The Wraith QoL changes

I think The Wraith is a pretty decent Killer, he isn't hard to play which is good for beginners, and he has quite a lot of counterplay, I really like him!However, there are a few aspects of him that I think could be tweaked a little to make him feel better to play!

Allow the Wraith to pickup downed Survivors while he's Cloaked, he will simply Uncloak during the animation, like when grabbing Survivors out of Lockers. (You could also give him a little Score Event when he does that, exactly like The Onryō has)

Make part of the "Shadow Dance" add-ons base-kit, this could be around 15% (the add-ons would be adjusted accordingly). To make this new base-kit ability worthwhile in a chase, make the effect linger for the duration of the post-Uncloak speed boost, so you have a small window of time after Uncloaking where you're still vaulting or breaking faster!

Retire two of his add-ons, "Windstorm" - Mud and "Swift Hunt" - Mud (both uncommon rarity). He doesn't need 3 add-ons with the same effect, removing those could make room for something more interesting and unique!

Here I'm gonna give some add-on effect ideas that I think would be interesting to play with!

  • Reduces the threshold for full Invisibility while Cloaked by -10 metres. (uncommon)
  • Reduces the duration of stuns while Cloaked by 50%. (uncommon)
  • Remain "invisible" during Uncloaking. (uncommon)
    (instead of revealing yourself mid-animation, you would remain invisible during the full animation, and then slowly become visible after you Uncloak)

And I think that's all, tell me what do you think!

    eh i'd say wraith needs less time for de-cloaking. 2.5 second is too long of cast time and he could use a little bump in speed duration.

    2.5 →2.00 to uncloak

    1.00 → 1.5 second speed boost.

    i think these two parameters are reason why wraith feels like m1 killer in loops with no chase ability. slowed for too long+speed-boosts is too short.

    i would give wraith an add-on that decreases his attack cooldown by -20% if he successfully hits someone after uncloaking. it would help wraith in scenerio's where players body block hits for wraith and spam healing perks making him unable to get downs. the thing is, i almost feel like these attack cooldown's should just be base-kit thing for all killers.
