This argument of "it's better than before" often comes up when topics such as Dead Hard arise. If someone complains about it, someone will inevitably go, "it was a lot worse before/it's much better than before..." Regardless of whose side you're on, this is a terrible argument. Pre-rework Nurse was better than Release Day Nurse. Guess what? Nurse is getting nerfed again because she is still stu10 comments 261 views last activity

Let me be clear: the purpose of this thread is to share information and inform people. Agree or disagree all you want. I'm saying this off the bat because Sally is such a hot topic now. Attack Types We all know the two attack types: Basic Attacks and Special Attacks. Basic attacks benefit from Basic Attack perks and the Exposed status effect, but Special Attacks do not.

The Guards and their roles In order to understand the Knight and his problems, we must first go over each guard individually. We need to understand what's the intended purpose of these guards. I have to speculate a lot but I'm making my best inferences based on their existing traits. Carnifex He chases the longest, the banner takes the longest to spawn, and breaks things fast.

With Thana's nerf, my previous posts compiling the perk's effect by itself, and with Dying Light became obsolete. Rather than focus purely on gens, I'm going to detail its effect on sabo-ing and totem cleansing as well.

For reference, this was on Ormond, a pretty big and decent map for them. I think people like to forget that Spirit is in the game. People say, "Make Nurse's attacks Special cuz of Starstruck!" I always think about this. Spirit can use the same M1 perks she does. "Then make her attacks Special too!" No. Flat out. No. Her attack is literally just a reg4 comments 191 views last activity

When playing as the Knight and approaching a dropped pallet/generator, a circle will appear around it. Why? In that patrol mapping mode, I understand, but I mean when you're controlling the Knight himself. There's no button to send a guard without going into patrol map mode, so I don't understand its purpose.1 comments 162 views last activity

It's been some time since the nerf. I think we've all formed our opinions on it by now. Personally, I still despise the perk. Is it better than before? Yes, but the Current Nurse is better than Release Nurse with 7 blinks. That doesn't mean it's okay. The most obvious annoyance would be the uncounterable DH into a pallet. Hit them? You lose. Don't hit them? You lose. But let's ignore that fo50 comments 1,141 views last activity

I had a fun little experience that leaves me a bit concerned about how this community behaves. A little backstory. I was playing Pyramid Head and I tunnelled. I have no qualms about admitting it. People were going for uncages in my face, and unhooking while they are injured. Anyone that's played against a PH knows why this is a terrible idea, so I punished them for it.

A recap for those that are not aware. In the latest major patch, 6.4.0, killer perks that affect vault speed such as Fire Up and Bamboozle were changed to no longer affect "special vaults" on killers in an undocumented but apparently deliberate change. This change affects Legion in Frenzy, Wesker using Virlent Bound, Myers in T3 (not sure about T2), and Wraith with Shadow Dance. The goal of the5 comments 601 views last activity

With the latest patch, Legion's Frenzy vault speed no longer increases when using the perks Fire Up and/or Bamboozle. I don't believe this was intended as they've worked on Legion since day one of their release. If this was intended, then it makes little sense for Bamboozle to say "does not block pallets" which is only possible on Legion/Wesker. In fact, that text was added because of Legi1 comments 41 views last activity

There are a lot of areas in which his power fails, and I'll try to explain as eloquently as possible. First off, the guards. They are extremely frustrating to use. Because they take so long to spawn, they cannot be used to cut survivors off if they try to w-key, unlike Artist whose birds can be used at range. Alright, fair enough. You gotta be smart with them.

Despite Wesker's auto-hit system, it's possible to consistently clip through his model after a vault, vaulting through the pallet/window and suffering 0 damage. https://youtu.be/DKyc4ouv0wU The same also applies to Legion's Frenzy vault, but they suffer from it much less due to being able to vault back and attack manually.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but I thought it'd be fun to develop some game-breaking perk ideas. Try not to make it too obvious, such as, "if you hit a survivor, they die instantly." Something more like this: Gain the ability to trade a single hook stage. To further elaborate: If survivor A is on death hook and Survivor B hasn't been hooked, B can give up a hook stage and now both are on18 comments 431 views last activity

I'm surprised myself, honestly. Thana was never a perk I used very often. The few times I did, it was a comfort perk. There was just something that made me feel good knowing that every injury helped me, even if slightly. I thought that after all this time, I'd get over it. But as time went on, it still bothers me.

Dredge's Tilling Blade add-on has the following description: Healthy Survivors injured during Nightfall suffer from the Blindness, Hemorrhage, and the Mangled Status Effects for 60 seconds. And yes, the add-on does in fact inflict a timed Mangled that lasts for 60 seconds. However, since patch 4.5.0, all instances of mangled were meant to be permanent until healed.

Medkits have been subject to a lot of scrutinies lately. The subject was already becoming contentious not long after Wraith was nerfed, but then CoH came out and dialed everything up to eleven.

This is something I've been wondering about as of late. Before, DS was probably the number one most meta perk in existence. It went through so, so, so many iterations of just being straight-up unfair.

By now, many of us have seen Otzdarva's video on camping and discussing its viability. In it, he discusses how he played Bubba for 8 games before and after reassurance and did nothing but facecamp. His winrate (defined as 3-4 kills) went from 100% to 50%, concluding that Reassurance is making a dent when it comes to camping viability. However, there was something bothering me.

