Best Class for Werewolves?

coop500

As the title states, what is the best class for werewolves? Thinking of making yet another and was curious to hear the input of others.

i find my pulverize procs are orgasmic with the amount of bleeds from werewolf claws and we even have passives to boost some of those abilities damage

All classes work depending on whether you plan to play a build where you stay in WW-form as long as possible, or a playstyle where you just go into WW-form for some extra burst potential.

In general there´re 2 classes that comes out on top due to their passives:
* Templar
* Sorcerer

Sorcerer, interesting, I was not expecting that~

Do while-slotted effects from non ww abilities work in ww form? Things like expert hunter for the crit and fighters guild bonus?

have to go with stamsorc. with their passives and buffs they just synergize too well. WW Bleeds can proc implosion, crit surge can heal and increase Weapon damage, Hurricane adds more resistances and even more passive damage. reduce stam/magicka cost passives, lower Ult, etc, it's a fun time

Critical surge is good in theory but in practice it will wear off quickly and you'll have to shapeshift in order to recast.

If you want to focus on werewolf, get a set of dreugh king slayer from fungal grotto 1. It provides major brutality even when in ww form and will give you major expedition on kills for super puppy speed.

My main is a stam warden wood elf. Would that be good for a WW? I don't really like Vamps (although I am thinking about making my dark elf templar one).

And can't seem to find anyone on XBox NA to give out WW bites, whether pay or free. Plenty for Vamps though.

Warden has no passives that help out ww form.

My Werewolf alt is a nightblade for the Soul Harvest ultimate building up ult faster to transform.

Also use Maw of Infernal, Relentless Focus and Morkuldin for extra incentive for the bad habit of light attack spamming against boss battles.

Templar makes for a fun werewolf healer hybrid utilizing Pelinal's. Solid solo and group play.

Sorc is best for damage. Pair with overload for 4 bars total. Works best with support.

Nightblade has the best sustain.

DK has a second wind due to battle roar.

Warden has some good survivability in human form. Surprisingly not a lot of help in werewolf form, too many passives tied to class lines and abilities.

Warden gets 8% physical damage.

I wonder if this gear setup would work well for a werewolf build:
5x dreugh king slayer
5x toothrow
2x slimecraw

That would give you major brutality, major savagery, and minor berserk at all times and work while shifted. Make sure its a dual wield setup for max weapon damage.

Winter passive gives an 8% boost to physical and frost damage.


Edit: nevermind its 6%

I can almost smell that this thread is going to be a nerf Sorc thread.

It would not work well.

In Pve
5 medium means using dreugh jewelry aka healthy and overall would have underwhelming stamina pool.
Toothrow jewelry means running 5 heavy, dropping weapon damage and crit.

In PVP
You would have very bad survivability.

Are you sure, I think that passive got changed to frost/magic damage before warden went live. Did I miss something?

This pretty much. Personally I feel the setup with Pelinial outperforms stamsorc werewolf 24/7. For me stamplar werewolf is the #1 champion of werewolfs.

Werewolf will never be competitive as is, its more of a fun soloing thing

Warden has all of 2 passives that do not require a Warden ability to be used or slotted that can help werewolf form:
Maturation: When healing you or an ally, grant Minor Toughness to increase Max Health for 5 seconds.
Icy Aura: Reduces effectiveness of snares by 15%

Icy Aura increases magic and frost damage, not physical damage unfortunately.
