right now. It's difficult because it has a very simple effect, if you ever buffed it you'd pretty much have to just add a sort of secondary effect to it like OP is suggesting.
I love the idea but how about if the perk did this
When you are stunned by anything. That person becomes the obsession and when they leave the killers radius of 24m there aura is revealed for 4 seconds. When a survivor becomes the obsession the original obsession becomes Oblivious for 40/50/60 seconds.
