Turn Poised into an Exhaustion Perk

The current effect of the Perk does almost nothing, what it can do other Perks can do 10x better. It could however get an Exhaustion treatment which would be centered around generators!

Poised

When a generator is completed, break into a sprint at 150% of your normal running speed for 3 seconds.

Causes the Exhausted status effect for 30/25/20 seconds. This Perk cannot be used while Exhausted.

Simple change, it's not as good as probably any other Exhaustion Perk, yet it would be much better than the effect it currently has. It could be used to get around the map faster when being the gen-jockey of the group, or as an "unexpected" burst of speed during a chase.

    Unfortunately this completely falls second fiddle to Sprint Burst, which can be used for the exact same effect, and also be used to get a good lead whenever the killer turns up.

    Perk definitely needs something though, cause right now it's completely useless. Maybe if its 10s no scratch marks effect was granted any time after completing a conspicuous action, which would include:

    • Generators
    • Heals
    • Unhooks
    • Sabotages
    • Totems
    • Gates

    Thee are some scenarios there where that would be useful, such as:

    1. A sabotage bulld, where you sabo a hook near a gen to make a noise notification and leave no scratch marks as you run from it.
    2. Use it with Babysitter so the unhook survivor and you both leave no scratch marks as you run from hook.
    3. Bite the bullet to heal silently when the killer is nearby, then sprint away without scratches once healed. Possibilities for a a strong effect if 99ed.
    4. Combine with Counterforce and Inner Strength for a Sneaky, anti-hex, self healing build.

    This would give it some opportunity where an innovative player can get value.
