I love that you made this list. Thank you for taking the time, i absolutely agree with all of them and i hope the devs read this. I just think distressing should be the closest, not the highest distance since you should "Bask in their fear"

Woops , Saboteur and Botany are QOL Tweaks - It’s in addition to what they already do.

@Milo

I would say keep the tiering from Distressing as it now with the TR increase plus the bloodpoints. I just put it as a general idea same thing with Overwhelming.
