A mostly Min/Maxed WW on Live:
vs. PTS (4.0.3):
The bleed stays about the same.
Assuming this is working as intended, how will this impact your builds, for those of you that use WW.
Has been Buffed (patch notes) by 50% as of 4.0.4
Has been buffed to the higher damage state it has previously been at. However, now there is less of a difference between choosing stamina or Weapon Damage in terms of having High Light Attack Damage.

Originally a Thread concerning the WW Light Attack. It has morphed into a general WW Thread since the 4.0.4 patch.

✭✭✭✭That’s a bug, report it. Light attacks were only supposed to receive a 20% nerf in the damage calculations.
They broke something.2 -

✭@Minalan
I have, but unfortunately I don't think it is a bug.
"Fixed an issue where Werewolf and Unarmed Light and Heavy Attack scaling ratios were not adjusted to match normal ability scaling ratios."
WW LA had increased scaling with WD compared to other light attacks. Now it has been homogenized to be like every other weapon attack scaling. (Much like how 2H LA was nerfed)
This change falls in line with that statement.
Unless, of course, whoever changed the code literally just copy/pasted from the DW code (removing the increased WD scaling). In which case, this was an oversight.

I'm pretty sure they broke something with that.
I'll do some test later if I can, I have some ideas about what can be broken.3 -

I'm fairly certain they overwrote the additional Weapon Damage Scaling that WW Light Attacks had.Edited by Avran_Sylt on April 30, 2018 8:29PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Ok i've run some quick math to know where such a change would get us with our LA/HA damage ...
... and it's seems maybe too big of a change for them to only change the ratio, they would probably tune down the coef too because a 42% increase (value for my example werewolf build, it would be around 100% for a petsorc build ...) would have a very big impact on the overall game balance.
Aznox posted this in the WW-theorycrafting thread. I thought I´d post this here if it would help.2 -

That's the most probable issue indeed.
Other are some source of weapon damage or stamina aren't taken in account, or a mess with CP, passives and other bonuses.1 -

Kenna, Elegance, and WD weapon enchant all properly effect the WW LA. Haven't tested CP though. Player Stamina is also considered at the new 10.5 ratio (seems to be). Also appears to properly interact with CP%Edited by Avran_Sylt on April 30, 2018 8:37PM0 -

Aznox✭✭✭✭✭They probably broke something by mistake.
First they changed LA/HA scaling ratio so that Max resource counts for as much as weapon/spell damage.
They probably did this to get rid of the "special case" that LA/HA scaling was. (i though it added depth to theorycafting but ... whatever)
But - as predicted- the general increase of LA/HA damage was too much (+30/+100% depending on classes/specs, not counting empower being moved to light attacks), so they did a general -20% today to keep things reasonable.
So far nothing werewolf specific.
Following @Avran_Sylt bug reportAvran_Sylt wrote: »WW Light Attacks have not been scaled to the new Stamina ratio.
Live:PTS:
they tried to port the new ratio to werewolf LA/HA, nothing more nothing less, according to the wording :Fixed an issue where Werewolf and Unarmed Light and Heavy Attack scaling ratios were not adjusted to match normal ability scaling ratios.
And there, something went wrong, because the result for werewolf should be the same as for everyone : somewhere between 10-30% buff to LA after all changes calculated. (except magicka stacking setup that get a much bigger boost compared to live)
At this point i would not worry too much, ZoS showed by acting on Werewolf LA/HA (even if late) that they saw our bug reports. They still have time to fix this before Summerset goes live.
As for OP's question, if Summerset was to go live with 50% nerf on werewolf LA, well we would only see a the amount of competitive players using werewolf in PvP go from 1% to 0,5% ...
(PvE is already at 0%, no harm here)

Aznox✭✭✭✭✭Also @Avran_Sylt i would like to thank you for the time you spend doing testing and reporting for werewolf, i play on EU and i don't have the courage to spend hours recreating my live build on the PTS with the exactitude needed to perform those tests ...

So, after some test I can confirm that. On a totally naked character (no cp, equipment, passives and only enough attribute outside of WW form to match the 0 attribute stamina of the WW form (10345 stamina in WW, tried 10289 and 10400 stam outside of WW), the damage of the light attack are exactly the same.
When I used a single handed gold weapon with no enchant 1335 (weapon damage in and out WW), the result were coherent with this conclusion.
For the actual numbers(non crit-crit) :
Bare fistHumain, 10289 (10400) stamina :
Light : 295-443 (299-448)
Heavy : 459-689 (464-697)
Werewolf, 10345 stamina :
Light : 297-445
Heavy : 475-712 + 237-356 cleave damage
One handedHumain, 10289 (10400) stamina :
Light : 697-1046 (701-1051)
Heavy : 1085-1628 (1090-1636)

What the heck happened? WW basically neutered to NO DAMAGE BONUS at all? I know they have the passive Savage Strength for (2/2) 18% more Weapon Damage. More testing is needed with this passive on and off....
Of course if neutered in damage we might as well have Werewolf made a permanent Vanity Crown store morph, oh wait.... it might already be there if this proves true and goes live...
It's already so niche as is and the wide gulf of usefulness compared to the powerful Vamp passives as is. Again I gotta log into PTS...0 -

✭Bare in mind that Unchained is broken for WW since almost a year , Pack leader is broken since day 1 so they will probably let that go too .
The only purpose that WW will serve in PvP is for Tanking/CC and AoE defile builds .

No personal offence ofc but the changes made are disliked by 90% of the community, ALL. THE. TIME.
