What gear is your werewolf using?

Tasear

Do you already have a set ready or will you be farming?

Feannag

Using Eternal Hunt (pack requirement) and Ravager along with Earthgore (and sometimes Molag Kena when solo). Also use Impregnable when I need some more staying power...this is for PVP

TheUndeadAmulet

For PvP, plague doctor for more tankiness, shacklebreaker for more stats and kena for maximum light attack damage.

Beardimus

I want to prolong WW as best poss so probably salvation / blood spawn / potentes or similar. But I only run my WW for lols

Woosha

I'll still be running a hybrid templar ww with Peninal's Aptitude and either sload or sometimes torug's. It has been nerfed pretty bad thought.

Aerius_Sygale

Here's a different one; Dreugh King Slayer, Strength of the Automaton, and Mighty Chudan. Notable other details of Gear; all Legendary including Infused Jewelry. Chest is a Reinforced Cuirass of the Dreugh King Slayer. Nirnhoned Automaton's Maul. Back Bar Weapon Type varies...

I´m asking myself the same question

Werewolf with Pelinial builds died this patch.

Green Pact > Plague Doctor (personal preference). Especially since Artheum Takaway Broth is consider a "food", it synergies very well with what werewolfs "need" this patch (except for magicka recovery, which is also important)

There's a lot more options though right? Also so many pack members!

Feannag

Just need a food (or drink)that is Health and Stamina with Magicka and Stamina regen. Not going to hold my breath.

I have also seen some folks run Impregnable or Fortified Brass for some extra tanky-ness.

Chrlynsch

Pelinal's is still effective if your looking to play a hybrid werewolf character/ heavy on the magicka side.

One of my Builds (Hairy Situation) still will utilize it. As it is the only way to effectively increase heal (in human form) and werewolf damage by stacking weapon damage). This set up is suprising effective in no cp pvp still.

The healing from hircine's rage has almost been halved on a hybrid, I had a 20k tooltip on that sucker.

It doesn't include max stamina, but Orzoga's bear haunch has max health, and boosts all 3 recoveries which can be just as good.

technohic

Shacklebreaker, ravager, bloodspawn right now. Might try Cyrodiils ward when it’s fixed as I like the healing off damage morph now over defile.

Skelfish

For PVP I've got Troll King, Green Pact, and I'm going to give Ranger's Gait a try (didn't get a chance to test in PTS first).
For PVE I'm doing Kra'ghs, Hunding's Rage, Bahraha's Curse. Might swap out Hunding's for Essence Thief just to play around with it more with "live" PVE stuff since I just used it with solo stuff during PTS.

Still need to farm Kena because light attack spam. Probably Blood Moon too since that seemed to do pretty well in PTS.

RavenSworn

Kena with automatons and the new moon hunter. Still trying to farm it.

Feannag

Hadn’t thought about Bahraha’s...have to dig that out from the old SAP Tank days and give that a try for PVE.

There´re numerous options for werewolf in PvP. WW is basically carried by gear due to them being "locked" into their limited choices of skills and passives. And it all comes down to how you want to play. You can do anything from tanking zergs to one-shot people as a werewolf. Therefore I wouldn´t say there are any kind of "BiS" build for werewolfs in PvP. And the best advice I can give is to make sure you´ve access to many different sets to play around with

Regarding Green Pact I prefer to pair it with:

1) Ozorga´s Smoked Bear Haunch: My #1 choice when it comes to solo/smallgroup play. You´ll lose a fair amount of max stamina with this. But I feel magicka recovery this patch is important in order to sustain the heal. Since you won´t have that much stamina with this (usually around 35-40k at maximum in WW-form) you need to heavy attack a lot.

2) Artheum Takeaway Broth: If you feel that you can sustain the WW-heal without any issues the Broth is slightly better than the Orsinium gold food in my opinion. It will give basically improve your stamina management. Preferable to use if you have someone in your group that can give you shards/orbs for sustain, or can act as a pocket heal (so you don´t have to use your WW-heal too often)

3) Tri-stat food: Only if you play in a bigger group where you don´t have to worry about your own sustain too much. Best way to push your max stats in my opinion.

Amdar_Godkiller

Troll King and Prisoner's Rags for sure. I'm weighing my options on what third set to swap my Pelinals for. Leaning towards Ravager, Jailbreaker, or seventh legion. At least until I get the new WW dungeon set.

anadandy

I'm a weirdo - I do seventh legion/akaviri dragonguard/chudan (occasionally dabble in bloodspawn) on my tank Imperial wolf. Though with the changes to Hircine's bounty I'll have to see if its worth keeping dragonguard for the magicka boost.

SilverIce58

I'm thinking about slimecraw, greenpact, and hundings. Or slimecraw, hundings, and something else that boosts stamina and damage. I cant decide on breton for the magicka recovery for the heal, or nord bc more health and stamina equals longer life and more damage. Im mostly doing solo with little to no grouping, so survivability+damage is what I'm going for.

Feannag

Go Orc...Stamina, Heal, and Speed...

I haven’t figured out the optimal Magicka regen yet to maintain consistnat heals without sacrificing stamina regen or weapon damage.

Mr_Wolfe

My current PVP setup is Pirate Skeleton/Hulking Draugr/Grace of Gloom. It's super tanky in wolf form, if a little RNG dependent, and it should work even better once Wolfhunter drops because of the extra max health.

Bahraha's is great for PVE. Tons of extra healing without having to spam Hircine's, which means if melee mobs group up you get more heals, and bosses are a lot more manageable if you're solo or in a small group. You can afford to have a damage monster and another 5 piece set. To upkeep Hircine's Rage for the brutality buff (if you don't use weapon power + crit potions), I felt pretty good with about 12k max magicka and about 1k recovery just in case I missed a mechanic and needed a quick heal.

It would be even better with Kena instead of Kra'gh because I'm pretty sure spell damage would boost the magic damage of the set, therefore improving the healing.

From personal preference I recommend to have at least 1k magicka recovery to be able to sustain the heal (at 1,3-1,4k magicka recovery you don´t even have to look at your magicka bar ^^)

Options to improve magicka regen:
1. Go with Ozorga´s Smoked Bear Haunch (Max HP, stamina recovery, magicka recovery and health recovery)
2. Use dual-wield and us an absorb magicka enchant on your infused off-hand
3. Add a magicka recovery glyph on one of your jewelleries
4. Use the atronach mundus stone (I´ve used this from time to time and it works really good)

If you´ve to prioritise between weapon damage and stamina recovery, choose weapon damage. Stamina recovery can be solved by heavy attacking more. Also, you don´t need a crazy amount of weapon damage to cause damage as a werewolf. If you can come close to 4k that´s enough to kill anyone within reasonable time in PvP.
