The only thing the wraith needs is to make the bone clapper addon baseline. The idea that his reappearance ding should be directional without addons is just moronic as it allows survivors to instantly run the other direction. Give him that and the ability to equip two addons without having to reserve a slot for bone clapper and he's easily A tier tomorrow.
As far as viability, I play plenty of wraith, he is quite viable even at Rank 1. His increased movement speeds while cloaked gives him better map pressure than many killers and also allow him to use pop goes the weasel more optimally than most killers. His stealth allows him sneak up on survivors for easy first hits and he punishes healing with nurse's calling better than anyone due to being able to get right on top of someone healing and then uncloak.
The wraith also sports one of the best kits for many perk combinations. He can run anti-healing with sloppy butcher and nurse's calling and play hit and run wraith. He can go full machine gun chaser with STBFL and PWYF by using his cloak to keep ending chases on the obsessions to build up speed tickets and then chase down other survivors insanely quickly with faster recovery from STBFL.
I don't understand how perks justify a rework, considering it's not like you're forced to use them. Wraith's perks suck but that's not why anyone is playing him anyway. Leatherface has one of the best perks in the game and is still a terrible killer.
In his current state Wraith is middle of the pack, he's not in the core four "meta" killers category of Nurse, Billy, Freddy, and Spirit, and he's probably not in the group with Oni, Ghostface, and Huntress, but he's right behind that group.
Even so there's still much that he lacks both on his own (using the teachables) and in general such as chase, power, and range, what good is stealth if it's ruined a notification saying to the survivors "HEY! OVER HERE!" and having little to nothing to help chase them even with other perks. While it's not impossible to "win" (getting a 4K) a match with him it can still be difficult because of the skill curvethat comes with trying main him. Besides it doesn't HAVE to be a complete rework, it can be something as simple as bug fixes or modification to his teachables. My only wish is that the devs at think about it and/or take a look at wraith's design for what can be improved but ultimately the decision up to them.
