Reasonable Wraith Suggestions

I've been playing wraith since season one and I have always enjoyed playing her. The way she was designed really caught my interest when my brother was telling me about Apex, so she became my main.

   I liked Waith initially because she was a slippery phase ninja. But now, she's just a phase. I felt like wraith was balanced up until the speed boost for using her tactical and her ultimate was taken away. The increased incoming damage is understandable because she has the smallest hitbox, that's fair. However, without that speed boost it's become exponentially more difficult to get away from that damage, especially with a 35 second cooldown on her tactical. 

    I'd also like to mention the semi specific circumstance of a Waith running into a gibraltar. The Wraith has 2 options. She can 1, try to take on the Gibby. meaning she has to do 50 damage to his arm shield before she can even have the chance to knock him. Once that's gone Wraith has to deal with the fortified 15% damage reduction on top of her own 5% incoming damage for a total of a 20% damage difference regardless of body shield. Fighting a gibraltar head on is almost certainly a death sentence for Wraith. Using her abilities to fall back and regroup was her only option most of the time.

   There's a line of viability for every character and right now Wraith is slightly below that line. I'd like to say that Revenant is in the same boat. He's really tall making his hixbox on the larger side maybe he needs fortified but Its good to be careful about giving it to him. 

  I don't see myself ever giving up on playing Wraith. But it's becoming increasingly less fun when I can't get way because I take so much damage and lost mobility. If Wraith could get her speed back I'd be happy with her build and would call her balanced.

P.S. (1 second off the activation  time  for her phase would also be incredibly helpful. I can't count how many times I've died going into phase and have been knocked in phase.)

  

  • @Ramone1927 I do agree with some of your points however her speed nerf was needed to make her balanced and so others could keep up, She still has a 25% speed buff I believe when preparing her ultimate. It is hard to kill a Gibby and sometimes frustrating as hell but it is still doable.

    I also feel that revenant is fine how he is; he can shut off your powers for 20 seconds, twice, that's almost a death sentence in itself most of the time. I wouldn't say he needs fortified because even though he is tall he can still dodge bullets similar to pathfinder.

    Wraiths my main and I do STRONGLY agree that your final point about the second reduction to her tactical would indeed reduce the amount of frustrating deaths, especially with the current level of TTK in season 5.

  • This has to be a troll post, right? 
    You are talking about the best current legend, and you are saying she is bellow line of viability ? This is a complete joke.

    And you are talking how you maining her and you still don`t know that she still have 25% speed boost, during her portal and a slight speed boost during her phase .....

    Before ever request a buff/nerf check your facts right !

  • If revenant had fortified with his amazing mobility that would kinda be crazy. I can already duck dodge and weave fairly well, but taking less damage when someone finally does hit me? That would be kinda cruel. Rev's one of my two mains atm and Caustic already be fortified bunker city.
