✭✭✭✭✭So, yesterday I was playing vamp. And it was awesome. Took me a bit longer to reach rank 6 for blood ritual (to bite others), but I'm pretty impressed. I took my wolf out for one last run, but yeah, the benefits of vampire are just too great unfortunately. I have champ points, breton passives and annulment to soak up spells, so fire damage wasn't too much of an issue. The weakness is getting lowered even more after patch, so it definitely won't be a problem and I hear drain essence is getting a boost so you can use it on an enemy more than once. I'm down for that.

✭✭✭The biggest issue with werewolves is their identity crisis.
Ultimates in elder scrolls online short term boosts to damage, healing, or survivability. Let's keep this in mind!
So let's ask some questions for someone looking to become a werewolf!
Q: When can I use my Werewolf transformation?
A: You must muster up 300 Ultimate, or a perfect ultimate generation of 100 seconds
Q: Cool, I bet with a high Ultimate cost like that it has to be quite a powerful Ultimate right?
A: ... wel no... you basically get access to 5 new skills that do on par damage to what you did before.
Q: So im guessing werewolves become an unstoppable forces then huh?
A: Well with the upcoming patch we gain 10000 armor and spell resistance while transforming, roughly 15% extra damage mitigation, also 15% stam regen for slotting the ultimate!
Q: I guess that makes you a little tankier... but how else does becoming a werewolf help you with survivability?
A: Well you take 25% increase poison damage and 9% more damage from players with fighters guild unlocked (every veteran level player), as well as increased damage from fighters guild abilities. So people stacking armor or spell pen won't even notice you new improved werewolf hide.
Q: ...?
A: Oh did I mention the one skill you have that is supposed to help with your survivability is a heal that scales off of your lowest stat which is Magicka? Also with the changes to roll dodging and blocking you can cross those off of the list for viable forms of survival.
Q: So sustain in werewolf form must be crazy good!?
A: no, not really, remember that 300 Ultimate you paid to activate werewolf? All that did was gave you access to the werewolf skills, these skills and abilities still cost stamina and magicka, and actually are some of the most expensive abilities in the game, that will drain you of resources faster then you can blink an eye especially the heal!
Q: So really the werewolf it doesn't increase Healing, Damage, or survivability, and actually loweres these in some cases?
A: Yes
Q: So because of its long duration I should be able to build up enough ultimate to transform again or at least have a nice little nest egg built up to use on something elselse right?
A: actually no you don't build up ultimate in werewolf form
Q: you must get some cool passives though! Please!
A: actually you loose any class passive that require slotting of class skills, and also all weapon passives as well, and most of the passives and skills are focused on staying in werewolf form longer. One passive devour makestill you drop your guard for 3 seconds in order to add on about 15 seconds, don't worry it heals your for about 4,000.
Q: Wow sounds like werewolfs are pretty bad... who is looking over this skill line from ZOS?
A: nobody really, they actually think it's pretty solid... hahahahhaa
Couldn't say it better myself.0
