Wraith's "Swift Hunt" Add-ons

I really used to like these, they were my go-to Add-ons on him.

Then when the new "Windstorm"s came, i definitely preferred those.

But i realized only a while ago how atrocious "Swift Hunt"s really are.


Now you can choose to trust the wiki or not, but their numbers are close to the real deal if not spot on, at least on these specific Add-ons.

And they're just not good.

What happens if you put on the strongest combo: "Swift Hunt" - Blood (-12%) & "Swift Hunt" - White (-10%)?

Either 22% gets removed from the total uncloak time (3 seconds) or first one 12/10% gets removed and then 10/12%.

Either way, while their percentages together sounds nice, the result is pretty disappointing: About 0.5 seconds of uncloak time gets removed, a sixth of his total uncloak time.

You'd figure a Very Rare + Rare could remove a good chunk.

I pretty much always assumed at least about double of that gets removed, but i think it's just the pretty yellow progress bar playing tricks on my mind: "Oh, it's yellow, that means it's very good."

Nah, it's just neglectably okay.


"Swift Hunt"s have now gone down quite a few steps on my Wraith Bloodweb priority list and i wish that wasn't the case, as landing super lunges with him is one of the most satisfying things to me, especially if they make it to a vault location but don't make it past it without getting hit.

I propose these 3 Add-ons need to pack a seriously bigger punch, perhaps double the percentages.

Using any one of these will result in a very good uncloak time, and using 2 means a good removal of the uncloak time, but you'll lack "Windstorm" speed, "All Seeing" - Blood wallhacks, Coxcombed Clapper surprise-hits-from-around-corners, etc.


Some say Wraith is strong or even OP, thanks to Tru3.

Let's see what people think of this...
