The glowing markings depend on the morph:
The unmorphed version has no markings
Berserker is the red eyes and claw marks
and Pack Leader has a green Hircine logo on the chest
There are also the three base colors (black, white, and ashen) which currently work as they do normally where the morph dictates the fur color. However, the Stonefalls Dynamic encounter drops fragments (1, 5, 10 for black, ashen, white) that you can consume to unlock the colors as skill styles and then you get whichever color you choose.
The pics above are all with the Ashen style. Here are the other two:

Every time, I’ve gone back and watched the replay, and I haven’t seen any desync on my end. The enemy HP values line up with the damage numbers shown by the base game, and the kills make sense within that GCD.
At this point, I honestly think a lot of people are just looking for a way to cope with dying to it without understanding what actually killed them. It’s not just the first GCD either, the next 2–3 GCDs put out a ton of damage and pressure as well if the gank is executed properly.
I’ve also been playing the Pulse Gank build for a while now, and I can confidently tell you that desync is absolutely a thing that happens commonly unless you’ve got God-level ping. You don’t notice it while playing the build, but the desync isn’t happening to you.
Have you ever opened up on someone, and there’s a moment where they just stand still, not blocking, dodging, or casting skills? They simply stop moving and seem to accept their fate? If so, congratulations! You’ve seen desync live and in living color.
I’ve personally never seen it, and I’ve been hit by this gank plenty of times without ever feeling like I got desynced, and I play on fairly high ping myself, around 150–200 ms. Until actual proof is shown, I don’t think anyone is exploiting anything here if the argument is just “server desync,” especially when desync affects nearly every part of PvP whenever the servers are struggling.
The much simpler explanation is that the gank’s one-GCD potential is just ridiculous, even into fairly tanky specs. More often than not, that is probably what people are dying to.
Re: Good DK buff
This kind of DPS coming from brain off spam of light attacks and/or 1-2 abilities has to stop. It is super unhealthy gameplay, has zero skill based counterplay and only minimal build-based counterplay, and is overall just not fun to fight.
It's fine for dot builds to exist, but we should be encouraging more engaged gameplay than "my light attacks make you take 5k dps". Pyreband and wildfire are some of the worst offenders, but they're not the only things like that on PTS either. Werewolf and some of the sorc & warden status setups come to mind, too.
Would really like to see the pyre change reverted and the wildfire passive reworked into something that isn't a free damage proc. I posted this in another thread, but some ideas could be;

- Increases your damage by X% for each dragonknight dot you have active on your opponent.
- Causes your opponent to take X% more damage from dots for each dragonknight dot they have active on them.
- For each of your DK dots active on your target, increase the damage of newly applied DK dots by x%.

For instance, one of them could increase Fury generation, and another could remove the Ultimate drain in combat altogether. Currently, both sets have the same purpose — reducing the cost of Werewolf Transformation, which includes the drain each 10 seconds.
Shapeshifter's Chain as a 1 piece Mythic has the added bonus of reducing the cost of the rest of the Werewolf abilities, which is less useful now that all the Stamina abilities were made cheaper, but at least it's still useful for making the heal cheaper.
Salvation, on the other hand, is not worth 5 item slots in my opinion. Sure, it reduces the drain by one third, but that's only useful for solo Werewolf Berserkers, and since those are damage dealers, they need more than just 150 WD/SD for the 5 piece bonus. The 2-4 piece bonuses (2x Maximum Stamina, 1x Stamina Recovery) are also not ideal for a damage dealer setup.
Maybe Salvation Set 5 piece could double the cap of Blood Hunger caps from 4 to 8 possible stacks.
And then for Shape shifter chain, it could add 2600 crit chance while Rampaging is active.
Hmm 🤔 I will think on this more I like your ideas
I like the idea of doubling the Blood Hunger caps! And adding more buffs to Rampage would be nice. Those would make great Item Set bonuses!
Maybe we could also get some of the other Werewolf-themed sets like Kraglen's Howl, Balorgh, and Vykosa to have an additional effect for werewolves? I think every Werewolf-themed set should have an additional bonus for Werewolves, so Werewolf builds don't just follow the meta that everyone else is using. It would be sort of like Werewolf's version of Class Sets. If you build for Werewolf, it should be more optimal to go all in with thematic sets that are BiS for the Werewolf playstyle, rather than using the same sets that everyone else is using (but of course those should still be options!)
And yes, if/when Vampire gets a rework, I expect Vampire-themed sets like Vampire Cloak, Vampire's Kiss, Lady Thorn, and Talfyg's Treachery to gain additional effects for Vampires. Just like how Werewolf Hide and Savage Werewolf gained additional effects for Werewolves during Werewolf's rework.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
For all of those asking for video proof of WW overperforming, here you go. Keep in mind that some of the players in this video are genuinely amongst the top pvp players in the entire game, getting absolutely obliterated with almost no chance of fighting back at all by a guy weaving two damaging skills with light attacks and 40k hp.
There is no defending how broken this is.https://youtu.be/zYtbITjCW-4?si=geC3xCf8s0W9IhWw
Looks like abusing multiple proc set interactions with static reverberation. Those should get adjusted first before we go calling for nerfs on a playstyle that's been worse than necro for the last 5 years.
Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 1 Summary
this is a pretty "meta" looking build from live used on the PTS with class masteries
My weave is pretty quick, 0.019 with good uptimes on my skills. I'm not missing light many light attacks and I even did the cheese overload start.
I can say this without any quivication, this build is dead. pet builds are dead.
exactly the same setup, with no pets
swap in monolith of stroms and mora's scribe
it keeps going until you layer in enough cheesey BS that you end up with
If Static was the problem, then the first no pet parse would be a sudden huge jump. Swapping the sets was a much bigger jump.
adding signet, banner and status knife was an even bigger jump.
My point is, don't arbitratily nerf sorc when it's all this specific combination of stuff that is required to make sorc good at killing the trial dummy
In a lot of content, these options will not apply. It's not viable. Monolith of storms is amazing on the dummy, and the proc does almost nothing in most content. The pylons are too slow to spawn, they take too long to proc the actual damage and it usually misses most of the targets.
Without the 200 spell damage per pylon it's a really really bad set.
But on the dummy you get 100% uptime very easily. This is not realistic.
Almost every skill at the top of a sorc parse has NO CLEAVE.
Crystal Frags, bound armaments, static reverb, your spammable, concussion, light attacks. This is what is sitting at the top of a sorc parse.
Sorc dps is good at one thing only, and that's single target dps. It's ok to let sorcs be the best at that. It's fine for them to be 5% or even 10% above the rest if that's the only thing they are doing.

Re: Next New Zone?
We already know it's Winterhold.
And to be honest, I have no specific wish for a region before I've seen if the writing quality has improved now that they're not releasing a big zone every year. I don't want to see a region I find specifically interesting being wasted.

This person is covering up their ability bar and add-ons, so I think this video is disingenuous. We would need full transparency if something is really going on otherwise who is to say this player is not simply exploiting---either in sets or in class mastery passives or other interactions we haven't thought of, those appear to be the real overpowered element.
You cannot be serious lmao
Do you know what an ability bar is ?
companions need to be adjusted (challenge difficulty)
on vestige (or in general) they do way too much damage and dont loose nearly as much as I do. Seems like my companion is way stronger than me
I understand they are supposed to help us but I dont think they should make more damage or have more health than the player and I know they cant really play smart or roll dodge well if at all but at least reduce the values somewhat.
