As a player who uses a WW in game I can tell you that it does not have godlike range.

A quick glance at terrain, especially if you have ever ganked, gives you a 50-75% accurate guess on enemy location choice.. Lots of good sorcs will drop their aoes in that spot without any form of detect required. Or pop their bird.

People do people things.

A sorc is going be not far off their streak range.
A ganker is already behind you.
A warden is straight line shalks range -not behind the tree.
An experienced ganker is in a totally open area weighing up their choices.
A new player is hard up against the nearest tree or wall, defensive.
If you've played awhile, you know that X player likes to drop from above, or likes the box in Ash wall etc. It's not magic WW nose abilities at play.

A WW has a short detect window. Then it goes where you're likely to be. Then it tries detect again. It does NOT see you from Narnia.

Correct, above I proved that it is the exact same range as a detect pot (same as camo hunter on PTS I might add), consumes a GCD, and takes 5000 stam (just like camo hunter).

It’s pretty hilarious in fact that the detect range for cloak specifically (the only ‘stealth’ that has a true and real cost of any kind for a ganker) is a measly 20 min.

We have a group buff in PvE so we can be useful there and we have our ‘sniffer’ to be useful for NBs in PvE.

As meta changes, you’ll see less werewolves and additionally, maintaining the detect will come out significant loss for any ‘properly built wolf’ (high health, uniquely low stam bar) post any kind of sustain nerfs especially (please ZOS just remove the masteries in PvP).

Please just let us have at least 1 thing we’re useful for in both mediums of content for when they are finished nerfing us by 2031 .
