List of perks you think will die if this update goes through as is
And why. Go!
Editing in my list now that I have more time:
Hex: Ruin. Already a hex that gives itself away with one tap of a generator at the start of a trial. Nerfed in half, and now deactivates once a survivor dies if it wasn't already cleansed.
Corrupt Intervention: It already deactivated on its own, but now deactivates for completing your objective as a killer. Already is inconsistent with generators it blocks.
Dead Hard: Without the additional distance on demand, its utility is high risk for a low reward. Any other exhaustion perk will get you more distance reliably, without risking a hit while injured.
Decisive Strike: Now deactivates in the end game with a briefer stun, and no buffs to compensate such a harsh nerf.
Borrowed Time: Outclassed by new Off The Record.
Iron Will: Not reliable at 75%, as well as no effect while exhausted.
Spine Chill: There are a ton of LoS blockers on most maps, especially indoors. The perk has no use that eyes don't already do for you.
Calm Spirit: Listed as a buff, is nerfed stronger than it was buffed. No one is going to intentionally lower their own action speeds in this game, at least not for those effects.

Took enough of a hit? I have to be blunt, your build has just gotten ######### annihilated.
I'm not sure what you can be running as a replacement. If you want stealth, probably not much. You might be better served using a gateway build with lithe, dance with me, quick & quiet.
Speak for yourself I used it with prove thyself,iron will and deja vu(sometimes spine chill) to become the gen rush machine
Just play Ace, he gets basically 75% iron will by default...
I really don't like this as a Jeff main. Exhaustion part would be enough as a nerf imo.
I feel like you are better off with a tool box and streetwise/built to last but honestly, that build just sounds so cool.
Unless the killer is Oni.
i would genuinely be amazed if anyone besides new players ran calm spirit if this goes to live. i never thought we'd see a perk more useless than no mither.
well that's a little harsh actually, but still good god what an awful change lol
I like to run it sometimes but I'm not gonna if all I'm doing is screwing myself over with slow totems
I wouldn't say Calm Spirit is useless. It's still good into Doctor or perks like Infectious Fright. You could always just not cleanse totems or open chests.
It just didn't improve the perk in a useful way and falls flat at giving survivors more reason to take it while also penalizing you like Technician for using the secondary effect.
Oh oni completely denies a big portion of my build and honestly I will need to rework my genrush build now with these changes lol
Almost anything they touched on the Survivors except Lightweight and Off The Record.
Killers:
Tinkerer: only 1 use per gen is not that great, you may even not get anything out of it because you can be far away or already chasing someone else.
Ruin: its still not bad but its not that strong anyway and collides with Overcharge and Call of Brine.
PGTW: useless for gens under ~60%, someone did the math on another thread, only worth using it on gens almost done, while it can be used with Overcharge and/or Call of Brine its better to just use one of those and pick something else.
Coulrophobia it wasnt even alive but the change does nothing: nobody in their sane mind heals on the Killer TR and if they do is because the heal is almost finished so you wont get anything out of it, much better to bring Sloppy Butcher with current Hemorrhage.
And they listed calm spirit as a buff lol.
Ruin. There is literally no reason to use it.
