Update 5 Werewolf... what the...?

Phinix1 · November 2014

Reduced the duration of the werewolf Ultimate.

Seriously? The most borked class/sub-class line in the game and you are making the ultimate that requires an age to charge last even LESS time?

Your logic doesn't resemble our Earth logic, does it.

At least make damage scale off your highest stat, like every other ultimate, instead of forcing wolf to stack stamina.

I really just don't get it.

Going nord wolf anyway just because ef it, not going to play Imperial DK tank just because their racials are godlike compared to the laughable Nord racials, but man, talk about the short stick!

Excited for the rest of the update but the werewolf changes and lack of Nord racial buffs is really disappointing to me.

Werewolves are getting like a dozen buffs, and you choose to focus on the one need they're getting? Really?

Also, did the Devs ever say that they were going to change the Nord passives? The people who get a straight up 6% damage reduction passive are weak? Sure the others might be middle-of-the-road, but Nords are far from the weakest race in terms of passive skills.

I don't know about you, but my werewolf ultimate charges stupidly fast. Not, "use it in every single encounter" fast, but still, fast.

RedTalon · November 2014

It has always changed up very fast for me both in pve and pvp(just don't use it in pvp, though the bleed damage is now looking fun to use on blockers)

Actually WW is working quite well for me right now and it seems like it will be much better with patch 1.5

Remember,that

you can now feed yourself faster (with corpses) as a WW.

= You win a little bit time.

You can wear sets, that reduces your WW-transformation costs (ulti) by 33% and other ulti-cost-reduce sets that reduces ulti-costs 10-15%.

= With 33% = WW Ulti costs 285 Ultimate (instead of 425)
= With 33% and 15% = WW Ulti costs 221 Ultimate (instead of 425)

= You win a little bit time, because you can transformate MORE than before

You can fight with other werewolfes and the last passive ability will stack 5x.

= You win more time in your WW-form

So don't mind about

Because otherwise, the WW would be extremely crazy

I kind of agree with op. I used to have ww but I just can't stand the dev's stuff ups on it anymore so I dropped it. The amount of time you could spend in form was laughable as an ulti and if they are seriously going to shorten the time you spend in form it's just stupid.
Overall, don't really care anymore I just dropped it.

Why does everyone hate Nord racial? DR is baller.

Empty_Emotions · November 2014

I tried it on the PTS. You seem to have more time being wolf than before (even after the reductions).

I liked the changes there, felt fun to be a werewolf and I was actually looking forward to transforming.

If you don't have a metered connection and have the HDD space, I'd say give it a go on the PTS and tell em what you think. (Course it'll probably be live soon...)

c0rp · November 2014

They buffed WW again for the patch that didnt make it to the PTS. It is supposedly very much an ulti now justifying the reduced time. And as others have stated, you can feed much more quickly now too. If it feels like an actual ulti now, I have no problem with a reduced duration.
