Will Salvation, Shapeshifter's Chain, and Pack Leader's Bone Broth be updated in Update 50?

Erickson9610 · March 11

It was revealed on the Dev Updates stream for March that the cost of transforming into a Werewolf will be reduced to 100 Ultimate. How will bonuses which specifically reduce the cost of Werewolf Transformation be changed, if at all?

These are the bonuses that specifically reduce the cost of Werewolf Transformation:

Pack Leader's Bone Broth (drink): 5%
Shapeshifter's Chain (mythic): 15%
Salvation (5 piece medium): 33%

This list does not count other bonuses which reduce the cost of Ultimate abilities, as the focus here is on bonuses designed specifically to reduce the previously massive cost of 400/300 Ultimate for unmorphed/morphed Werewolf Transformation.

Will these bonuses be considered at all when designing the Werewolf combat refresh for Update 50?

In particular, Salvation gives the largest bonus to the cost reduction of the transformation, as that is its primary purpose — are there any plans to change Salvation to complement the new Werewolf?

salvation gives an absolutely MASSIVE 150 wep/spell dmg

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

yeah seriously this set needs to be completely revisited.

should give at least 600.

I hope these get adjusted during update 50 pts. Sets like Kraglen's howl as well should give more ultimate if you're a werewolf.

I absolutely agree they need to buff salvation and Shapeshifter's chain. These two items are based upon the old werewolf timer and ult cost. 15 percent cost reduction will be less value because they're already reducing werewolf abilities cost. Salvation will have less value because of the werewolf ult being 100 cost now.

The biggest issue I see with those set is they are worthless in werewolf form. Werewolf does not generate Ult, so why a Ult bonus?

That's going to change in U50. Your ability to remain in werewolf form will be tied to your ultimate, so generating ulti as a werewolf will be important

I genuinely never knew the salvation set was a thing and im so disappointed. I dont even think this was good on release that's crazy. 150 WPN dmg on a 5 piece. Now a days you get 2/3rds of that just proccing sundered.

I really hope these get adjusted. Werewolf sets should be best in slot for werewolves since its already such a commitment .

I've heard stories that Salvation used to be really good, but it was subsequently nerfed and never touched again.

I do have hope that Salvation will be updated during the Werewolf rework in 2026, like how Vampire Lord was updated during the Vampire rework in 2020. If Salvation nullified the Ultimate drain, I'd use it in overland content.
