The Monstrous Shrine buff is exactly what I wanted
Ever since Pinhead was released, I thought that Scourge Hooks were an interesting concept and that the effects of Monstrous could be put onto regular hooks, instead of restricted to the basement.
I was hoping that they'd make it a utility perk, and they did. All basement hooks will be Scourge hooks, so you can pair it with Pain Resonance, which I think will still be meta.
On top of that, they removed the arbitrary escape penalty and made the sacrifice progression a cool 20% instead of just 9%. That's 12 seconds per stage, and 24 seconds all together. Especially when in the basement, those seconds can really be the difference between life and death.
All while encouraging not camping, by giving it a 24m radius you should stay out of.
