Idea for making werewolf more viable for pvp

Transformed werewolves are unstoppable savage killing machines that everyone fears and runs from... right?

Not really. A WW can be dealt with just as easy as any ordinary enemy - CC him, then burn him down. If anything, he is even easier to kill since he loses access to all skills except WW skills while transformed. That means no bolting away, no vanishing into stealth, no shielding himself, heck, he even has no ultimate to use at all!(unless he just wants to revert back to human form, which does make him more powerful, to be perfectly honest :p )

One simple idea that would make the WW more dangerous, more popular, and go with the theme of an unstoppable savage beast: Give him the boss immunity while he is transformed. That means any crowd control fails to affect him (the attacker will get the 'this target is too powerful for that effect' error message)

What do you think?

    Who ever is in charge of the WW ultimate (sure as hell ain't a skill line) should be fired.

    I like it! Kinda... I agree normal cc effects should not work on werewolf but feel that fighters guild abilities should still work as designed. Damage mitigation and damage increase should be added as well if they are keeping it a 23 skillpoint ultimate, even though almost every single werewolf wants it closer to a toggle skill line.

    Yes buff me more please ;) Standing in front of a WW is like standing in front of a train. I'm going to kill you then eat you for having the nerve to stand there.

    As standing in front of any ultimate should be...

    If they do this the timer will most likely be reduced even more. Probably to around 12 seconds like some other Ultimate's.

    Yes that's a reasonable compromise - abilities specially designed against WW should always affect them.

    I think this is an excellent idea, and should be applied to both PvP and PvE

    I have to politely disagree with you. Due to CC, interrupts etc, transforming into a werewolf during PvP is, in my opinion, a mistake. Anytime I've managed to spot a transformed werewolf, I've been able to kill him/her within seconds due to their lack of ability to escape CC. I've yet to have a werewolf kill me (and that's not because I'm some great pvper - I very skilled at dieing).

    Everyone else has a couple or three options to deal with CC, werewolves only have stamina expending 'break' and since all of their abilities are fairly expensive stamina spenders, having the points to break that CC can be a real issue.

    The "unstoppable savage killing machines" are easy targets in PvP, which is in stark contrast to their vampire counterparts.

    Hopefully the PvE design can be adjusted to work in PvP. I think CC immunity of some sort would work. Perhaps even adding a short term it to the one werewolf magicaka spending heal skill?

    A supposed buff for 30 sec, 22 skillpoints, 300 ultimate, loss of all my other skills, every archer out there hitting like a train and all the fighters guild skills
    i better be almost insta-kill you for that cost....
