there are guides talking about which classes are best as werewolf due to specific passives or passive abilities. What would be the best combination of class trees for maximum wolf?

Aedric Spear (Templar) and Storm Calling (Sorcerer) are a given, for reasons mentioned above.

For the third skill line, I'm thinking either:

• Grave Lord (Necromancer) for the Rapid Rot passive, increasing the DoT damage of Carnage, Werewolf Berserker's light attack bleed, and Infectious Claws, as well as any DoT set proc. Maybe a future Werewolf Scribing ability will have the option of dealing damage over time.
• Winter's Embrace (Warden) for the Piercing Cold passive. This requires you to use a set or glyph which deals Frost Damage while under 30k Max Health, but this increases your Damage Done by a percentage. You could use double Infused with a single Frost Damage weapon glyph to get the uptime to 100%, but at that point I'm not sure if it would outperform double Charged with Flame/Poison weapon glyphs. Maybe a future Werewolf Scribing ability will have the option of dealing Frost Damage.

If Werewolf gets a Scribing ability that can use Class Mastery, then Sorcerer will probably be the better choice for the base Class because the Sorcerer Class Mastery is a damage proc when you have no pets (i.e., when you run Werewolf Berserker). Templar's Class Mastery requires actual Templar abilities to get the full effect, but even without Sacred Ground active on you, you'll get flat WD/SD and Armor with it. For PvE purposes, it's probably best to swap out Roar for a Werewolf Scribing ability, since we don't usually cast Roar during combat and only utilize it for the passive Major Savagery/Prophecy, due to Terrified being inadequate.

Sorcerer WW can use Beacon of Oblivion, but not Monolith of Storms. Templar WW cannot use either of their Class Sets. We should wait until we get our third Class Set before determining whether Class Sets are a determining factor in Werewolf builds.

If you are going full damage route I think:

Aedric Spear
* burning Light
* balanced warrior

Storm Calling
*energized
*amplitude

and... Grave Lord?
*rapid rot

. Too bad the corpse consumption only works via necro consume and not WW.

If Necromancer was your base Class, you can use Corpseburster with Werewolf's Devour synergy. Werewolf isn't able to generate Ultimate, so Living Death's "Corpse Consumption" passive is meaningless while transformed — but interestingly, Templar's Repentance ability counts as a corpse consumption ability and should be able to proc it.

I think Stormcalling and Aedric Spear offer the two best passives.

For your third line I would actually go with Winters embrace from Warden. Using a frost enchant on one of your weapons can proc the piercing cold passive, which grants a 8% damage buff with full uptime. You also get increased damage on your chilled procs and increased chance to proc chilled which your frost enchant would also benefit from.

Other options are Nightblade assassination for 3k penetration while flanking, Ardent flame DK for 40% damage increase on flame and poison dots if you were to use those as dual enchants, or grave lord necro for 10% dot damage.

You could also consider using a line just for sustain as Wolf is pretty hungry in that aspect.
