The build

These four perks work together as a doctor killer setup. Each slot has a job; together they form a closed loop.

Why it works

Doctor's Shock Therapy attack already creates loud noise and inflicts Madness. With Overcharge, every kicked generator becomes a dangerous skill check - paired with Shock Therapy's madness-induced skill check failure screams, Survivors miss reps constantly. Call of Brine keeps a kicked gen regressing at 115/120/125% of normal speed for 60 seconds. Surge triggers when you break a Survivor with your basic attack: any generator within 32 meters instantly loses 8% progress, which combines beautifully with Doctor's fast shock-break. Sloppy Butcher adds the cherry on top: wounds inflict Haemorrhage and Mangled for 70/80/90 seconds and raise the rate partial healing progress is lost by +25%, so Madness survivors stay injured. This is one of the most skill-check-heavy builds in the game.
