Is Wraith immune to flashlights now?

I had a match against a Wraith, found a yellow flashlight, tried burning him while he was cloaked/in the middle of the uncloaking animation several times and nothing happened.
That particular Wraith didn't have an addon to protect against being burnt (they removed those entirely, didn't they?) - and I'm 100% positive that I was shining the light directly on the Wraith continuously throughout the uncloak animation.

    I've had this same problem. I thought i was doing something wrong. I'm interested in why it doesn't work now. Intended or bug?

    I thought the same thing after a few games being unable to lightburn Wraith, so I jumped into a KYF to test it and the Lightburn mechanic is still there, but it’s so ridiculously long that you’ll never be able to get it in a game unless you start flashing the flashlight a good second before they even start uncloaking. If they started uncloaking don’t even bother trying, you won’t stun them.

    Try a purple flashlight or some addons to make it more powerful. I am actually curious about this myself to see if it is true. I play a lot of wraith and I do rarely get stunned from flashlights.

    its because yellow flashlights dont have enough power and they changed the lightburn time to 2.5 seconds, in order to do a proper lightburn try waiting until they get close enough where they'll start uncloaking then shine it at him. You now kinda have to guess when they're gonna start uncloaking.

    The color of the flashlght doesn't matter they don't have diffrent powers only increased time of use by rarity.

    It still works, but its very hard to do cause most wraiths have fast uncloak.
