Why do the wraith burn still stack?

Try playing wraith at high MMR, he is still an addon based killer, still has the Granade/Firecracker problem (gets burn out instantly from those items when cloacked even with his back turned to the explosion) and STILL has the flashlight burn stack.

If 1 survivor tries to burn you: not that big of a deal, they take almost the same time to flashlight you normally.

if 2 survivors tries to burn you: Cant uncloack, have to avoid the beams giving them distance, if you dont do this you get that juicy stun that is longer than a pallet one

if 3 survivors burn you: you cant do shet, they can burn you any time you want to come out of cloak, have to endure this for the rest of the match, or play m1.

4 survivors: lets dont talk about this, at least they are not doing gens right? right??

  • If more than one survivor is burning you they are not doing gens which is good, and if more than one survivor brought flashlights instead of toolboxes or god forbid med kits, you are having an easier match, even tho wraith is m1 and can be looped for days flashlights are not that big of an issue for him.

  • That’s 3 survivors not doing gens. I’d say it’s fine tbh

  • Why not counter them with Lightborn and Starstruck?

  • Wraith's Lightburn is a massively outdated mechanic IMO and should just be removed. Also unnerf his uncloak please.

    if we fixed every killer problem with perks the game would need a new perk slot, but yeah lightborn or franklin wraith is pretty good

    agree, it took time to remove the trapper sabotage mechanic besides being an different thing it was too much detrimental. Its funny how wraith can be burn, victor can be kicked after an succesfull attack, but nurse doesnt get burned that easily.

    Weaker killers will be way weaker, strong killers doesnt have good counterplay

    medkits buys a lot of time and is the strongest item, yet you have the chance to find them healing and down or they wasting the DS for self healing. One flashlight is not a big deal but often times you will get into a chase or you interrupt them healing and while you are uncloacking they start to burn you, so you have to dodge and uncloack all over again

  • The only thing I agree with is that wraith is massively addon dependant.

    I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with flashlight squads. They are my funniest matches.

    Lightborn doesnt protect you from burns, only blinds

  • im gonna be real with you chief, with your recent posts I highly doubt your at that so called "high MMR"

  • I mean if it's a 4 SWF bully squad they only need 1 guy rushing gens

    No way really? Well that's depressing and enlighting at the same time 😶

    Wraith needs buffs, but this ain't it.

  • If two or more Survivors are lightburning you, that's frustrating, but they'll lose.

    They aren't on gens and will waste resources.

    it was an meme post, i obviously an not high mmr wraith, i dont even run meta perks on an m1 killer

    they only need one guy on a gen, 3 of them can just go around burning you

    Their flashlights will burn out lol.

    It will take the solo guy a really long time to do all 5 gens. Do you want some general gameplay tips? This is something a lot of newer players struggle with.

  • Honestly I wish they just remove the whole burn thing.

    Lightborn doesn't actually affect his light burn, just being blinded
