Wraith Shadownerf? or just a bug.

Just play a couple of games with the purple speed add-on(windstorm) and purple "all-seeing".(my standart build vs SWF)

Cloak and uncloak time feels larger, specially the uncloak, speed boost after uncloak is heavy reduced.

movement speed cloaked(with the add-on) is slower.

i am not crazy, i main wraith and i play him almost daily, i play him yesterday, and now i feel the changes so hard, he is slow and rough.

please check the cloak-uncloak times, the speed boost after uncloaking and the windstorm addons, is not working.

    Thought I'd mention that I also have noticed that the bugged Wraith (bugged from the PTB *cough*) made his way onto the live version of the build.

    He feels very slow when uncloaking. State this in the patchnotes if you really did nerf him. Or fix this. He is my main killer. This just entirely breaks the game for me.

    BHVR what have you done to the poor bing bong boi. I just played a few games and can confirm that everything feels extremely slow, including the speed boost after uncloaking with two windstorm addons.

    Can confirm this. Tested him in the new patch today, and ALL of his Windstorm add-ons make him a second to two and a half seconds slower when uncloaking. The fact this was not reported to be part of the patch, tells me this is indeed a bug. PLEASE hotfix this soon, guys. I don't want to have to end up not using him for the Archives to get my challenges done with him.

    Yeah, he's way slower in uncloaking at least.

    If you ask me, this is a bug, since they have stated to not have any plans to nerf Wraith at all.

    He also has Trappers walking animation now. He use to bop up and down and have his own walking animation, now its the exact same as trappers...

    Idk about that, but if that's true, then you could make a report of that too.

    I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after playing Wraith. it felt so wrong and unfun. I really hope it's just a bug and not a shadownerf.

    Only the animation has changed to his 2016 animation, which seems to be the bug. The actual cast time is the same. Already compared it on pre 3.7 VoDs, so while it may seem slower nothing has actually changed gameplay wise.

    I adapted the hit and run build/playstyle before the update but it seems unplayable now due to the new update... This wraith playstyle was fun until now... Hopefully they fix this.

    Do you have any video of showing this? Curious how it looks like

    Upvote this further gents. I looked into the hotfix notes of the patch, and there's NO mention of the Wraith's cloaking/uncloaking being fixed yet.

    I did some personal testing of this myself yesterday morning and from what I could tell, after playing a game with just one of each speed add-on and one game with no add-ons, is that Wraith's base cloaked movement speed seems to be the issue. I couldn't notice any difference between his cloaked and uncloaked speeds when not using any add-ons. If the speed add-ons work by modifying his default cloaked speed this would explain why they all feel slower. Because his default is slower. I also noticed that his speed boost coming my out of cloak seems to be slower, or shorter, or something.


    Basically, they broke Bing Bong.

    Two hotfixs in, and STILL no fix on Wraith. Keep at it, everyone.
