More max stats mean werewolves actually got buffed... nice

Did the devs scroll past the hundreds of complaints about werewolves and just decide a 5k resistance nerf was all it was going to take to stop them from being SSS+ tier? I seem to hit less on them and they seem to hit much harder on me, the opposite of everything else this patch. Nice work, who knew it wasn’t CP makingthe most poorly balanced thing in the game stays disgustingly overpowered it was 5 sets worth of buffs werewolf gets as passives. When absolutely everything else is far closer to balanced werewolves are out here stronger than they were last patch, in which they were the worst problem plaguing the game.

    Haven't met a ww so far this patch that didn't get huminuked in less than 30 seconds, even the 50k HP ones role-playing as pure tanks (and no I'm not a ganker). Sure they hit harder (and so do I) but with my own selfheals being through the roofs it's definitely manageable.

    The HP scaling heal and mobility do need adjustments however. Ww should be an offensive tool not be abused to "not die".

    WWs healing is not scaled with max stamina or wep damage. WWs 10k resist passive was changed to major resist buff that only gives 5.9k resistances. With the increasing dot and burst damage they either need to make a defensive build or recovery build to heal constantly and survive. Either way they cant deal enough damage to kill their target. WWs actually was nerfed this patch.

    pretty sure that you cant die to a WW now. They are other useless tanks or they hit mediocre and are glasscannon-y

    This matches my experience thus far.

    This ^

    My PvE built Wolf deals 25k crit howls to mobs, there's no way a proper build character took 14k from a player in normal circumstances.

    How does max stats mean a buff for werewolf when everything gets it?
    That one khajiit obsessed with werewolf behemoth and vampire lord. Lady Thorn is bae, dont @ me.
    Werewolf behemoth=vampire lord>blood scion>werewolf>vampire.

    Werewolf was nerfed really hard and it was about time! No more getting carried while playing the most braindead gameplay. So many of them are getting a big ego/reality check this patch and it is so refreshing. The balance has never been this good in pvp. Best patch in like 3 years. I subbed back to eso plus thank you zos for rewarding fast paced and reactive gameplay. Proc tanks are also not as viable and snipers are a joke right now. It feels like a dream. To stay on topic i dont mind them having crazy high damage if it means i can do the same to em!

    Had a stamina stacking werewolf with Shacklebreaker draugr hulk last update for test. My stamina got lower because 20% from cp is removed. Maybe your stamina on werewolf is higher if you have only base stamina but mine isn’t. Maybe 30% stamina increase is worth more if it isnt additive to 20% cp increase but at all stamina stacking was nerfed.

    It is also the change of pack leader and overperforming sets(crimson, alessia, chudan) that made werewolf such annoying tanks, werewolf berserker wasnt so tanky. They nerfed werewolf resistance but didnt touch werewolf pack leader 10% damage decrease.

    Since the console update I’ve seen exactly one WW who would be classified as OP. He also had like 1700 CP and is really good at ESO.

    The rest of them seem to mostly burn like kindling.

    Shields. You can easily attain a 10k dampen magicka shield in Cyrodiil with little effort. Of my 12 potential skills I have 7 slotted to shields or heals.

    Positioning mostly. If I’m ever first one into a hoard I try to get in, fire off a shot or two, and get out. Let the other people on your team be meat shields. If stick and move isn’t an option just bang a hard turn away from the flag inside the door.

    It’s quite easy.

    You just need 50k+ magic. It’s very, very rare that I run out of magic in Cyrodiil.
