Dark Devoution suggestion
When the demise of the faithfull was first teased and and we got to know all the perks (without the numbers). This was the perk i was looking forward to the most, but sadly as the numbers where revealed along with all its restrictions. And after alot of use i came to the conclussion that this is yet another wasted perk slot in the bloodweb, but the only thing is that this perk is some small tweaks from actually being a meta perk, so let me tell you what i want to change about the perk.
First of the the only way of actually getting any use of the perk is to leave your obsession as soon as you strike them. And go for a jumpscare attack on a different survivor, but that is where the problem start, how do you find a survivor in 20 seconds. Unless you are playing freddy with several people in the dream world this will be as rare as getting any use out of tinkerer.
So what i suggest is that, keep the perk just the way that it is, but increase it from 20 seconds to 30 seconds and when you activate it by hitting your obsession auras or locations of other survivors outside your terror radius is revealed to you for 3 seconds, this will make the perk change any killer into a potential myers a few times a game, and would give this game alot of the horror factor back in.
I myself find playing against myers the most fun because of the creep and scary factor and would love to see this on more killers, what are your thoughts on this change? :)

Mint Rag Hag and Spirit could take advantage of Dark Devotion and maybe fun-build on Doctor?
With my suggested changes or as is? The perk as it is now has its uses, but it often have you going out of your way to get something out of it and then it might not even make it worthwhile, with my changes it would always work, and consistently scare the poop out of survivors troughout the game :P
I feel like it's supposed to be combined with Sh*t Your Pants.
I think they should remove the CD (and varying the duration based on the tiers). That way, you can hook the Obsession and make it work with BBQ. Plague, in the current state of the perk, is the only Killer which can actually pull this off.
Yeah it needs something. In its current state it just isn't that good. The 20 seconds isn't long enough and there shouldn't even be a cooldown on it. I mean it only activates on the obsession and to get anything out of it you are literally letting him go and just hoping to find someone else. The benefit doesn't out way the cost. Maybe refresh the duration if you are able to land a hit on another survivor while it's still active? Like I said, something. The idea is cool but it just isn't enough, which ironically describes most killer perks.
I agree, perk isn't as good as it sounded. I like the idea of revealing other survivors when proced but it might be too strong actually. Maybe 1 random survivor?
if it is to strong with the reveal then maybe remove the obsession part and just make it trigger on all survivors, but this perk needs a change/buff along with many other perks.
Make it keep the cooldown but work on any survivor? I like that.
It would then be activating enough to be worth it. Plus, to even get use out of that it means you are hitting a survivor and letting them go each time. So it incentivizes the killer not to tunnel. That sounds like good design to me. Bonus of giving some cool new synergy with the other TR perks that normally aren't worth using.
@not_Queen What do you think of this change for Dark Devotion?
I personaly prefer my original idea, but this is definatly better than the current version and as you say, will incentivize to not tunnel :)
