I mean, his power is his already anti-loop. His bonus free ability to zone on top of that is equivilant to Spirit's old stand still "tech". Run to a loop, he puts his sword down and follows you until you either drop the pallet or you keep running into his goo or away from the loop to a dead zone. It's a win/win for the killer and a zero for the survivor. The canceling is not long enough, the twins got a harder nerf in that department.

I disagree when it comes to comparing old Spirit's standstill mechanic to Pyramid Head's anti-loop because as the mechanic implies you could literally get free hits by standing still as there was no tell if you were phasing or not. Pyramid Head is the opposite of this problem as you can see and hear when he is doing it. While it is true that they can follow you with the sword in the ground they can't do it indefinitely and actually getting anyone into Torment status will forever be harder than what the old standstill mechanic was.

Yeah but it has gotten way quieter and less overwhelming than it was before. It was hard for me to ignore. Maybe some QoL adjustments for her are necessary right now but just know when I say I don’t think she needs a buff, it’s coming from a place in my heart that doesn’t want to go through that again like back before her nerf announced.

Until it comes to MDR and DCB anyway and then its basically right back to where we started.

My go to idea is Hide & Seek game-mode. No perks, no gens, max fog. If the killer finds you, they chase, if they interact with you it's an instant Mori, then the killed survivor turns into a killer and also joins into the hunt.
Points awarded for catching survivors, chasing survivors, stalking survivors
Points awarded for evading killer, getting chased by killer, or being bold and moving alot instead of hiding.

That is an awesome idea and would be very interesting from a SWF perspective.

I agree with the sentiment, but the issue is how much gen progress could be completed during the time your trying to find a good totem spot to curse it. Killers don't have that kind of time to kill in the current match balance.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2906341#Comment_2906341
This. I agree with this whole heartedly. Block totem cleansing for either a certain amount of time, or until a certain amount of generator progress has been completed. Totem spawns are awful, the amount of times I've spotted one during the 360' spin around my survivor right at match start is unreal.

I say the way to combat that would be to have killers just be able to set a Hex anywhere that is not problematic at the same speed that a Boon can be blessed. I would say akin to Trapper that can pick up a trap and almost set it anywhere.

Exactly. Honestly I believe that they need to come up with more unique killers instead of limiting them like they do currently. I'm not saying create Nurse 2.0 but at least something that is a bit of a step up from Onryo.

The issue with the perk is not how fast it can heal, it's the fact that its infinite and spamable.
It gives such great value. Imagine if killers could reapply hexes. That's how stupid this perk is. and if you think 1 CoH is stupid, just remember you can have multiple Coh"s on a map.

Killers did have something similar that was old Ruin: Undying. I find it hilarious that a Killer perk that was so similar to the Boon mechanic was basically gutted so shortly after release without the wait and see approach that people are saying that the devs are taking with COH. I also find it strange that the issue was that Survivors didn't have time to find and cleanse multiple totems but that doesn't seem to be an issue now as hard as it is to keep Hex perks active for any good length of time in most games these days.

Lies. In fact, this will promote tunneling even more, because winning a 3v1 is a lot easier than a 4v1, and tunneling one out of the game while gens take even longer would make the game extremely easier than it already would be for killer.
Let's not pretend that killers who tunnel one out early game will stop doing it by nerfing generator speeds (which are fine, by the way), that's just being delusional or blatantly disingenuous

I agree with you regarding not making gens take too long but honestly BHVR themselves aren't really addressing the problem of gen speeds overall. With every killer there always seems to be some new way to either regress or block a gen (Hello Merciless Storm and Call of Brine). I honestly think that they should take time as a whole to address the issues with base gen speeds and base regression so that they don't have to keep coming up with more gen regression/gen blocking perks on every killer.

Its basically a meta race between the two sides that will complain about the strongest perk/combo in the other's arsenal and will continue to the end of time. And to be fair Killer meta also got changed due to buffed DMS/Pain Resonance and look at the complaints that got.

Ok and? All other survivors suffer from the debuff (including healing debuff), a 33% healing only buff to the obsession isn't game changing at all, especially without extremely good coordination which you don't have in most pub games.
DL encourages going for multiple hooks, and it's power increases as you build up pressure. Paired up with thana you just need a couple of hooks and that slowdown can be really felt.
Plus, slowdown perks can't be too strong alone, because there are so many of them that sticking them together will make the game literally unplayable (other than extremely dull and boring). Just look at new DMS paired with scourge hook PR.

I respect your perspective even though I don't agree with it due to the fact that the 33% is given for doing nothing at all and like I said before to get to that equivalent value for the Killer wouldn't mean anything due to the game already being pretty much decided at that point. Besides the bonus for altruistic speeds can also be stacked and used in combos with other perks and items like COH and medkits, both of which are commonly used.

Honestly I would rather not have any gen speed/regression/blocking perks or add-ons in the game but as the developers don't seem to be willing to address base regression or repair speed at all I would rather have weaker perks like this addressed as in the current game it is currently get better slowdown far easier with other perks.

