I'm fairly certain the Hemorrhage passive in the Nightblade tree requires a NB ability in that skill line to be slotted. Same for the Psychic Lesions passive for Arcanist.

Agreed, and if you consider the fighters guild passives are the same but with better skills... it makes it even easier to choose not to be a werewolf...



Fighters guild abilities: available to all builds except werewolf.. and easy to slot on the front bar:

Barbed Trap - one of the previous best skills in the game and still pretty good for the damage and the buffs it provide.
Camouflaged Hunter - reveals stealthy targets and provides a great buff while also giving minor berserk at times.
Flawless Dawnbreaker - very commonly slotted on the front bar for the passives.
Silver Shards - a ranged, partially aoe spammable.

with those 4 skills your sitting at +12% Weapon and Spell Damage.. VS the werewolf's 18% Weapon and Spell Damage.

Then if you factor in the weapon passives + the class passives + the fact that werewolf only has 5 useable skills (3 of which do damage). It is very easy to see why werewolf is so far behind.

For reference:
1 bar oaken soul build has 6 useable skills all fully customizable. (the ultimate is the 6th skill)
2 bar has 12 useable skills.

a subset of dedicated werewolf skill line passives that were both more offensive and defensive and carried over into human form might help make werewolf have a more unique version of gameplay that offers its own strengths ^_^

That’s a strong case to not play werewolf.

Agreed, and if you consider the fighters guild passives are the same but with better skills... it makes it even easier to choose not to be a werewolf...



Fighters guild abilities: available to all builds except werewolf.. and easy to slot on the front bar:

Barbed Trap - one of the previous best skills in the game and still pretty good for the damage and the buffs it provide.
Camouflaged Hunter - reveals stealthy targets and provides a great buff while also giving minor berserk at times.
Flawless Dawnbreaker - very commonly slotted on the front bar for the passives.
Silver Shards - a ranged, partially aoe spammable.

with those 4 skills your sitting at +12% Weapon and Spell Damage.. VS the werewolf's 18% Weapon and Spell Damage.

Then if you factor in the weapon passives + the class passives + the fact that werewolf only has 5 useable skills (3 of which do damage). It is very easy to see why werewolf is so far behind.

For reference:
1 bar oaken soul build has 6 useable skills all fully customizable. (the ultimate is the 6th skill)
2 bar has 12 useable skills.

do you play in PCNA? would you like to be friends?

Reason why should allow weapon passives for werewolf.

I agree or the werewolf passives should be useful enough that they are worth losing your class and weapon passives over. I really wish we could have more access to class passives from werewolf form. It would also be very nice to have more useful werewolf passives as well.


Since there was a reply related to weapon passives a while back, at least we were informed that not receiving them isn't a bug. And that its working as intended... though it is very disappointing that in some cases we don't for example get the warden passive for holding an ice staff despite holding one.
