Totem Cleanse Progression
I don’t know if they’ve had this before, but why don’t totems keep their cleansing progression?
I just watched a streamer get THREE CROWS trying to cleanse a Thrill of the Hunt AND Face the Darkness THREE TIMES because the cleansing restarted every time.

Simple, when they first introduced totems, they kept the cleanse progress, this resulted in a very obvious outcome: hex totems were useless because you couldn't even protect them, their demise was eventual and impossible to prevent.
As for the streamer example, cleansing a TOTH while affected by face the darkness 3 times and never understanding why this wasn't a good idea is entirely on the streamer
Introducing such a colossal nerf to an already volatile perk type is not something we should be pushing for. TOTH and FTD are a combo that leads to not being able to cleanse, but this is a combo only Pig can actually get kills with as a result and if this nerf is warranted for this reason then several other scream perk combos would have to be nerfed for it as well.
If said streamer could not pick up on this combo and continued long enough to get crows, that is entirely a skill issue on their part.
