PSA: DS got a slight shadowbuff
I might be late, who knows, but it looks like DS got shadowbuffed a while back.
Whereas before, DS would permanently deactivate upon missing the skillcheck (meaning that you try to hit the skillcheck), now, missing the skillcheck will not disable it permanently and it will be saved for next time. It’ll still be deactivated if you miss the skillcheck once, but it will activate again until you successfully hit it.
Does anybody remember when this happened? I didn’t remember this part when they first announced the DS nerf.
Edit: There seems to be some confusion on my wording. Old DS worked such that if you hit the skillcheck, you stunned the killer and DS was deactivated permanently. If you ignored the skillcheck, it didn't activate and deactivated until the next time it activated (being your next unhook). If you tried to hit the skillcheck but missed it, then it deactivated permanently as if you hit it successfully.
New DS works such that successful skillchecks and ignored skillchecks operate the same way, but trying to hit the skillcheck and missing will no longer deactivate it permanently like it used to.

This has been a thing for a long time as far as I know
It's just nobody ever did it
As the other person said, this has always been a thing
What?As far as i remember missing skill check disabled it completely.
@OP interesting,i might start using DS again.
Missing it disables it but not attempting to hit it won't. Isn't that what you're referring to?
So ignoring the skill check allowed you to use it again?
Yup
Interesting,u learn a thing each day xD
OP stated trying to hit the skill check and missing.
Oh ok.