@egg_ said:
Isn't DL a stable perk on comp blights builds if the player actually knows how to play blight?
Not that it being used on an S tier killer changes the state of the perk on other killers, but I think it's on a good state right now. It doesn't really need neither buffs nor nerfs, especially not on the obsession condition

I would unfortunately disagree with you on it being in a good state at the moment as it gifts a Survivor with 33% altruistic speed for healing and unhooking without them having to do anything. To get the same equivalent on generator slowdown the Killer would have to get 10 hooks, meaning that at least 2 survivors would have to be dead after being hooked 3 times or if played efficiently all but the Obsession would already be dead and at that point generator slowdown doesn't matter as it is a race for hatch at that point. At the current level its at I would almost equate it to No Mither as it gives more value to the Survivors in the game than the Killer.

@Predated said:
My biggest issue with Dying Light is that it has no use once the obsession is dead. Like, at what point in stacks is that situation unfair for the obsession to die?
STBFL is a lot more effective on a lot of killers, and you keep those stacks too. Furtive Chase has also been changed so that the obsession dying keeps you your stacks. Dying Light is the odd one out here, which is weird, because if Dying Light is already at a point where killing the obsession would give "too much" of a slowdown, then at least 2 non-obsessions are dead on hook already and the generators are clearly not even close even if the obsession were to die.
I understand the original Dying Light makes devs a bit cautionary about giving killers a permanent 20%+ slowdown by killing the obsession, but now leaving the obsession alive as long as possible is often more beneficial rather than killing them asap. Let alone that Mori's have been nerfed too.

True. Maybe shouldn't be as strong as original but the current version definitely needs a buff.

@XombieRocker said:
I would remove or decrease the bonus for the obsession, but don't think this would make it all that great anyway.
The biggest problem with this perk is that (similar to huntress lullaby) if you get a lot of stacks on it at a point where they are useful, you are probably already winning and didn't really need it. It just makes you win harder. If they don't want to rework it completely, they could change it so that it gives a bigger speed decrease per hook, but can only get 1 stack per survivor.

That's a good idea.

I am sorry if I came out aggressively. I will address the points in your second paragraph and give you my personal opinion on why I think PT gets more credit for what it should. I will change Guilty Side to Other Side as my first post was unintentionally too focused on one application of the Bad Faith discourse.
Bad Faith has a formal yet broad definition that I will not address here, but one known technique for its application in general discourse is to set the arguments and put the burden of proof on the other side even when, sometimes, the proof of the negative statement is unfeasible. That tactic is unfortunately used by many denialists to lend credibility to their claims while tricking others into a lose-lose situation of finding an improbable counter-example or being handed an impossible task. An example is Black Swan Paradox, when centuries ago in Europe black swans were not believed to exist as they were not native to the region. The argument stated that "All swans seen so far are white, therefore all swans that exist are white", a clear extrapolation. Disproving that belief by counter-example would require someone to discover a new Continent and bring a bird from Australia.
In a similar fashion, by stating PT is not needed and inquiring proof from the others you're handing them the impossible task while not providing a setting stage or clear goal. Is a compilation of win rates of 30 games with and without the perk enough? Perk popularity versus outcome? Video evidence of one match in which the perk made a difference? What I personally observed in this kind of discussion is that Stats released by the devs are often discredited by the members of the community if they do not fit their narrative and personal experience, especially when reinforced by the Negativity Bias.
Now if you want to know what I think of PT, I'll be using the stats from https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Prove_Thyself and https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Repair_Time_Calculation and keep in mind that PT doesn't stack.
PT is niche and overrated.
The most infuriating aspect of playing against PT is seeing a gen pop up roughly 25(4 men)-30(3-men) after the beginning of the match. That has a psychological impact on the killer, again Negativity Bias, but is strategically bad for the survivors. Even with PT, they would've made more progress and impact working on different gens at the start of the trial working at 4c/s instead of 0.8 or 0.91c/s. The scenario where PT is indeed invaluable is two survivors collaborating to break a strong 3-gen, assuming the survivor with PT is not the one being chased. In that situation, the perk can cut at most 6 seconds from the repair time (47.06-40.92) and, while each second in that situation is critical, reaching a 3 gen is not a merit of a killer instead more fault of survivors, exceptions are given by the map layout (Azarov's Resting Place, Suffocation Pit) where I've seen 5 gens spawned on one side, but those are games lost to RNG.
When you look at team efficiency, an exhaustion or second chance perk that granted 6 more seconds in a chase is giving 6 more seconds to each of your team members, up to 18 seconds of teamwork. Those perks are also popular because they are in general selfish, and most of the population of this game plays SQ, not relying on their team. SWFs make the best use of it by having dedicated gen-jockeys and other team members more suited with experience and perks for Chase.
In summary, PT requires coordination, stacks suboptimally, its best use case is when the killer ignores you, and the scenarios where it can make a difference can generally be avoided by breaking 3 gens before they even happen.

