Werewolves are fun

Not saying they couldn't do with more patch love but werewolves are pretty cool now. But just giving my vote of confidence to the werewolves!

I have a nightblade stamina dps build.
Bar1: reaper's mark, ambush, power extraction, steel tornado, siphoning attacks.
Bar2: reaper's mark, focused aim, venom arrow, magnum shot, funnel health.

First bar is aoe dps. Second bar is single target dps.

The werewolf ultimate (which only needs 400 or less ultimate now, maybe more like 200 ish with a salvation set) adds more health and stamina, a fear on transform, a pounce, a knockdown, an aoe fear and off balance, an on demand self heal and hot, and a cone poison/self hot (and I believe stamina fills to full on transform?), and can run almost indefinitely if you work at it. The light attacks are very strong and have a dot on them, the heavy is a cone attack that can restore your stamina.

This adds a lot of flexibility to my otherwise single minded dps build. it makes the game more fun. Sure I could use the shadow line fear but that takes up an ability slot. The only problem is that lately I prefer staying in wolf form and humanoid form feels weak.

But being a redguard nightblade medium armor build the added stamina regen brings my stamina regen above 1000 at level 40ish and also can have extra ultimate gain when being hit. When you stop comparing against vampires, werewolves have a lot of advantages.

    It sounds like fun. Thank you for giving more info. Now I just need to get bitten.

    The timer really changes your play style however. You can run through an entire dungeon as a werewolf but you won't be meticulously searching every crate and bag and you will be rushing through conversations lest you waste your precious werewolf time.

    That does sound like a lot of fun. If I were to get bitten, I'd definitely pick werewolf.

    The timer is still too short. It annoys all my friends that I have to stop and eat every kill and then have to rush past them to get to the next mob. It's so much work to stay in form that it takes all the fun out of it.

    If the timer was increased werewolves would be OP and their damage would get nerfed. They wouldn't be fun to play anymore.

    I reserve my werewolf for those sections of dungeons I just can't seem to get though. If I keep dying, I pull out wolfie and plow right through.

    The werewolf form is also a lot about time management and that's what makes it fun. It's like a mini-game. How long can I keep this up before I turn back?

    I agree that I (would) enjoy the mini game, however they have made strides in the right direction but I don't feel like it's there yet. The timer is still too short. If an additional 15 seconds were added to it and an additional 10 seconds every time you feed was gained, I could live with that. It would make it much more fun.
