Im an Elder Werewolf. As far as stamina is concerned, you dont have to worry about it since the transformation gives you huge bonuses. What you do have to worry about is what protection skills you have that "passed over" from human to Wolf

You want to use a class whose skills pass over to werewolf form. As a Dk, molten weapons passes over fine but inferno does not. Templar on the other hand has nothing that passes over, or at least anything significant since Restoring aura last only 9 seconds while Molten wpns has over a minute duration. As a NB haste might work well for you if it passes over but siphoning i dont believe passes over. If it does, it still not good since you want as much wpn damage as possible.

For weapon you want the 2handed melee skill tree. Since WW scales from wpn damage now and 2h is the strongest in that dept. Use momentum for even more wpn damage.

For armor medium or heavy is nice. Heavy has the benefit of giving you longer Immovable skill which is good in pvp situations.

Glyphs that return h/m/s are good to put on your 2h as well. That passes over.

The mage guild tree has a good morph to nullify poison and ambush dmg in pvp. Use radiant magelight and 56% of the damage from any stealth or invisible attack is avoided. Since, most NB attacks use poison skills, this skill pretty much protects you from initial attacks like Lethal arrow and poison arrow and also any follow up atacks from enemies who restealth.

If you are a DC werewolf. Pm me for more info and maybe a guild invite.

Ok, you are right, if we talk about direct damage. I guessed, that the new skills will cost a lot and do direct dmg, but we will see.
Nontheless. We "dont`t need" stamina as a ressource, but we need it as a stat, since it influences our damage and has a 20% bonus in WW form (wich "negates" partial the overcharge (so to speak...)).

I already have stamina and weaponpower capped, without ww form. In WW form stamina rises high above the cap.

So if you are in a group, one dk is defenetly superb. But it depends on how long we can stay in WW.

If you were choosing on race of a WW would you go:

Imperial: +Health, + Stam, 10% chance heal on melee damage
Reguard: +Stam, +Stam recovery, Small stam regen on melee hit

I am trying to decide which race to pair with either a Templar (tank spec) or NB (Tank spec with bow for range).

Any thoughts, or better experience with these combinations?

Imperial. The redgaurd stam is per melee hit and has an ugly 3-4 second wait per. As i stated above.....stamina is hardly and issue. If you really want it just do what i said above and get a stamina absorption weapon.

Thanks, that helps, may actually go with a Nord for the damage reduction. It does cause me to wonder, do racial passives carry over to WW form now (of course we don't know if they will in the future).

Yes racial passive do carry over, you even get procs from Red Diamond as an Imperial which increases your sustainability while transformed.

the following passives that do not carry over are :
- Passives related to weapons
- Passives related to slotted skills
- Passives related to stealth (since obviously WW can't stealth)

If a passive is neither in one of those three categories it will work even when you are transformed into a WW.

Yeah, I'm going to second the Imperial vote. These guys make freakin' scary werewolves. I was able to clear the Hunting Grounds on a level 16 Imperial Nightblade. The bonuses don't seem that impressive, but once you've wolfed out, they're amazing.

Also, Nightblades get access to Refreshing Shadows, which is a +30% to Stam regen. I know people are saying stamina regeneration doesn't really matter, but when it's +30% on a medium armor build you almost cannot run out.

IMO...Sorc.

Show me another class with higher wep dmg than me and i'll consider rerolling =P

Just some news in the WW post!

Hello, everyone!
We wanted to let everyone know that we have read through this thread and taken steps to further improve the Werewolf Skill Line based on your feedback. You folks have made some great suggestions and offered some valuable insight into potential changes. Whenever possible, we've used suggestions in this thread as guidelines for improving what we had already put in place when we announced these changes.

That said, many suggestions you have made are not currently possible, although they may be in the future. The biggest of these is that the Werewolf Transformation will remain an Ultimate ability that has a duration, rather than being a Toggle. Making Werewolf into a toggle was the first improvement we wanted to make, but it ended up not being possible due to technical restrictions.

Additionally, we aren't currently adding any werewolf specific emotes or animations, nor are we adding more skins. It is possible we will add these in a future update.

We did make a few changes that make the "werewolf play style" more viable.

• “Negative” effects will no longer affect you while Transforming. No more wasted Ultimate because a Disorient hits you halfway through the Transformation!
• We've reduced the cooldown of Devour and made it so it is no longer Interrupted by taking damage. Additionally, it will be usable on a few more creature types.
• Being a Werewolf increases your Stamina, in either form.
• Using your Heavy Attack will restore Stamina, the same as Weapon Skill line Heavy Attacks.
• To go with that, we changed the Pursuit Passive so it increases the amount of Stamina restored with Heavy Attacks.
• The Pack Leader Morph will add to the "Werewolf" counter for the Werewolf and any Werewolf allies nearby instead of adding Ultimate.

We look forward to these changes hitting PTS and getting your Feedback soon

If i read that right, your ultimate will be added to WW timer?!?!?!??!?!?

--> What are the consequences for race-class chosing?

With the upcoming changes in patch 1.5
Percentage like the passives from imperial will be op.
Imagine: 12% from 20k life! 10% from 15k stamina!
