Wraith's Ultra Rares

As a person who favors Wraith over Shape, i'm jealous.
Shape's better at stealth and has more useful and fun Add-ons.
So when Wraith got buffed recently, i expected more of the Ultra Rares than what we got.
A silent Wailing Bell is pretty cool though, but "All Seeing" - Spirit isn't strong, even though it's an Ultra Rare.
Now i'm not saying Wraith should have something similar to Shape's Ultra Rares.
Like, i'm not suggesting surprise attacks should 1-hit or something.

But let's take Coxcombed Clapper for example.
Make it so it silences all noises instead of just the Wailing Bell.
Meaning the Wraith's growling won't be a thing when cloaked, his footsteps will be silent, searching lockers, breaking pallets, damaging Generators, etc. etc.

Next is "All Seeing" - Spirit.
Scrap the current version completely.
Make it so you're completely invisible while cloaked, no blur whatsoever.
Now THAT's an Ultra Rare.

    I think they did a really good job with Wraith and his addons. The one with the bell heard in all directions and you can't locate him puts you on edge. I would actually be good with the Coxcombed Clapper Change other than breaking generators and pallets. Completely cloaked maybe too much to play against. No terror radius, no shimmer feels like an easy win.

    I still have to figure out how a clapper will silence the Wraith himself though. :p

    Wraith gets the initial surprise, then relentlessly tracks the survivor. Stealth might not be the point of the guy.
    It's damn near impossible for me to escape a half decent wraith thanks to the tracking specialization.

    I can see what you mean.
    But Shape too has complete game changers like the 2 Mirror Add-ons and the 2 Tombstone Add-ons.
    They drastically change how you play him. (Or well, you know, as drastic as the Power he wields allows.)

    I can see your point, too. A bit more flexibility fornthe wraith probably couldn't hurt.