Very interesting take I didn't think of it in that way honestly. Hopefully in the next Developer Q&A we can maybe have them address something for base regression of generators or something that will make it more impactful. Along with changes to the current regression/blocking and speed perks for gens.

Putting the burden of proof on the supposed guilty side is a lazy strategy to instill bad faith in a discourse. If you really think PT is impactful then share your experience through collected data or other evidence you managed to acquire. Do not just point fingers and delegate the responsibility of a counter-argument you didn't bother to elaborate on.

Well this is an interesting response to a simple question of whether or not we need Prove Thyself in the game currently regarding gen speeds. My experience with it is that I would rather split up on gens instead of having two or three people hovering around one generator as it is more efficient and splits the killer's attention.

Also regarding "putting the burden of proof on the supposed guilty side is a lazy strategy to instill bad faith in discourse" does my question honestly seem that way? What guilty party? I am not shaming anyone for using the perk and had a simple opinion that with gen speeds they way they currently are that if base regression was addressed then maybe we would get more unique perks instead of the base gen regression/gen blocking perks we seem to get with each new Killer announced. Would be surprised if the new Ringu chapter didn't come with some type of gen blocking/gen regression perk since it seems like they are currently in that type of development cycle. Honestly perks that effect gen speeds or regression I believe shouldn't be necessary but I understand why they are currently used on both sides.

My apologies for whatever I said in the original post that caught your ire, just simply wanted to know people's opinions on this perk and why they like or dislike it.

You’re probably seeing a rise in PT due to the shift to the new meta: Scourged Hook & Dead Man’s Switch. If the killer has Pop Goes the Weasel on top of that, Prove Thyself only delays the inevitable.

Good point that it is probably due to the meta. But if they address gen speeds seriously instead of just making more gen regression/gen blocking perks then more fun builds could be utilized.

in Prove the Need for Prove Thyself Comment by Entinaty February 4, 2022

Honestly don't think anything is wrong with Ruin and Tinkerer as currently constructed since Ruin is useless on its own in most cases and Tinkerer seems to only be decent if the killer has map mobility. Honestly I wish that they address gen regression as a whole before any of these perks to be honest.

in CoH Nerf! Comment by Entinaty January 21, 2022

In my opinion the Hex mechanic should be entirely reworked as it currently doesn't offer enough protection for Killer perks. Something along the line of a passive perk that goes along with their other 4 perks that starts weak but then can gain power over time or perhaps gain power per number of gens completed. That way it is on par with the current Boon mechanic and can allow Hexes to be reworked to balance.

in Let's talk about Hexes Comment by Entinaty January 16, 2022

While the perk is powerful I believe that it is fine as is and should come to live so that finally something can break the slate meta that we are in and maybe things going forward will be more interesting. DMS was complete garbage that wasn't run due to its activation condition. I would rather see a powerful perk be brought up than adding it back of other useless perks. We already have enough of those on both sides already.

Honestly I think the Nurse is fine where she is and we should honestly hope that BHVR developers look to her as inspiration for designing more killers going forward. Not necessarily oppressive killers but those that break this tedium of killer ideas that they are currently mired in. For example, why don't we have killers that fly across the map or dig tunnels and capture their prey from underground? Why not killers that can use fog our strike from darkness? We need more killers that break convention and invite new ways to play this game instead of the same old boring tag/hide and seek simulator that has arguably been stale for the past couple of years. What this game needs is growth and experimentation, not bringing killers that actually have some uniqueness back into the same old mired drudgery that most of the others are currently in.

Then nerf CoH, don't try to balance bullshit with more bullshit.

If only I had the confidence in BHVR tp actually do actually have the sense to do that. It seems lately that for every 1 thing they do right they do 2 things wrong. For instance, they saw the backlash that old Undying had with Tinkerer and nerfed it to not be as powerful but then decided to have an entire mechanic for survivors that was essentially the same thing. Strike 1 against.

Then after creating this new mechanic that they didn't seem to think would undermine Hex Totems in anyway they then came out with the Artist that had a Hex perk that required cleansing which is now unnecessary. Strike 2 against.

Then we come to this latest Developer Update that outside of a few things was lukewarm at best and given all of the controversy surrounding COH I find it odd that it wasn't mentioned at all from anything I have seen so far. It would at least be something to at least have them mention looking into it even if they don't plan to do anything at the moment but from all I have seen they haven't. Strike 3 against.

Honestly I believe that the Hex mechanic needs to be reworked from the ground up and perhaps either let Killers set their own totems or give them a passive Hex buff along with their perks that starts weak and gets stronger as the game is slipping away. But we will see what the future holds.

This 'We don't think voice comms does much. Have another perk or Killer power that relies on Survivors not being in voice comms' development process needs to stop.
Until they admit it; Killers will beat SoloQs, and SWFs will beat Killers. And the game will be a mess.
