What class would work best for this?

21jws10

I am making an Imperial Vampire/WW hunter, primarily using the fighter's guild and weapon abilities (2h and Bow), maybe the occasional stamina morph from a class, though more than likely not.
So the main thing what matters at the moment is the passives which dont lean on class abilities which equate to the following:
Yeah I think I wont be too dependent on class skills due to 2h, bow and the fighter's guild catering for my needs, so that leaves those class passives which don't require the skills. I particularly don't like playing templar, but if the suit fits, I'll do it.
The competition is between the following:

DK

1. Iron Skin- Block an additional (5-10%) damage.
2. Scaled Armor- Increases spell resistance by X
3. Battle Roar- Activating an ultimate restores health, magicka, and stamina in amount increased by (35-70%) of the ultimate's cost

NB

1. Master Assassin- Increases weapon and spell damage while invisible or stealthed by 10%. Successful stealthed attacks stun for 100% longer.
2. Refreshing Shadows- Increases stamina regeneration by 30%.
3. Catalyst- After drinking a potion you gain 8 Ultimate

Sorc

1. Unholy Knowledge- Reduces magicka and stamina costs for all abilities by 5%.
2. Power Stone- Reduces the cost of ultimate abilities by 15%.
3. Capacitor- Reduces magicka recovery by 10%.

Temp

1. Piercing Spear- Increases the damage bonus for your critical strikes by 10% and your damage against blocking targets by (5-10%).
2. Spear Wall- Increases the amount of damage you block against melee attacks by (7-15%).
3. Balanced Warrior- Increases your weapon damage by (3-6%) and your spell resistance by X.
4. Restoring Spirit- Reduces magicka, stamina and ultimate ability cost by (2-4%)
5. Master Ritualist- Increased resurrection speed by (10-20%), resurrected allies return with (50-100%) more health and gives you a 50% chance to gain a soul gem after each successful resurrection.

Which would you pick and why? In correlation with the character features above and your own playstyles.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Well, the Templar seems intended as the game's default "vampire hunter" class, given its one skill line..

But the OP wants to hunt Werewolves...

I imagine a templar, some vigilant of Stendar with a Bow, and maybe s&b on the other bar, but mostly templar skills, javelins etc and ofc crossbow. Also! Soul trap. You gotto collect those corrupted souls with a bit of mysticism. The irony of it, when the soul of a foe of yours end up as a weapon recharge used to kill his comerades?


Also I'd go med armor, mix in sneaking too.

Stamina NB or Templar would be my choice but I wouldnt use too much fighters guild skills, most are pretty weak.

This individual is correct, don't like templar too much to be honest.

I'd day nightblade. Works pretty well with stamina builds, much better cohesion of class and FG abilities. Ambush is an excellent stamina morph, gap closer with empower in the mix, much better utility than say wrecking blow.

You also have fear or manifestation of terror for those hairy situations, double take for Mobility and mitigation, shadow image for escape and minor maim debuff, crippling grasp for chasing down targets amd locking them down.

Looks like nightblade it is, now for weapon choice, two hander and bow seems like the best option, what type of two hander would be best for this purpose? What core abilities from both weapons are needed? I assume snipe from bow, not too sure about which two hander ones... Need something that would put off a werewolf trying to offload loads of damage on me.

Rally is a must here, though forward momentum is an awesome subsitution in pvp. Grab carve for heroism buff allowing you to offload your ultimates. Soul harvest will help ultimate generation as well though for best results personally I like to use soul tether. Stuns, heals and Damage as long as you stay within vicinity. It works best with melee though for escapes,

If you are thinking of going against ww, then poison is your best bet. Grab lethal injection and lethal arrow. Put some points in thaumaturge and also grab camo hunter.

Acid spray is a better morph as well, while wrecking blow seems good, you already have ambush for cc, gap closer and empower. For executes, since you are focused on weapon damage, use executioner rather than killer's blade. Flawless dawnbreaker will increase that weapon damage, and poison damage will definitely help you lots.

What fighter's guild morphs should I use for bolts? Shards seems like it would rarely be useful compared to leash.
Here are the concept bars I have thought of:

Bar 1 Ult, Flawless Dawnbreaker, Silver Bolts (Leash), Momentum (Rally), Cleave (Carve), Reverse Slash (Executioner), Expert Hunter
Bar 2 Ult, Flawless Dawnbreaker, Poison Arrow (Injection), Arrow Spray (Acid), Snipe (Lethal), Trap Beast (Lightweight), Expert Hunter (Unsure what morph?)

EH is on both so I have easy access and can see them at all times.

Well the Templar class seems the most likely to be aligned with Stendar, who oppposed the undead (including vampires) and, to a lesser extent, werewolves. So for me, it definitely would feel like the correct class for the lore that you're looking for.

Put EH on one bar since having on both bars is a waste of slots givem expert hunter is not a toggle but a buff. I dont know how your playstyles go but you can do this:

Snipe ( lethal)
Poison arrow ( injection)
Arrow Spray ( acid)
Cripple ( grasp)
Mark of the hunter ( piercing for pvp, reaper for pve)
Soul Harvest for the ult generation without using the ult.

Momentum (rally)
Expert hunter ( camouflaged imo, though evil gains you stamina)
Ambush
Reverse slash (executioner)
Shadowy image
Flawless Dawnbreaker
