While I do think it would be nice to have a shorter cast time, their is a benefit to having a cast time.
Cast time abilities also set off your global cool down, this means you don't have to wait for the GCD to fire off a follow up ability aka howl of agony.
Removing the cast time would make it a lot harder to land the fear to howl combo. As the feared target would have more time to break free.
Personally I think just the removal of the self snare while fearing would be more beneficial to the werewolf.
On the flip side I do know where you are coming from as the fear feels like starting a lawnmower.

It's just the severe costs of its skills, and lack of utility while transformed keep it from being a go to ultimate outside of certain try hards in second tier casual PVP guilds. Like that one AD 'zerg' guild.-.-

Keep Khajiit/Schizophrenic/3rd-person talk out of serious forum topics.
Thank you
One thing we've discussed in the pack is making salvation also reduce WW skill cost in addition to making it give a weapon/spell damage bonus for the fifth piece bonus.. This would then give a dedicate werewolf build reason to run it. AS of right now it's pretty useless as that ult cost reduction really doesn't do anything. It's better to run a different set if you want faster ultimates.
Is there a set that would make me gain enough ultimate for transformation faster than Salvation? The closest i have found is werewolf hide, and that gives 1 ult/second. Other sets like shalk are not relevant to me since i'm using heroic slash for my minor heroism.
Salvation basically "gives" you instantly 99 ultimate as soon as you revert from WW form into human form. To get that amount from Werewolf hide would take 99 seconds of fighting. Am i missing something?
[edit] Hmm, tava's favor maybe. That's 33 seconds of fighting, assuming you dodge one attack every 3 seconds at least. I'll need to test how long it takes me to charge 201 ult from zero, but i suspect i will still prefer "safe" 99 ult in that time rather than "maybe" slightly more, esp. when you count in the weapon damage bonus of salvation.

Not for werewolf no. But then in cyrodiil one should not rely solely on one ultimate unless you're part of a more organized group. Thus that set would be for getting something like Incap.strike or take flight up after a long fight has left you WWless, and you need burst now.
However Telel must again reiterate that they do not think it wise to waste slots on ultimate gen for running werewolf. It's much better to go with sets that increase performance while transformed. Ravager, 7th legion, Bone pirate, Hulking Draugr, etc.
