On Devour Hope...

[Lucky✰]

What's your experience with it?
I mean anything, playing with it on killer, playing against it on survivor; whatever.
Also, has anyone in the history of dbd ever seen it hit 5 stacks?

[ジオフロントエコ]

I am playing it on Nemesis and it's pure fun. Every 3rd game or so I have 5 stacks Pentimento or Devour hope. Every 2nd game or so at least 3 stacks.
I run Hex Undying, Devour Hope, Plaything, Pentimento. + addons for zombies speed or speed + FOV of zombies.

Basically - you cleanse totems? You are f*cked. You don't? You are f*cked. Well, not very strong build against swf. Against swf my totems are done within 2 minutes or so...

With Nemo and other M2 killers you can actually hide activated Devour so you taking down chances on cleanse.

Every time the killer has it the match basically fall apart...

It feels like im the only one looking for it and NOT HEALING.

I had a similar build on Wesker, just swapping out Plaything and Pentimento for Thrill and Haunted Ground. My results have been pretty poor so far lol. Is Plaything worth getting Pinhead for?

I've noticed this issue a lot myself.

[Toodles]

just don't forget undying

i really dislike playing against it. Some maps it genuinely takes a long time to find bones, so it feels really bad losing to one perk because of a lucky totem spawn

I mean, ye, Plaything alone is kinda strong perk but in combination with other Hexes it's really strong perk. Sometimes you can even grab people from gens, because they didn't cleanse it. It's nice slowdown perk also. Because for the first 90 seconds only the cursed survivor can cleanse that totem. Survivors usually get healed from hook and then they are looking for Plaything because it's really annoying that you don't hear any TR from killer. Specially against Nemesis who has range attacks.

Ye, Haunted is also good perk into Hex combo but it feels kinda weak for me. I never was that type of killer who was able to memorize positions of all survivors, gen progression, etc. I use other tactics into my advantage. Basically yes, you can have 2 times Hounter thanks to Undying but it's still kinda rush perk. I am using this combo more into late game when I count with at least 3 stack devour or 5 stack pentimento. Well, tbh, to get 5 stack pentimento is much harder, because usually when you have all totems cleansed and you just go to pop them, when you are on 4, 1 is usually cleansed already, so you won't hit that 5 stack combo. But it doesn't matter. I care more about 1 hex and 2 hexes bonus from pentimento. That's 30% slowed repair speed and 30% slowed healing speed. And to be honest, I don't think I ever had a game, when I didn't have at least 1 pentimento stack at the end of the game.

I could totally see this being the case on the grim pantry or maybe the red forest.
I rarely see it even hit 3 stacks personally; either mine or my enemy's.

It's the one perk that I would like to see get reworked as it is the only real risk/reward hex. All the rest should be able to be lit again if a dull totem exists.

It usually gets cleansed but I've had killers, especially demos, guard it so much. When it hits 3 stacks, we fall apart but sometimes we come back after cleansing. I've had teammates who immediately save after 3 stacks which turns into 5 stacks

DH would be fine if you lost the ability to kill survivors after having done it once.

It's way too much of a wild swing. You could play 8/10 games and it does nothing but it wins 2 games for you with no other input needed.

Does that make it fun to use? No.
Does that make it fun to play against? No.

I don't know about that. Getting DH to trigger at all is a ♥♥♥♥♥ in some maps, and it doesn't work at all if people swarm the hooks or if you hook on a smaller patrol route.

I think DH is the best Hex currently in the game because it's incredibly weak but can swing the ♥♥♥♥ out of the game if the Survivors aren't careful. It also promotes leaving the hook. If you notice that the Killer is instantly ghosting the hook, you know they probably have it. It's a matter of finding and snuffing the totem at that point, but that's a knowledge gate more than a difficulty gate. Totem hunt perks can help if you don't memorize the locations.

If you took away the infinite moris and reduced it to just 1, I'd want a bonus on earlier stages to help you get to that point. Because otherwise, it's just spicy, more restrictive NoED.

It's also an example of a perk that gives the Survivors something to do. If they have Devour Hope, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ done if you don't find it (provided the Killer is actually getting tokens).

The perk is fine and yes I've seen it get to 5 stacks and had it get to 5 stacks as my ghostie for a devour challenge. It's a fun perk and fine the way it is.

[Case]

I get 5 stacks on Onryo more than I really should. You'd think people would catch on to the Onryo nodding at you then un-assing the area to guarantee it.
