Re: I still think Wraiths 'Phase Shift' ability needs a risk to it.
@PholanxTTV Wraith currently does take 5% more damage due to her small hitbox and, on topic, her hitbox is fine it is just small - I don't expect it to change.
Currently, Phase is used to get out of a fight you would otherwise lose as you take no damage and can quickly relocate to cover. My changes are to turn Phase from a tool to negate damage into a tool you can use to relocate yourself safely before or after you realise you're about to be in a poor situation. For example, you just finish killing a squad but you now see another squad coming at you and your team isn't fully prepared to fight. As Wraith you can fall back or place yourself into a better position at the cost of 15 damage. You could also use this before a fight too. You could still use the ability mid fight but you would need to be cautious of the health damage yet the speed boost would allow you to fall back to cover even faster than it currently is.
It's sometimes hard to fully articulate what I mean in text, but trust me I think my change would be a healthy balance to her kit.
And as I said in my post, this doesn't apply to Wraiths who have no idea what they're doing. This is for experienced players who know exactly where their enemies are and know where to go for cover even when they're in Phase Shift and can't see anyone. It's just basic game sense.
