Do you use dramaturgy after the novelty wore off?
I bought Nic yesterday because I love chatty survivors and outside of the silly I think it’s honestly a really good perk

Right now I use the sprint boost to cover ground faster when I’m not near the killer and if I’m lucky I get the extra speed or a new item and if I’m unlucky the exposed isn’t an issue cause I’m not near the killer, or if I use it near the killer and do get exposed at the very least that gamble might have given me enough time to get to a pallet

Also the exposed issue is completely nullified when against a one hit killer anyway

Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on it now the novelty has worn off? I know sprint burst is probably better but I’d rather have a more randomised one like this active at the push of a button over managing my exhaustion and walking around

Its "ok" perk in build with perks that reduce/remove negative effects: Vigil for exposed & exhausted, Calm Spirit for screams, and also with something like Windows of Opportunity.

I've two friends who are a bit addicted with this perk, they're still yelling "GAMBLING !" when they activate it :D

I think it is a really fun perk to use, and I'm lovin' fun perks/playstyle.

well, for me there only one bad thing is about the exposes. But I normally in early game try to get that before the real situation really need the speed booster. It's just some little mitigation to avoid the worse case happen in the crucial time. So is it really gambling but we can mitigate it like that and with side effect we may get a free item there. So it's fun with streetwise, vigil, light foot or weight and other chase perk. It's better then sprint brush in some case.

No I don't use it because it's very bad, it should have 20 sec cooldown it's not a sprint burst at all

Depends on the build I wanna run.

beside the cool down and the gambling. It give more option and timing then sprint burst and it similar to that without automatically active and give use exhausted when we run.

I mean, it's still can combine with balance landing or lite for sure then sprint burst you just wait to run and got exhausted.

I still use it. Man, I love gambling.

Once had a Steve run it in my game. I was playing Onryo.
Twice in a chase, he activated the perk.
Twice he got exposed.
After the second time, he just dc'd.

It was hilarious to me.

I've never ran it myself, but maybe i should give it a shot - I bet my friends who i play with would die laughing if i was as unlucky as this Steve.

The only good part of the perk is the items but it got nerfed. There is no reason to use it as a exhaustion perk since the bonus speed is weak. Just play dead hard with balance landing or just use sprint burst and lithe. I would play it when i'm bored with the other perks.

How we use sprint burst and lithe? can you rush vault action on window/pallet to active lithe while using sprint burst. You can't because when you start run sprint burst will give exhausted and lithe need rush without exhausted condition to active it.

you use dramaturgy because its fun if your only goal is winning use dead hard but killers that use 4 slowdowns and survivors that use dead hard buckle up for the people and boil over are snore fests

You are suposed to only run one exhaustion perk. More then one is pointless just because of the exhaustion effect. Dramaturgy with the double bonus speed still is weaker then the other exhaustion perks People only played it because they could get good purple items.
