10 Killer Perks that Completely Failed in Dead by Daylight

Ойындар

Hey everyone, today I wanted to discuss some more perks that completely failed in their purpose. Perks that were to fulfil a role but ultimately just don’t achieve what they are aiming to do. They aren’t necessarily all going to be bad either, they just fail at what they are meant to be. This is just my opinion of course. Really, perks don’t have a designated purpose, so this is of course always up for debate whether they do fulfil their role or not. This time around we’re looking at killer perks.

    Hey Azhy! Just wanted to chime in and say that there was a slight error in your description of the weaknesses of Dying Light! Old versions of this perk did effect repairing, but in its current state, the buff applied to the obsession is only effective for healing and unhooks. All other survivors do suffer a penalty to repairs, however.

    I LOVE using Dark Devotion on Wesker, due to his massive terror radius, it can definitely be very confusing. Many times the obsession runs the opposite direction to the other survivors and they end up believing that I'm going the opposite direction. Tons of free hits it's hilarious. It also messes the obsession up when I'm chasing them too as you have no red stain when you whack them for the first time.

    Yeah main point of Dark Devotion is to not chase the obsession just hit them and go find some poor sod that does not realize you are coming. Might even get a gen grab if you are lucky. Not to mention as they buffed it work when ever the obsession loses a health state you can get benefit out of it by using killers who hurt remotely. Like survivor steps on trap your terror radius gone, puke infection gets full radius gone etc. You don't even need to be near them to get benefit out of this. Seems like AZHYMOVS still remembers this perk as the old version because he says hitting survivor when in clearly shows that they just need to lose a health state. Its not tied to the basic attack anymore.

    i actually find utility in alien instinct. i agree with its folly of alerting the target. however its lack of a ranged limitation like BBQ means that if only 1 survivor is injured and they hiding near where your chase is it can kinda work like awakened awareness so whenever you hook them you get a free down. i kinda view it as a hybrid awara + BBQ and it aint bad imo.

    1. They should have created basekit counters to boons for killers instead of SH. Make it so that a survivor can only boon each totem once, allow snuffing to apply a cooldown for blessing, etc. Plus, the boons have been abandoned only after three perks so it feels even more unnecessary. 2. It's neat that killers can get more value out of niche perks than survivors based on their power. For this list in particular, I've seen a lot of Plagues and Legions use Dying Light and quite a few Ghostfaces using Alien Instinct. Stridor and Spirit is a classic combo. Coulrophobia really compliments Wesker. Survivors don't really have this because they're just skins.

    There's four boons, technically, but yeah, pretty much. I don't think they should be basekit, as there was only one boon that was even usable at their "peak", and they were much easier to deal with than to set them up (hence their unusability now). But yeah, the second point is something cool. Because of the unique powers, every killer handles perks differently.

Unnerving Presence is a perk that would be so fun with a few number & functionality tweaks. Great video, Azhy! Well made, and as entertaining as always. 💜

    My position to rework theese perks: 1. Bloodhound - can charge in chase, when 30 sec in chase get undetectable 2. Deathbound - make 32m -> when not in terror radius 3. Dying light - if non obsession hooked 5% debuff to repairs speed for 60 sec, have stacks per hook (like laverage from sm) 4. Predator - Scratch marks become brighter and stay for extra 3 sec 5. Shattered Hope - you can snuff boon totem and break normal totem when you hook survivor (have 4 stacks max, 1 stack per survivor) 6. Grim Embrace - locks generators for 10 sec after first hook on survivor shows obsession aura for 5 sec 7. Unnerving Presence - skillchecks are counterclockwise when in terror radius (if you are in further terror you got only 1 effect, if you are in mid terror you got smaller skillchecks, if you are near killer 8m for example you will get previous effects and your skillcheck is shaking) 8. Alien instinct - when you hit/down survivor you get aura of injured survivor for 5 sec, survivor gets blindness and oblivious for 30 sec 9. Genetic limits - 32 sec and hindered for 12 sec 10. Dark devotion - i'm think it's fine but if the effect can spread out when person with that meets other, that would be great (i mean if obsession walks near survivor, terror swaps to that survivor and timer refresh (30 sec starts again)) If you like some of my changes let me know about it. Like that type of video, premonition also trash type perk. Hate devs for not reworking perks after they said "we will work on it". And nothing...

    The point of Dark Devotion is to drop chase and go away from the person who is carrying your terror radius. Then you've got just a free undetectable to attack someone else. Plus, the person carrying your TR might cause people they run near to stop working on generators while they figure out what is going on. Dark Devotion, like a lot of undetectable perks, work best on indoor maps.

