I am surprised with how scary he has become with the buff to his invisibility. If it wasn't for Spine Chill, I'd have to change my undies more frequently. Is it just me or did they reduce the sound of his foot steps. It's been a while since I played him, but when playing survivor, I remember him being louder. I can still hear his snarling, but just no longer the thump thump thump of his feet.

As for your suggestion, I agree that windstorm should be added to his base kit, but I'm only going to ask for the yellow one since the devs are scared to buff killer powers.

I'd like to point out that they also buffed his uncloak speed burst duration by 0.25 seconds. This is a huge deal as it crosses a break point where he can uncloak behind a Survivor that is already running away and still get the hit with a lunge.

Here's where we're gonna have to agree to disagree with each other's disagreements.

Anytime I'm playing with Coxcombed or Bone Clapper, my thoughts are always "This is nice, but I wish I had Windstorm." Wraith doesn't need help getting hit's- He's fantastic at that anyways. In any situation where Bone or Coxcombed are useful, so would just hiding behind a wall and uncloaking normally. The only time the Clapper's are useful are for those gen's which are in open space that also happens to be near pallets, or when someone is healing near a pallet- But again, if the pallet is mindgame-able you don't need the clappers. Wraith's speed after coming out of Cloak is good enough to win most mind-games if you know what you're doing.

Coxcombed Clapper makes him a worse version of Ghostface, which moves slightly faster and has to wait a few seconds before he its someone. He needs help getting across the map so he can spread pressure. Purple Windstorm alone adds 20% to his movement speed. The All-Seeing add-ons give Wraith immense information, and even Shadow-Dance can break pallets in less than a second.

Wraith doesn't need help getting hits. He gets an early hit incredibly easy. The Clappers make it easier, sure, but they do nothing to offer Wraith what he really needs, which is pressure. The Clappers just make an already easy part of his kit easier- I feel like I can't play without Windstorm.

Edit: I can agree that Bone Clapper is stronger than Yellow though.

He’s not bad. It’s an eternal struggle. Without windstorm, you mIght as well play ghostface. With windstorm, there is little reason to play ghostface.

its a really nice touch, but i agree that it is far from enough from fixing his problems.

what he needs imo is to have his speed boost during invisibility buffed so its like the current speed he has with a green Windstorm.

it would tremendously help him apply map pressure, which in return allows him to boost his "hit and run" kind of playstyle.

additionally it would free one of his Add On slots so he can focus on other add ons, such as Swift Hunt or All Seeing.

Just a friendly reminder that wanting any Windstorm at base would also slow down his post-uncloak movement speed at base.

And idk about y'all, but that's one of the last things i want at base for him.

Generally, yes, he needs more, not denying that at all.

What he has been granted this update isn't small though.

Some Add-ons really need updates.

• The Swift Hunts are all incredibly weak, Blood + White doesn't even make it to 25% faster uncloaking, resulting in 0.6 seconds less uncloak time. I'd figure the 2 best ones would get it to at least 1 second less.
• Blind Warrior Mud isn't really bad, it's Blindness that's bad. Specific builds can profit from it, but it's generally a BP sink.
• The Shadow Dances are really fun for the meme build, but their use really ends there, or at least they easily have a shadow cast on them by other Add-ons.
• The Hound is just The Hound, i wonder how few use this one a moderate amount or more, make it be a blood trail or smthn, or have him be able to see the Aura of blood within [X] meters.
• Blinks are just not needed, the cloak speed is already fast enough, and at any time you have it on to support cloak Add-ons, you could've put on something that has its own use and it would be better than either Blink, would love to see these 2 Add-ons get new effects. (Though i'd actually rather have current Blinks than crap like "Z" Block xD).
• Both bells are great, both All Seeings are great (though i really enjoy Blood more than Spirit), Blind Warrior White's just fine, all Windstorms are great of course, The Ghost's kinda weak on its own but either bell makes it delicious so i can forgive it since it's a Common, The Beast is ugh but it seems the devs are intent on having these in Add-on arsenals so whatever.
• Not gonna talk about the new The Serpent btw, haven't used it myself yet.

Other than that, all i'd want is for him to just quiet down some more.

I dislike how he goes stompy-stomp and snarly-snarl everywhere while cloaked, but then you have guys like Ghost Face & Shape who just do a way better job of maintaining their stealth.

Ya' wanna make him very much hit-from-stealth and not chase-and-loop, devs? More than fine by me, but then shut him up just a bit, mkay?

I disagree x4 I agree x3

At this point, it's just us having different experiences. I've always had a somewhat easy time getting early hits (Yes, even against red ranks), with or without either of the clappers, and always have had a huge amount of help from Windstorm and All-Seeing. I'm not saying the Clapper's are Bad, I've just been conditioned to them being third best for the Wraith builds I run.

personally, i think wraith needs green windstorm to be basekit, and then change the windstorm addons to do something to that "out of cloak" sprint that he gets. this opens up a lot more possibilities for builds with him since you have both perk slots open instead of one always being the necessary "windstorm slot"

Have they said this? It's news to me but sounds really good if true.

Hey, Shadow Dance addons are amazing. Only thing I'd change about them is to allow the effect to persist for a couple seconds after uncloaking, then they'd be perfect.

With all the rest, I agree. Without exposing perks like MYC Wraith struggles a bit (at least with my playstyle). He's great at getting the first hit, but the second can be a pain. The post-cloak boost can be used sure, but it's not that common to find a suitable loop for that (the recent buff helped with that, though). And that's ok, not every killer should be chase-oriented, but without Windstorm he definetly lacks the map pressure he needs. Just to clarify though, I think his yellow one should be base-kit, not more. The rarer ones can be very useful in chases.

Oh, btw, why nobody ever talks about his Blink addons? They are the most useless addons since they shorten an already quick animation that doesn't even slow you down. They should definetly be completely reworked imo.
