This was put together pre-victory cube, but the builds are still pretty relevant.

There really ain't one OP build. There are many builds that work on him. Just find the best one to augment your playstyle. So, what's your playstyle like?

[PapaSmurf]

wow none of these builds has monitor and abused xD so you can't take them seriously.

Most Meta build on Shape is

1: Monitor and Abused
2: Brutal Strength
3: Whispers
4: Some Utility Perk Examples(Hex:Ruin; Tanatophobia; Nurse Calling; BaC etc.)

But the first 3 are very common and strong.

Yes. Still mandatory. And any decent killer knows why. If you feel like you don't need BS anymore because of a mere 15%, you probably don't face skilled enough survivors and should consider ranking up, not to have more "fun", but to understand what you have to do to actually improve your play. Because trust me, if you don't believe it's a mandatory thing to have, you have room for improving.

Tho if you play "for fun", sure, don't bring BS.

Yes BS still meta for most of the builds , because 15% is not enough against rank 1 survivors.

I used to run:
BS
M&A
NC
Whispers

Maybe you could switch out BS now for something else, like Agi, Overcharge or FD.
Tinkerer in case you use some add ons to speed up stalking.

But I would not change the other perks.

People that don't realise that PRESSURE DURING CHASE is just WAY superior to any form of play just didn't play against good survivors yet.

If you think like "Well, it's only a 0,3s time gain, I'd better get Thana and get 3s out of my gens" didn't quite understand the different values of things in this game.

Destroying pallets faster doesn't only allow you to be faster, but it forces survivor to be less powerful in their juking methods because they won't have AS MUCH TIME to reach proper spots, forcing them to eventually drop some of the pallets early/get hit, instead of being in a proper position to get ready to loop for for 3-4 loops. The time gain on THIS is just invaluable, and BS is one of the only perk that allow BETTER CHASES overall, in a very solid way.

If you actually feel like you don't need "Stronger chase mecanics" as killer, you simply didn't encouter good juking survivors yet, or are in denial of the needs of killers to be actually effective, and still stomp random "low skilled" survivor, and "get mad" at highly skilled survivors without understand what's wrong with your play and choices.
