vigil should increase mending speed too
With the changes to dead hard, we're gonna live forever, off the record and also the smaller borrowed time as basekit, there will be more situations where a survivor has the endurance effect and thus the deep wound status effect will also appear more often. Vigil is the go-to perk to recover quicker from a lot of different status effects. Making vigil speed up mending would make the perk a bit more useful while still not making it overpowered as you would only spare 2.77 seconds (with the 30% speed boost of level 3) when self-mending and 1.85 seconds for altruistic mending.

I don't really feel that fits with Vigil. Vigil is strictly for status effects. It would be a nice buff to Solidarity and/or Resurgence as weaker healing perks though!
since Deep Wounds literally is a status effect (you can see it on the right as a red icon much like Exhaustion or Exposed) that honestly would be nice. My only concern is that Vigil could become a strong Legion counter and I don't like when 1 single perk shuts a killer down.
sounds good to me, it could also change so the deep wound timer lasts longer instead of mending faster. That way you can actually open an exit gate after going into the deep wound state.
This might be too strong though so i dont know.
I'm pretty sure Deep Wound is a type of Health State instead of a Status Effect
I mean sure you can count it as a Health State however it literally has an icon to your right where other status effect are.
The wiki has it both under "Health States" and "Status HUD" sooo...
Imo this is neither an argument for it or against it. I'd like Vigil to get a buff so why not? The current use case is in a Self-Aware build with any kind of Exhaustion perk. I see no real problem making it also decent against Deep Wounds by either making mending faster or by making the deep wound timer longer. Vigil has only a few scenarios when it works, and even when it works it almost doesnt do anything. Giving it more scenarios where it can do something, even if it's just a little, is a nice way to buff it without reworking it or making it OP.
But that wouldn't fit Vigil, as Vigil only works on passive effects.
Mending isn't a passive action, it's something you have to do yourself
