Perks that are now "different" on Nurse following her changes.
Here's a quick rundown of 14 perks that will no longer work or will be "different" on nurse now that her blinks are being changed to special attacks.

The Exposed Part no longer works:
Dragon's Grip: Survivor still screams, but blinks don't one shot exposed survs anymore.
Devour Hope: Blinks don't trigger exposed on Stack 3 or 4, Although this may make it easier to hide for that sweet sweet 5 stack mori.... until the mori changes happen that is.
Haunted Grounds: Blinks don't trigger exposed so just a wasted slot.
NOED: See Haunted Grounds. At least you get +4% endgame speed. Lmao
Hubris: It's not like you got pallet stunned anyway, right?
Iron Maiden: You can still make those Locker Dwights scream, but you can't Blink + hit them.
Make Your Choice: Far away Screams, but no Blink + Exposed.
Rancor: You can still track survs throughout the match and mori your obsession endgame, but you can't one shot 'em.
Starstruck: Again, No one shots with blink attacks.

On hit effects:
Franklin's Demise: Survivors no Longer Drop their items on blink attacks.
Surge/Jolt: Only triggers on basic attacks so will not work on new Nurse.
Knock Out: Down with a blink? No Knock Out for you.
STBFL: Did this even work with Nurse before? Wouldn't fatigue make those stacks useless anyway? Either way, now blinks don't make the funny number go up.
Sloppy Butcher: Blink attacks will not apply the status effects.

Still not nerfed enough. This is basically a slap on the wrist nerf.

I cant wait to face a nurse with overcharged, CoB and eruption. Its going to be so much fun.
At least its the best nerf she could have get outside of a complete rework now what im curious is how this will impact high level of play.

I was actually experimenting with Play With Your Food recently on Nurse, with success for record. I'd use atleast 1 of the movement speed addons and when you'd blink with her and not attack it would actually preserve pwyf tokens but now it's most likely ruined unfortunately. So now it probably takes a token when you blink no matter what but maybe it's still fun to play with.
I'd honestly like to see a pwyf buff in general.

I'm also not really particularly happy with this update. I'm not like a pro Nurse or anything but I'd say I'm decent and it's sad to see perks I'd use like Dragon's Grip/Noed be virtually useless on her, just because the 1% of Nurse players are extremely good with her and survivors whined about it I guess.

I do a lot of experiments on her, and I feel so stupid to see I haven't tried PWYF ! Good to know, good to know. And I don't know if it'll change anything, because what'll change is the blink attack being registered as a special attack, not the blink itself (as far as I've understand). Anyway, we'll see when it'll be live :)

I like the concept of the nurse changes, but she never needed gimmick builds with M1 effects to be good, so this just means it's gonna be nurses with full gen defense and that's much much worse than a nurse zipping around with starstruck ending a match in 2 minutes imo

Well Jolt is out of that, since it wont work anymore, which is a good perk, specially on a killer that could get downs so easily.

And the removal of her Range Addons is gonna be a big hit as well.

Worth pointing out that Franklin's wont help her deal with Items anymore, and that Exposed effect is essentially useless on her now.

You're right it's just going to encourage meta builds more, which will probably make Nurse even more unenjoyable to play against for the people that dislike her. xD

None of that matters for nurse. A good nurse should be able to win with no add-ons or instadowns.

Jolt is also really meh. I've hit a jolt, picked up a survivor, and had the gen pop before getting to the nearby scourge hook *while* running agitation. 8% is nothing to a team that's actually playing. It's only good combo'd with eruption, which is still the best killer perk and will still work on nurse as before.

honestly they should move eruption's incap effect to jolt (and make it shorter). Weird to me that eruption gets incap and reveal, and is *also* more regression than jolt.
