Idea: Werewolf Bleeding PVP Build for Summerset

EdgarMoose · May 2018

Greetings!
I need your help with an idea. But first of all I want to say sorry for my primary school english. It's for a long time I didn't need it anymore.

Well, with the changes of the next patch I want to play my Stamblade in heavy armor as a werewolf in PVP (duels, small groups, BG). The goal is to combine resitance because of beeing focused as a werewolf, burst and damage over time.

The first thing I want to know is, is it possible to stack bleeding damage from several sources on the same enemy? I ask because we have
- the LA from werewolf
- the passives from an axe
- the set Pillars of Nirn

If these DoTs stack, combined with Infecious Claws it would result in high pressure on shields or tanky enemies.

My idea is to play my loved bosmer for poison/disease resitance. Sets could be
- double Kena or Lord Warden and Mighty Chudan for higher resitances
- 5 pieces Hundings (heavy)
- 5 pieces Pillars of Nirn or Blooddrinker

What do you think? Could this work? What could be improved? Which difficulties have I forgot?

Thanks for your help :-)

Weapon Passives do not carry over to WW form. So no Axe Bleed.

WW LA Bleed does not stack, but refreshes the duration and applies one 0-tick per LA.

Blooddrinker is a nice set, but you´ll be better of using automaton since it will buff other skills as well.

One thing to remember is that no weapon-passives are active in werewolf form. So the twin-blade and blunt bleed from axes can´t proc while you´re in WW-form.

This set can´t crit, while other sources of bleed can. So not too appealing in my opinion.

I would go with
5 Shackle
5 automaton
2 Trollking

What about
- 5 Fortified Brass (medium armor for bigger regeneration, WP damage passive and resitances). I think, I don't want to be too squishy next patch.
- 2 Troll King for decent healing is really a nice idea.

I'm looking for a good damage set. Maybe Hundings because I hate farming things... Salvation would be nice for the ulti. Shackle would be nice for mag recovery. But with these sets the damage would be pretty low, right? Or could this work in werewolf form?

Shacklebreaker will boost both damage and healing for a combined total than no other set can achieve in werewolf.

Troll King gives sustained healing that lacks in werewolf (low magicka recovery)

Automaton boost all werewolf damage (except the Claws small poison dot part) without any proc condition (100% uptime) and without it's main downside of not boosting vigor in human form. Unlike Shacklebreaker there are other weapon damage sets that can compete for this slot though (Seven Legion, Truth, etc..).

Heavy armor is overall better than medium for werewolf because :
- heavy attacking off-balance opponents can be enough for stamina sustain
- weapon critical does not boost your healing
- magicka regen from constitution helps you healing
- you need the resistance / healing boost / Health regen boost
- i think there is still a bug where dodge cost reduction does not work in werewolf
- etc...

But if you are really interested, plz check the thread linked by Qbiken, especially the last pages where new summerset combos like shacklebreaker/pelinal are discussed.
