    I'm fairly certain the Hemorrhage passive in the Nightblade tree requires a NB ability in that skill line to be slotted. Same for the Psychic Lesions passive for Arcanist.

    Yeah I knew there were likely more I was missing. You'd think I would have all the functioning passives memorized at this point considering how little werewolf actually gets

    Agreed, and if you consider the fighters guild passives are the same but with better skills... it makes it even easier to choose not to be a werewolf...

    0u0fszie24b8.png

    Fighters guild abilities: available to all builds except werewolf.. and easy to slot on the front bar:

    Barbed Trap - one of the previous best skills in the game and still pretty good for the damage and the buffs it provide.
    Camouflaged Hunter - reveals stealthy targets and provides a great buff while also giving minor berserk at times.
    Flawless Dawnbreaker - very commonly slotted on the front bar for the passives.
    Silver Shards - a ranged, partially aoe spammable.

    with those 4 skills your sitting at +12% Weapon and Spell Damage.. VS the werewolf's 18% Weapon and Spell Damage.

    Then if you factor in the weapon passives + the class passives + the fact that werewolf only has 5 useable skills (3 of which do damage). It is very easy to see why werewolf is so far behind.

    For reference:
    1 bar oaken soul build has 6 useable skills all fully customizable. (the ultimate is the 6th skill)
    2 bar has 12 useable skills.

    Necro Main
    Tank main from 300cp - 1200cp at which point I switched to DPS - I was 100k on every class except werewolf. I cleared 115k on necro, but I am completely done with parsing. My hands won't let me anymore. Lucky there is still heavy attack and arcanist options available. Otherwise I would possibly have to give up eso entirely.

    Werewolf only has one good passive that helps it in combat, one so-so sustain passive, and one very dangerous healing passive.

    Devour - Helps with healing however you have to stand in place and take damage while your devouring. Making it more dangerous then helpful.
    Pursuit - Speed buff and is helpful for sustain however is nearly worthless because the first heavy takes so long.
    Savage Strength - The only useful and helpful passive. (The survivability of this passive is something every build could/would normally have equipped anyway)

    a subset of dedicated werewolf skill line passives that were both more offensive and defensive and carried over into human form might help make werewolf have a more unique version of gameplay that offers its own strengths ^_^

    That’s a strong case to not play werewolf.

    Agreed, and if you consider the fighters guild passives are the same but with better skills... it makes it even easier to choose not to be a werewolf...

    0u0fszie24b8.png

    Fighters guild abilities: available to all builds except werewolf.. and easy to slot on the front bar:

    Barbed Trap - one of the previous best skills in the game and still pretty good for the damage and the buffs it provide.
    Camouflaged Hunter - reveals stealthy targets and provides a great buff while also giving minor berserk at times.
    Flawless Dawnbreaker - very commonly slotted on the front bar for the passives.
    Silver Shards - a ranged, partially aoe spammable.

    with those 4 skills your sitting at +12% Weapon and Spell Damage.. VS the werewolf's 18% Weapon and Spell Damage.

    Then if you factor in the weapon passives + the class passives + the fact that werewolf only has 5 useable skills (3 of which do damage). It is very easy to see why werewolf is so far behind.

    For reference:
    1 bar oaken soul build has 6 useable skills all fully customizable. (the ultimate is the 6th skill)
    2 bar has 12 useable skills.

    do you play in PCNA? would you like to be friends?

    I agree or the werewolf passives should be useful enough that they are worth losing your class and weapon passives over. I really wish we could have more access to class passives from werewolf form. It would also be very nice to have more useful werewolf passives as well.


    Since there was a reply related to weapon passives a while back, at least we were informed that not receiving them isn't a bug. And that its working as intended... though it is very disappointing that in some cases we don't for example get the warden passive for holding an ice staff despite holding one.
