Little Confused About Werewolves

Akisohida · October 2023

So all info I find says 'Weapon passives Do not Work with werewolf'. Except I killed a mob while in WW form, and it burst into flames on death. So apparently my fire enchantment worked?
So I have a few questions:

1. Is a fire enchantment not a 'passive'?
2. Would poisons work?
3. Does weapon speed affect werewolf attack speed? IE: Would I attack faster with a dagger over a greatsword? Or with two daggers in a dual-wield?
4. How does weapon damage affect werewolf attacks? Not skills; base attacks.
5. How does armor affect WW form? Would I get more survivability in Heavy armor just because it has the higher armor points?
6. Do armor passives affect WW form? IE: Increased Stamina regen, boosted physical armor, etc?

It seems WEAPON skill-passives DO work? As I was told to go Sorcerer for the Energized passive?
So confused.

ok so to unpack.

1: weapon enchantments do work
2: yes
3: all weapons attack at the same speed so it dosn't factor in
4: the same way it effects your regular attacks, it directly adds the stat to your weapon/spell damage total
5: yes you would
6: yes again they do

as for what it means by "weapon passives do not work in werewolf form" is exsactly that, the passives from weapon skill lines, for example, the +crit chance via using daggers in dual weild will not function, or the increased stam rec for smacking somebody with a 2H, none of those work

and Sorcer's Energized passive is a CLASS passive, not a weapon passive, which along with armour and racial passives work in fuzzy form.

any further questions?

Nope! That answered them all, thank you!

It basically boils down to 'Only weapon skill passives don't work'. Enchantments, traits, class skills, armor skills, and set bonuses do.

Clearly when you transform your weapons fuse with your arms like some sort of eldritch abomination... at least, that's what ZOS seems to think.

It makes no sense that weapon passives don't work, but armor passives do.

You don't lose your weapon passives when you transform into a Bone Goliath or a Blood Scion, so why should transforming into a Werewolf be any different?

Werewolf should be allowed to use weapon passives, just like every other build in the game can.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for assistance.

Thank you for your understanding