Thanatophobia has had an interesting history. It's been buffed numerous times, going from 15% max to 16% and then 20%. No one used it and it's easy to see why. Thanatophobia is a perk that requires injuring people. At most, you're keeping 1-2 survivors injured at a time. So, that was around 8% to 10% slowdown, which while okay, was fiercely outclassed by other perks. It was a niche perk that ne23 comments 392 views last activity

I'm going to get A LOT of flack for this one. But honestly, I do not care. Come on, how many of you were really going to use this perk? I doubt the number is very high. You might try it out but no, I doubt it was going to be a staple that you'll miss. But let's ignore that. Let's say, this is proof that Nurse is broken... so what're you going to do?

When reworking Thana, I feel that the problem this perk has was completely missed. Thana was oppressive on Legion/Plague because they can reliably injure and team, and keep them injured. This is a trait not shared by most other killers. However, before its change, Thana was decent on other killers such as Twins or Wraith. While they can't keep the entire team injured like those two, they could29 comments 301 views last activity

If you receive the 2nd stack for MoM while healthy, the perk seems to proc prematurely. Instead of going into the injured state, the perk activates, putting you into Deep Wound while not letting you properly tank a hit.

With current Thana, if Legion injures the four of you, and you power through 5 gens injured, they'll have gotten 125 seconds from it. Granted, this is without other slowdowns but I want you to keep this in mind. Pain Switch does two things. Regress and block. The regression is around 13 seconds worth. So 13+30 means you'll have been given 43 seconds as killer from a single hook, more than two p20 comments 251 views last activity

It the dev update, it is acknowledged that Thanatophobia is mostly oppressive on the likes of Legion and Plague, as they are the two major anti-healing killers and Thanatophobia is a perk meant to encourage healing. However, the rework it's being given is... horrible.

I really want to know the reason. At first, I thought it was my killer/perks of choice. I'm an unrepentant Thana Legion main, so people giving up made sense. Okay, fair enough.

While playing Legion, if your Frenzy bar fully depletes when you are in the lunge animation, your Frenzy "stacks" will reset, even if the attack lands. What this means is that your speed boost is reset as is your "chain count" so your 5th hit will not down the survivor.

From my understanding, despite Lethal Pursuer lasting only 9 seconds, it now benefits from its own secondary effect of extending aura reading by 2 seconds. 9 + 2 = 11 seconds of aura reading. Distortion, a perk that blocks auras, only lasts 10 seconds. This leaves 1 extra second for Lethal Pursuer to consume a second Distortion stack. Despite this, in the video below, my friend with Lethal Pur18 comments 591 views last activity

From my understanding, Spine Chill was changed BECAUSE it made a stealthy approach impossible. Or at least, really awkward if you figure out this perk is in action. However, Spine Chill has been used as a sort of band aid fix for the hard at hearing. The perk will light up and fill (drains atm, but that's a bug) as the killer's TR becomes more intense.

Yeah, I said it. People are overreacting. For the uninitiated, in PTB, gens were upped to 90 seconds and Thana was buffed from 5% to 5.5% per stack (20% to 22% at max) An infamous combo is the likes of Pentimento (30% debuff) with Thana, and you get "Forever Plague" with a gen taking 165 seconds, almost 3 minutes.

"Grimmy, CoH isn't in the dev update! No, it's unchanged!" Please wait a moment and let me explain. CoH shares the Self-Care penalty of 50%. When the perk launched, it even had the text "Self-Care" instead of "Circle of Healing." Self-Care is now getting nerfed to have a penalty of 65%. My question is, does this mean that CoH ALSO has the 65% penalty?0 comments 41 views last activity

Instead, she a minimum and maximum amount of travel time hard-coded in based on how long you've been charging your blink. The minimum amount of travel time is 0.25 seconds. The maximum is 1.5 seconds. So, if you wanted to blink at t21 comments 642 views last activity

I've ranted about this perk in the past. Many of you probably know I hate this perk with a passion, but I'll try to change the perk into something I think would be fairer.

In the killer selection menu, Sadako will occasionally do her "blasts." However, this blast will always be the white "Ring of Fury," even if you have the red "Ring of Blood equipped" I thought this was intended originally. However, this can be fixed by switching to RoF and then back to RoB. Now the animation will show off the red blast until you next reload that screen. Bad at wording it?

I played a match as Legion today on Eyre of Crows. Brutal map, smart survs---It was a brutal game.

Circle of Healing is getting a 2nd nerf! From 75% to 50%. Time for this Reaper to do the math! SELF-HEALS This is more complex than some people might think due to how CoH is coded.

Generally, Sadako is okay. Not particularly amazing, but not the worst killer ever. That's fine, honestly. Not every killer needs to be at the top of tier lists, and her not having a real chasing power isn't what's hurting her. We've had killers without chasing powers before do alright. However, this weakness combined with Sadako's shortcomings is crippling. Let me go over some of her problems0 comments 31 views last activity

Legitimate question. There's no way this topic did not come up during talks when discussing boons internally. I just want to understand the reasoning behind the decision for it to not break the totem. Don't use Pentimento as an excuse; the perk didn't exist yet.22 comments 351 views last activity
