Farewell Werewolves

SiAScORCH

Well with the upcoming changes, werewolf will be even less relevant. It will literally have no use, because it's damage is literally light attacks & heavy attacks. So you can slot the ultimate for the bonuses which are pointless because now you have an ultimate you can't use. lol

I would love to hear their ideas of this, or will it not be affected while in WW form?

Well most WWs already bought the chapter to get oakensoul, so they got their money already

I doubt they'd make an exception.

Werewolfs are still extremely strong in Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds. I run with a couple who are crazy good, I'll wait and see what they think.

You still get the same boosts/bleed with LA/HA with the skills slotted,and who knows,the light/heavy attacks might be flat,but also could be higher,we won't know til pts,or u35 is live.

It’s possible to build a werewolf not based around LAs and HAs… I didn’t even realize people build their werewolves like this until now. Mine uses Howl of Agony as a spammable.

It all depends how it will be done.

Currently, LA / HA scales with your stats, and WW has % bonus to weapon / spell damage and max stamina. WW also does not have a spamable and uses LA as its spamable. So, while other classes have multiple choices what spamable they want to use, WW only has LA, that won't scale with any of your stats.

From Update 35 Combat Preview :
Both areas required an extensive pass of existing class ability and passive power to ensure they remain balanced with one another afterward. As such, the PTS patch notes will have a sizable amount of number tweaking.

So, I can see that without addressing, there will be serious issue here. They may change WW passive, so it would for example include a % bonus to LA / HA (since you have huge claws lol), or maybe they will make one of the WW skills cheaper so it could be used as a Spamable.

Anyway, I would not expect miracles. WW is not high on ZOS's priority list and it is kinda neglected by ZOS. They said that it may take a while (even next - next update) till stuff will be balanced again lol.

Also from Update 35 Combat Preview :
After these adjustments are live, we are going to focus on any resulting balance issues for the next few updates, hopefully reducing the chaotic nature of change for a brief period after the initial turbulence. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the discussions that come out of this, as well as the initial feedback over the upcoming PTS cycle.

Ok, we know that ZOS only balances for those who complain so people must have been complaining and 99% of the time they balance for PvP to the detriment of PvE players.

ZOS NEVER ACHIEVES BALANCE. That would require them to actually give us a real form or progression.
