[Dead Man's Switch] synergies

Perks' description[deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com].
Before we start, let me tell you some things I happen to know.

Perk thrilling tremors is very cool. To block all gens for 16 secs is priceless. It can buy you up to 48 seconds of gen time, 16 for each other survivor that would be doing gen otherwise. Though sometimes it buys you 0 if survivors don't care if you know their position.

New ruin is not as poweful as old one, but it still got its uses. One of these comes from new Ruin + TT combo. I remember running this combo on The Hag and that was priceless. Can you imagine red ranks barely doing at least one gen? Maybe they were boosted, but that was wreckage! So much for trap respect... Even if they know what I'm doing, they're just too fearful to touch gen in time. At level 3 ruins regresses all gens at 0.5 speed. Which means TT + Ruin buy you 16+8 seconds for each affected gen. And TT itself can also easily replace BBQ as it often gives absolutely same info. Those bps though...

Nevertheless, about this topic's main idea. New slowdown perk is coming, which is gladly not a Hex. It sounds really cool in some curcimstances. Do you have any ideas on some Killers + Perks + Add-ons combos that will include our subject perk and totaly dominate 3.6.0 patch?

From what I heard thrilling tremors also stopped the regression so the sinergy is mostly from survivors looking for another not blocked generator.

Weird. l've surely seen sparks on blocked gens and heard their sound become progressively quite.

You could run Leatherface, pwyf, nemesis, ruin, dead man's switch. Get 3 stacks then go for downs, ensure each survivor is your obsession. Hook them and reap your rewards by visiting gens. The only issue with this build is the lack of information, which is hard to put in when bubba requires pwyf/nemesis to be good.

Also note, you could use billy, nemesis, dead man switch, ruin, toth/thrilling/bbq. You can easily patrol gens with speed, forcing people off and using dead man's switch/ruin effectively. Nemesis gets you constant use of dead man's switch, and finally bbq/thrilling for info or toth for totem protection.

It was almost my first build I thought about, but I think only Billy, DMS, Ruin and Nemesis are mandatory here, the 4th perk slot is reserved for whatever helps you down your first victim. Yes, just down one and then snowball.

sadly Ruin does NOT work when the entity blocks the gens.

Do you have a video source or a dev post source? Not saying your wrong but I would like 100% confirmation as I do not have the means to test it myself.

"Almo confirmed that gens dont regress while blocked. Honestly that is dumb that wouldnt be too strong^^. Cool idea though?

"I don’t think gens regressed while being blocked off. I saw someone mention that thrilling tremors pauses regression, think it was Peanits."

Welp dang. I appreciate the source, but man now dead man switch seems really mediocre. It already required nemesis to function more often, but now without ruin? I rather just bring pgtw.

All forms of entity blockers will stop gen progression. Peanits just confirmed this is intended.

Looks like I have to rework my Hag's build. And I can say from the amount of people on forum wondering about regression, that mechanic isn't obvious at all.
