Can we please buff Reassurance
Ok before people say it’s one of the strongest perks in the game which I do agree on some level. The effect is strong but the requirements is to activate it is what drags the perk down I mainly talking about the distance (6m) you basically have to touch the survivor on hook and some killers you can literally go down in front of the hook depending on killer power/add ons and perks.basement it doesn’t even work from upstairs unless it’s the one hook closest to the stairs and if it’s leather face you are pretty much down if you try to get value
the buff should be
can be activated from 12m-15m
and maybe make the effects last 45s
and make it to were you can activate it with hook stages NOT instances
and maybe buff kinship time to 50s and to activate after hook animation scream like Reassurance
if you don’t camp you won’t even feel the effects of this perks and it gives more value for a soloq survivor who wants to bring this perk for a support build and before you say swf can abuse this once again if you don’t camp you won’t notice these perks if you camp at 5/4 gens then you will feel these perks and that’s if they are even in play
That my idea for buffs for Reassurance and perks like Reassurance

I mean monstrous shrine is the reassurance for killers
and since DS got nerf it has never been easier to tunnel a survivor out with off the record just simply hit them off hook and that completely get rid of it and when you get add ons into the mix like pin heads original pain that literally gets rid of the perk
And y’all basically did with eruption
and honestly, can you answer how many reassurances do you see every time you play killer?
Have you seen the video were someone uses reassurance on the people on the hook and go back to gen?
Maybe the should indeed buff the range, but make it only work when the killer is under 12m of the hook.
Survivors should feel pressured when someone is hooked, and unless the killer is near the hook from start to finish, should feel pressured even more when the hooked is almost going into the next stage.
In general, agreed.
I think Reassurance range should be buffed to align with basic Kindred range.
(Obviously, no stacking, no alignment with Open Handed.)
This perk does not need a killer range requirement if you as a survivor is using this perk when the killer is nowhere near and leaving the survivor for whatever reason on hook seems dumb unless there is a maybe a gen near them like 90% then maybe I can see a argument
I feel like this a boon:Dark theory phenomenon, I remember in the PTB for the Ringu chapter some people complaining about the boon saying it was overpowered and the forged in fog when, when people was fogwise and potential energy was going to be OP and literally those perks are rarely used
But killer in the range of the hook is the definition of camping. If the perk is designed to counter camping killers, it should only work the killer is near the hook, making saves harder.
As i've said, survivors should feel pressured when someone is on the hook, as they SHOULD prioritaze saving over all of other things.
especially when we get the theoretical’s into it like a 4 man top MMR SWF who have this perk versus a 4 man soloq team with only 1 survivor having it
Some killers can take advantage of that as well like huntress hag etc
Survivors have SIXTY seconds to unhook, not SIXTEEN. Let the killer break a pallet, kick a gen, and get more than a tile away in their patrol before you unhook. Why the urgency to unhook ASAP and tempt the killer to return to the hook?
Your anxious playstyle seems to be blinding you of the benefits extra time on the hook could mean.
If I have a gen nearly finished, or my Flashbang is almost charged, things like that, then I have the time to do it in those 60 seconds. A lot of progress is lost if I have to run across the map, unhook, and then run all the way back, when I could have finished the task first. If the hooked survivor is reassured then 90 seconds lets me finish an entire gen.

I am in agreement with the range being too small IF the killer is, in fact, camping. It's very risky to get close enough to activate. Double the range, but not right away and only if the killer is still nearby.
tbh i dont have any problem to use reassurance even when is Leatherface u can always get behind the hook activate it or trough a wall UNLESS is in the middle of nowhere and u cant sneak in but thats rare to see. i think the perk is overall fine i may increase the timer to 40 or 45 seconds because killers love to camp and face camp (REASON WAS CREATED FOR, if killers didnt play as they do this perk wouldnt even exist) but other than that is fine. Im not entrielly against tunneling (especially when only 1 or 2 gens are remaining and u need people out quick but im all in against camping because its very easy to trade hooks like that, u are while cmaping or face camping dealing with AT LEAST half the team at the same time or 75% of the team even if they want to get out of that situation without losing the game due hook trading.
1st I have never anything about rushing unhooks
2nd the delay still doesn’t make sense I have said my peace about that in 1 of this post
3rd your acting like every survivor is in a 4 man swf if you use it in soloq that time can be wasted by the the other 2
But if everyone doing gens no one came to reassure the person on hook and if they are to go reassure them and the killer is not camping why not just unhook them at that point?
Agreed
Also it'd be nice for the bots to be able to equip Reassurance. I'm honestly surprised that they couldn't while they can use a perk like deception already or head on
Fair enough 👍
example: you hooked someone and go elsewhere to kick a generator/chase a survivor/destroying throwed down pallets, the survivors still haven't made the unhook, at this point you come back to the hook to guarantee the 2nd stage since the time for the 2nd phase is almost started, when suddently those guys use the perk. Another example is when someone will loop you on purpose in the zone of the hooked survivor because there's an extremely strong loop near it... both cases reward bad gameplay for the survivors instead of rewarding good play (survivors shouldn't wait so much in order to do a save, especially when the killer is far from the hooked survivor and mostly they should't be able to use perks made specifically for certain situations in order to get away with their bad plays... you know, it reminds me of old decisive strike when survivors could use that perk even if you didn't tunneled anyone and they started to do stuff under your nose...)
When this first came out I finally thought it was a counter to camping, then they nerfed it. :<
"I mean monstrous shrine is the reassurance for killers"
Monstrous Shrine is more like Fast track for killers. But unlike survivors we do not have 7 perks to hasten a survivor's death. If we did we might see 35 second hook timers. Then sure Reassurance needs to be a big part of the game.
-"can you answer how many reassurances do you see every time you play killer?"
Once is too many because Reassurance is a force multiplier. Use it once and 4 players get 30 seconds. That's +2 minutes to the enemy team.
This is the same time savings as the killer using Pop goes the weasel pre nerf six times.
And you want to say : this perk needs to be buffed.
this perk is not visible in games anyway because it is weak.
All you need to do is increase the duration from 30 seconds to 60 seconds and increase the range by 24 meters.
Toxic camping is one of the most annoying moments of this game and it needs to be removed, don't forget that against normal assassins this perk is useless as they won't stand at the hook.
