"Swift Hunt" add-ons a counter to lightburn?

Have you ever tried to lightburn a Wraith, but they uncloak before you can fully burn them? Then they might have been using a Swift Hunt add-on. What these add-ons do is reduce the reappearance time for Wraith, so he'll uncloak much faster. If you think he has one if these add-ons, do not try to lightburn him because you will fail every time, as have I. So he doesn't have to use Lightborn or hide behind walls to avoid lightburn, he can just use an add-on. After these buffs and when people start using Wraith's stronger add-ons, he's gonna be viable for the first time I think.

    The numbers on swift hunt are pretty bad so it’s unlikely they’ll work best just to find an LOS blocker to uncloak at

    I don’t think lightborn prevents you from being lightburned. Even if it did, it wouldn’t be worth a perk slot.

    My mistake. In that case, it's an even worse perk than I thought.

    Interesting fact: Wraith used to have add-ons which increased Lightburn resistance. The strongest, "Blind Warrior" - Spirit, granted full immunity to Lightburn. However, they were decommissioned.

    I know. And I think that's case in point for why lightburn should probably not be a thing. The fact that they had to make add-ons that would reduce or create immunity to lightburn is just so dumb. I thought they said they wanted killers to not have extra disadvantages just because survivors had certain items, which is why they got rid of trap sabotaging. But then lightburn is still a thing, and flashlights destroying Hag's traps...

    I mean, if you see that they have it on at the scoreboard screen, then it indeed was the case.

    But Swift Hunt numbers are incredibly low, putting on the best 2 Add-ons only removes ~0.6 seconds of the 3-second uncloak.

    They're still on my list of things-to-buy when completing Bloodwebs on Wraith, but they're very low.

    They should give him an add on so you can't get lightburned at all and watch the survivor burn out there flashlight by the time they realise.
