Werewolf vs Vampire

Deheart · March 2017

I have a WW char, and a Vampire char. After leveling up full the WW and Vamp skillines on each char, I just don't get why people like WW. It's probably my play style but I can't seem to get the ultimate filled up fast enough to make it worth spending points on. Even with the armor sets that reduce the cost of ultimate for ww or gain ultimate faster.

How do you all who enjoy WW play?

When WW used to have stamina regen as always on passive, I felt it was worth going WW with some chars.

Now that it is on slotting ultimate only, I find WW completely useless. Please note I am not saying fun or enjoyable - it could very well be. Lots of things that aren't the most efficient or best can be enjoyable.

But from a practical vamp v WW benefits point of view, I find the always-on vampire benefit of 10% to both mag and stam to far outweigh a 15% to stam only if ulti is slotted choice. The additional fire dmg just isn't an issue enough to warrant not being a vampire.

Personally, if I ever drop vamps from all my chars, it will be due to how fugly it looks in terms of all race, all char designs blending into one homogenous pasty look. From a pure benefits enjoyment point of view, I can totally see players choosing WW. From a benefits pov, WW got bit over nerfed with the stamina change and Vamps got over buffed with the reduction in flame damage.

Well IMO both needs work.

Vamps and WWs should both have passive buffs, without having debuffs to counter those. I'm not saying trash the current buffs, but they could be 5% stronger or more resistance to certain things.
They should have more content revolving around them, I mean you do one little quest and boom you're a changeling. Now run along and have fun dearest. Where is the 10-hour gameplay where you have to help a vamp-guild defeat hunters?
They should have WW and Vamp motifs. WW and Vamp styled gear would be amazeballs.
The general public should realise you're a vamp if you haven't fed in a while and should treat you like the sickly like they did in Skyrim. Also attack or hide from WW's if they change in a public space.

[TL;DR] It shouldn't just be about what passives are better. There should be more content revolving around being either as to add more immersive gameplay.

4 werewolf runs through vet dungeons. Man nothing is funnier. And PvP whew dah burst. Just non stop Carnage. And VMA holy Batman that's fun as all heck, things just straight melt in vma.

However they really should add some benefits for when you are in human form. Just add the Regen back in, and make it 15% stamina and health Regen. Badoomtish!

I assume you mean add it in "with ultimate slotted" right? Because otherwise we will just go back to everyone being a werewolf and never once using any ability because "free no consequence buff"

I think werewolf is more of a flavour and fun thing people have rather than a mechanical benefit. If they made it too beneficial we just get what we have with Vampire where builds are just better if you are one and "mortal" players are pointless to play in min/max.

Take a look at this WW build and say ww is not worth it.