Also the old meta was still appearant back then, so soon after shattered hope released, CoH got nerfed.

    Imo, you totally missed the mark with shattered hope. Circle pf healing was never OK, cause it provided an infinite number of value - perk remained a huge problem up until it was hard nerfed in 6.7.0. The real reason to shattered hope’s failure is it’s instability. Even when boons were at their strongest and were everywhere, you could have a game with zero boons in your lobby, or a boon was never placed - or you just never had the time to find and crush it, let alone do that multiple times. Shattered hope basically turned to be an alternative to an empty perk slot in most games. Nevertheless, a great video, the type of content I love this cannel for. Something unique and fresh!

There are so many possible endurance effects that could be in play after an unhook that it's better to just hit immediately and remove all those possibilities. Hell, even if you're not tunneling it's sometimes still good to hit off of hook just to waste their time a little with the mending.

    Dying Light is actually a pretty decent perk, and I'll stand by it. The Obsession gets no repair bonus (but is rather unaffected by any speed penalties). It pairs nicely with Sloppy Butcher because it counters the Obsession's healing speed bonus as well as stacking the with penalties applied to other survivors, and running it with Jolt or another regression perk helps get the most mileage out it. A killer like Legion can be good without SB, since you probably don't want to be healing much against them anyway.

    To be honest, Genetic Limits is a useless perk in the whole game. If a survivor doesn't run an exhaustion perk, which happens sometimes, it's become very-very useless. If not, the time of 32 seconds is small, and it doesn't give real pressure on survivors (they're really don't need to care about it). It's need a small rework of giving Hindered (about -3%) too.

    Dying light actually has been better than it used to be with healing reworks. It works well on killers that prevent healing like legion and plague or broken forcing addons/perks. It's better when you have a obsession juggling perk. It also has a weird multiplication effect on slowdown with some other perks. Allowing you to slow progress to a crawl. Deathbound and alien instinct are EVIL on teleport killers especially sadako. As she doesn't have a lullaby when manafested so if you use fingernails you can zip over and smack them with a jumpscare. Deathbound and genetic limits is also helpful for teleporting killers. For a silly meme build I do genetic limits, mind breaker, blood echo and septic touch. It enrages woo and made for this survivors but Gen rushers still can Gen rush.

    Predator scratchmarks should be thick but be less scattered, and should prevent scratchmarks from being hidden, like from dance with me. Gives it the utility it needs to be useful by itself

    I believe BHVR didn't make shattered hope base kit cause survivor mains will complain "why are the killers able to destroy my boons for no reason?" When survivors can cleanse hex totems without needing a perk.

    Shattered Hope being one of the least used killer perks is genuinely impressive when you consider it is a general perk. After Stranger Things DLC left DbD, the usage of all of Demo's perks jumped up significantly. Even Mindbreaker, a perk that really isn't all that great, started getting a significant amount of use. I also find Grim Embrace particularly badly designed as a perk because it has an anti-tunnelling mechanic in it with the stacks, but it encourages you to camp. When you hook the fourth survivor, there is literally no reason to leave the hook unless the obsession happens to be very near by. It's not like anyone's going to get any gen progress.

    Can’t believe you’d post footage of you using such an op build. Come on, do you really need strong perks like Beast Of Prey, Deathbound, Shattered Hope, and Alien Instinct to win your games? Sounds like a skill issue /s On a more serious note, I love Alien Instinct on Nurse. It’s singlehandedly won me a few tough games lately. Farthest injured survivor can mean any range; they can be across the map, or close enough for a blink attack. I’d recommend trying it on her!

    I would like to say while I mostly agree with the alien open it does have its uses. For instance if the injured person is nearby (usually if they’re the only one or last survivor) it comes in quite handy as it doesn’t have a radius. I would like to say however that the other alien perk is a bit annoying as it relies entirely on you getting a hot while getting rid of killer instinct. In higher level lobbies this can be a bit difficult

  • @niklasvz2222
    @niklasvz22228 ай бұрын

    Shattered Hopes effect should have been added to the base mechanic of boons imo. meaning, you destroy totems when you snuff the boon automatically without the need for a perk. and the perk itself could then have a different effect, maybe something like inflict exposed and oblivious on survivors who bless a totem at least 32 metres away for x seconds. Quick note on dying light: it doesnt increase repairing and sabotaging speed, just healing and unhooking. its still an unnecesary downside to an already quite bad perk but at least its not as detrimental as you said in the video.

  • @kingol4801

    New shattered hope effect: Survivors that bless totem enter dying state instead at the end of the action bar, with totem remaining unblessed (happens only once per totem). Would be a hilarious perk
