Visionary has a cooldown
VISIONARY
- Reveals Generators Auras within 32 meters.
- Disables for 16 seconds after a Generator is completed.
The small 32 meter range alone makes this perk undesirable to use, but it also gets disabled each time a Generator is done. Why?
Comments
The developers believe it would be "OP" otherwise. Lol.
Visionary has a cooldown, Technician causes you to lose 13% progress while Bite the Bullet causes 1%, Ace in the Holy doesn't guarantee 2 addons, lots of surv perks are still plagued by useless, pointless downsides for no reason. I don't think they will be looked at.
Because without it there's nothing to scale with perk tiers, so naturally a terrible perk gets an extra downside JUST to make it have tiers which nobody likes anyway.
* Remove that pointless cooldown
* Tier scaling is now 24 / 28 / 32 meters.
Much better (maybe even buff the scailing a bit).
The range could scale across tiers. Just like other aura reading perks did since the inception of the game, such as Bond or Empathy.
Remove the cooldown.
- Visionary shows gen Auras up to 32/36/40 metres.
- Gen progress can be determined by the intensity of their Auras.
In which case if their idea of 'balance' at tier 3 is 32m, tier 1 and 2 may as well say "shows the aura of generators that you can already see."
Well yeah, because if it didn't, Deja Vu would become an even more useless perk than it already is.
I agree with this suggestion
