Werewolf Quest Scaling to VR14

polar · October 2014

PTS Patch notes indicate that: "Solo instances do not scale past Veteran Rank 12 at this time."

However, the werewolf quest is scaling to VR14 (all mobs are VR14). Sadly, despite trying about 10 times last night, the werewolf skills (all 2 that you get for the quest) at lvl 1 are not high enough DPS to complete the quest. I tried and died over and over....couldn't even kill one of the leopards without it turning and mowing me down in a few hits.

Is this intended? Anyone else having this issue?

How you get WW quest? All templates now already have WW skill line.

I think the idea to scale instances is a good one... about 95% of the time. The werewolf quest is a situation where it's likely to get harder as it scales up due to the player losing all class and weapon abilities while inside the quest.

I'm hoping the quest is still doable, even at higher vet levels of scaling, but the point is that the quest (relative to player power) shouldn't scale up to the point that players feel they NEED to do it at a lower level for it to be done easier. The idea of the game is that we grow more powerful over time, not less powerful, even if it's just our power level relative to that of the mobs around us.

Some people are using their own characters that don't have it.

Yea, I am using my toon and one of my guildies that is a WW gave me a bite. Tried about 6 more times last night. The mob difficulty is scaled, but I just cant do enough damage with the limited WW skills you get to kill anything. It is also noteworthy that the PTS patch notes say dungeons will only scale up to VR12, but this one is scaling to VR14. I know those 2 vet levels dont make that much of a difference, but wow...I am looking for anything I can get to help me complete the quest.

I also attempted this quest last night on my V7 Dragonknight. I could kill the regular mobs but when you get to a troll that has around 6800 points and health regen thru the roof....well you know how it ended. I don't seen any way to finish this with 1 skill that does 280 dmg and a cry skill the troll is immune to. Has anyone finished it post patch with the scaling? Would love to know how you did it.

I finished it just yesterday.

That being said I am also VR 12 so it was pretty stinkin easy, I just pounced from animal to animal till I found the troll in the back and killed him by running around him attacking the entire time dodging his cone attack.

I didn't even have to use a potion but if people are having it scale up to VR 12 when your char is VR 7 I understand the hardship.

If you have a hard time try to log out 5min and get back until you get the Frost Troll, its probably the easiest way to complete the quest if you can't take down the other opponents.

I went in a few days ago, and the troll was v12. Everything was v12, I never seen any v14 mobs running around. Put more heavy armor on and food buffs, block when he attacks and get the hell outta the way when he does his ground attack. I completed it as a v14 healer in med armor -Shrug-. Not sure why people are struggling with it, perhaps more med armor and heavy armor will help you.
