WRAITH VS SPIRIT

I have been encountering a handful of wraiths since the buff, and i can say they are becoming more aggressive than the usual. With the true invisibility achieved by wraith, not until 24m, i think i can say it has the same stealth as SPIRIT. Im now assuming yall say "he can still be seen within 24 meters", it seems your not playing against a GOOD WRAITH. Wraith's good strategy BEFORE is to hide on a corner to uncloak, then lounge onto speed boost, thus, considered as a stealthy attack. What makes them good players because it requires thinking and strategy.

RIGHT NOW, wraiths are becoming more aggressive, even uncloaking in front of you, because the add ons are pretty much helpful. Wraith's Base Kit, having a speed boost during uncloaked, 1.5 second sprint cloaking and 3 second slow speed uncloaking, with 3 sec speed boost. With his current add ons, Wraiths base kit can even be faster during cloak with Windstorm, and can double its breaking pallets WHILE CLOAKED with Enduring. Wraiths are relying much on CLOAKED phase to do the dirty work of breaking pallets, doors, breaking generators, and vaulting; none of which a spirit can do during PHASE. What makes it worse for spirit is she is not capable of vaulting during phase, no survivors on view, the only choice is to hit an m1, which pretty much the same with Wraith. Spirit relies on scratch marks and sounds, which i think makes her more challenging to play. unlike wraith, Information is pretty much on hand, survivor, scratch marks, sounds, fast breaking pallets.

Wraith is more versatile in terms of play: Stealth(if you know how to play well, it can be as good as spirit), Speed boost on cloak, speed boost lounging from uncloaking, ability to damage generators, break pallets and doors, vaulting FAST, no terror radius, very faint sound. and yes, he can fake his uncloaking.

With spirit: she only has LIMITED STEALTH(which relies on her husk, fake phasing), speed boost during phase, instant m1 but relies on m2 as lounge. she has terror radius during phase(which makes her partly invisible, unless used prayer beads, WHICH IS STILL A RADIUS).

What am I saying is Wraith has become one of the best killers, and it seems he has a lot to offer on his basekit with add ons, which might be "balance" from the past. but with all the available perks, plus true invisibility, + nerfing some maps, wraith can be very good killer even without STEALTH. I am suggesting devs should take a look at this.
