Fun Tank werewolf build

BloodStorm · March 2019

Been running level 50 battlegrounds with " Sterk Gray-Mane " my Nord Werewolf from whiterun roleplay and basically the build is 60k health with 40k resists as Nord sorcerer. Basically unkillable with that 65% heal and tri stat can spam. Usually get like 9 kills and 0 deaths or maybe a couple on occasion if a whole team can focus and CC just to right on occasion. The CC though of werewolf and major defile wrecks. If you want the easiest brainless build then this is it. Its actually battleground viable mostly unlike my crappy vampire build as far as damage goes. Werewolf tanking is just insane and the fact you still can do damage is nice.
People love to scream noob build but for how easy it is it outshines vampire by far as PVP tank while still being able to dps

. Been using reduced weapon damage encant / defending trait on staff / Sword/shield and pure health everything / infused / Divines. Even vs poison builds they stand no chance for the most part or can't kill you. Never playing anything else again besides werewolf pure health/ resists tank unless Bone Colossus is good. Werewolf utility for a single bar is just insane and makes the game fun but incredibly easy PVP and PVE while still being enjoyable. Plague doctor, warrior poet and shadowrend set for 3 pets with pack leader morph and minor maim. Mighty chudan better 1 vs X assume. Good build for new players I think.

I know thos builds... I was playing around with a med stamsorc setup with 20k res... My vigor +critsurge out healed the damage of 3 tankwolves +6pets

all 50k hp btw... No I wasn't blocking...
you'd have to catch a person afk or with literally no self heal whatsoever slotted & not moving to kill him with that m8 sorry to break it to you... Sure you can tank 10+ players with that. You still can't kill anything by yourself.
facepalm
Someone remind me about the point of a tank in pvp? I mean apart from trolling people Utility wise is there anything a good healer setup or a mag dk/warden can't do?

If I see anyone with 50k+ hp it's like "oh good I can recharge my ultimate and fill up my resources" in pvp I'll be honest. The last thing on my mind is to waste resources on you. I'll use you to charge up my resources...

Try Dreugh King Slayer so you can take the better heal without losing MB, and Deadly Strike for +14% to ww bleed and Infectious Claws. And 14% to Kraghs set.

In CP areas ya, but in battlegrounds I can kill most people unless another tank. But ya in dueling it's mostly neverending but depends. If CP was removed werewolf would even more dominate unless they change it.

In CP Cyrodiil or dueling sure but in battlegrounds there is no CP and a werewolf tank will kill you unless you are basically another tank or gang up on them. Without CP the werewolf dominates because the buffs are too strong. CP is literally the reason other players can compete vs werewolf. 30% more stamina, 18% more wep damage, and 10k more resists is basically CP in a sense so the other classes if they aren't werewolf in non-CP have a decent disadvantage. In non CP nothing is stronger and only another good tank can make it a neverending draw. Tested many times. CP couldn't be removed right now or ever unless they reduce werewolf passives/ ult passives

They get more wd yes... But if your basic wd is not existant that doesn't matter. As for no cp it's infested with proc sets and premades. I think we have bigger problems there... They also get more Stam yes. But that doesn't help if your base stamina is below 20k.
Im sticking to my statement that your highly exaggerating. I've seen those tank wolves and the damage was hileriousl low.
I usually ignore them and guess what? They can't do anything that would make me want to focus them.

Also why on earth would I Duell a tank? I have better things to do then waste my time on that.

If you can show me a werewolf in a BG thats.......:

* High MMR bracker against competent pre-mades
* Isn´t abusing the bug from pre-wrathstone where bleeds would proc enchants (and pairing it with Torug´s Pact + oblivion enchants). Aka no pre-wrathstone footage.
* No shieldbreaker
* No Knightslayer

.....I´ll agree that you´ve a point. But most of the rage posts I see about tanky werewolfs in battlegrounds all have a few things in common: They´ve multiple sources of oblivion damage in their deathrecaps. A 40k+ HP werewolf in no-cp can´t kill anything on its own without oblivion damage (unless they ones they´re fighting are more or less cluless about PvP in general).

Yep, agreed show me a video like that and I'll believe you. Atm I don't believe that tank wolves who's bleeds tick for 183/second(for example) in pvp suddenly have 10x more damage in no cp(and that btw was in medium armor. Tanky af but 0 damage is my opinion on tank wolves.

This is beginner build , good defense but bad offense .

If you run this build in CP Cyrodiil ... good luck ...

20k + Lethal Arrow in one shot ~

WW does not that strong you think even in no CP , all experienced players know how to deal with them .

Which is whole team focus them if tanks. So ya with well organized play with mics sure, but often if you play smart as well usually only 2-focus you it's decent beginner build like people say. Though 4 full tank plsyer werewolfs will destroy 4 dps if they all target one quikly but same applies other way around so that's balaced. A proper tank can't die vs DPS 1 vs 1 both fully geared or even 1 vs 2 sometimes on less geared or depends just what you are facing. I've had matches in Cyrodiil where neither can kill each other and we just run off separate ways but it's still a draw

. Safe playstyle and also usually besides dueling people don't run around solo ganking as much or if they do it still balances out as you both need another partner to kill eachother. Maybe even equipping Zaans or a set that has a stun for more CC can be better. Lots of monster sets that help aid allies. People don't expect a Werewolf tank much so they often try spamming you down for a couple second but thats enough for your team to take advantage. I agree it's not ideal for people who want serious damage but a easy build for people bad at PVP and just want to live long enough to do something. I think it's good for beginners but also Veterans who know how to use it. Also good poisons on tank werewolf are nice as it's 3 dots now they have if one chooses to lose weapon enchant. I often use poisons for the damage / adds bit more pressure and so on
