Werewolf Build.... 3 bars? Confused.

chaz · December 2018

Hello everyone. Thanks for stopping in, so I made this new character a while ago and was confused about the active ability bars. So, I use a front bar for my resource until my Werewolf Untilmate is ready, however I placed all my werewolf abilities on the back bar.

Well, new toon as mentioned, during it's level up I've obtained or acquired at some point a couple of respec scrolls for attributes and skills. When I did this, I am now just noticing the different discriptions of the ability bars. See image:

So that said, is it possible to run a front and back bar, and yet keep werewolf on a 3rd hidden bar that I should have been using all along. Like I screwed myself in this build, or, ""Notice the OR"", if once I slot skills, and turn to a werewolf, the back bar is messed up and all abilities I placed are overwritten with the werewolf skills?

I know, I know. 4 years of playing and I'm now just getting a chance to use a werewolf. Never had one before and I was curious. I always did straight, or went Vamp.

Thanks for the input.

Also, yes forgive me but I am still struggling with lag and ping, so while I'm still trying to play, I like to figure out this type of build so I don't miss out.

The 3rd bar is there just so you can put your ww skills where you want them when you Change into a werewolf. It used to be that you had to be in. Ww form to move your ww skills around. But they made it easier since the werewolf dlc.

So there is a 3rd bar?

I have so been playing this build all wrong. I placed all my ww skills on the normal backbar. Which in turn, left me with a 1 bar DK waiting to buff up with WW virus.

Yes, when you transform into WW you get a third bar of sorts. the WW bar replaces your other 2 bars. So in WW form you only have one bar, you don't have access to the skills on your other bars.

as cbro stated, until recently you literally had to be in WW form to even see that bar to change skills, move them around, etc. They now show you that bar outside of WW form as well...but it's not useable unless you are in WW form. This is only to allow you to change skills w/o having to waste ultimate just to get the bar to show up.

Nice, Like I said. Been using this build set up all wrong. Tomorrow I'll look into fixing it. I was really unaware. Also , I did get this set up confused with that bug going around zos said was fixed, and mistakenly thought when I placed the skills on bar then they disappeared, thought it was a bug. This time around, took the time to pay attention to detail.

You will have a “Main hand” and “Main hand Backup” and, when transforming into a Werewolf through the Ultimate, you get a third bar which is reserved only for werewolf abilities, the best place for sorting werewolf abilities “in form” is to do so at a Werewolf shrine in bangkorai, reapers March or the rift respectively. Or, if you bought it previously, The Hunters Glade notable home which allows werewolf form to be maintained indefinitely which is great for testing WW Damage parses on training dummies and vice versa.

Werewolf notes:

They are Stamina Only, so Max Stamina and Weapon Damage is advised.
The Bloodmoon set does wonders for WW light attacks as the light attacks themselves always proc’s the first little bit of bleed damage.

Here comes the removal of WW to homogenize the amount of ability bars people have... IE overload.

Well I was able to finally utilize a normal front and back bar today, then was certainly surprised my werewolf skills bar did actually replace primes and secondaries. So, @Alpha-Lupi , you say blood moon compliments this build good huh. Well I will look into it, however, being a pretty good solid player, it is difficult sometimes to run March of Sacrifices with others that rage quit because they struggle. So farming pieces will be challenging, and I love a good challenge. Well, that dungeon isn't as bad as moon hunter keep rage quitters. I mean, what is it with these DLC dungeons and people rage quitting ? Lulz!

If anything, I will check it out
