So, any ZOS wanna comment about Werewolf?

aco5712 · June 2014

Everyone knows its broken/useless. The section dedicated to Werewolf and vamp in the forums is full of threads about it. Never seen a ZOS employee answer one except to say, im moving this to the right section. Move this one if you want, but all we want is a update to say your doing something about it. Any info. There hasnt been a mention of WW since you got rid of the feeding on the same person bug thing. Lots of great suggestions in the forum section, huge detailed suggestions. I know you have other things to fix but at least you tell the people if your gonna fix that and not just ignore countless numbers of players.

Could you please specificate what you mean by WW? Whirlwind? World War? ...?

aco5712 · June 2014

i edited it, but i thought it was pretty self explanatory when it said vamp and WW section. Like where is the vamp and world war section on these forums? O.O

This thread also appears in the most recent discussions.

Don't take it personal, majority of the things posted here will never get a response. They've already said it needed work a long time ago, evidently they think that sufficient enough for the forum. I doubt well see any meaningful changes to the skill line.

aco5712 · June 2014

if enough people who need to L2P shout nerf they nerf. So i dont see why it cant work the other way around

I never use my WW ultimate. Takes too long to fill up, even after the cost reduction. I also die much quicker in WW form. Not to mention the severe lack of abilities.

Basically, it's just a novelty at this point.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree with you! But I think there are more critical things to focus on right now. This upgrading of the werewolf NEEDS to happen, but they need to fix some of the main mechanical issues facing ESO first.

aco5712 · June 2014

Yes while i do agree with you that there are alot of issues that need to be address. All im really asking for is that they pay it some attention and gives us an update on if they are gonna rework it or are they just gonna let a potential awesome ability go to waste. I more want ZOS to communicate on the matter like they did with NB skills, addressing the vamp issue, DK nerfs (some of which were uncalled for).

Although I risk being burnt at the stake for saying this, Werewolf is very effective IF you know how to use it.

I agree that it would be nice to have some improvements to the skill line and also fix some of the bugs that come along with it, I don't agree that it is completely broken. If you build your character correctly around the werewolf ultimate then you can do some VERY serious damage while in form. The only main problem I see with the design is that you can not break cc, but with that being said, if you block you won't get cc'd in the first place.

Mordria · June 2014

How is Werewolf broken? I don't think it is. They do an Insane amount of damage. My only gripe is that it doesn't last long enough.

aco5712 · June 2014

im more talking about it being viable in pvp. I know it can be used in pve with nice effect but in pvp, where CC is everybody's first move you cant do anything. And yeh the whole 800 ulti for 30 seconds (which can bug out while transforming) is my main concern with it.

V19312 · June 2014

if you want to drop the cost of the ultimate there are a couple of sets that you can find to do that, I believe that the saviors hide set drops it by 33% and there's the dragon claw set that drops ultimate cost in general by 15% they're just not easy to find.

aco5712 · June 2014

yeh but savoiur is a medium armour set which i dont use and i shouldnt have to use those sets to drop WW cost by 50% and still have it cost me 350-400 ulti

V19312 · June 2014

In fact you don't need to use them, it's your choice. If you want to drop the cost then do it, if not then don't use it.

Also on a side note, if you don't like to use medium armor but you're playing a Werewolf character I would love to know what kind of build you are using?

Zheg · June 2014

The WW skill line and overall mechanics have significant problems, but they're compounded by the atrocious balance between magicka and stamina builds, and the poor balance among the armor types (medium and heavy needing some hardcore love) since the main armor set to reduce the insanely high ulti cost is medium only. The WW skill line alone is enough for significant dev work, but when you factor in the other 2 related problems mentioned above, ZOS is pretty much caught with their pants down on this one and I wouldn't expect a real - viable fix any time soon.

Well the char with WW is a DK with 5 heavy 2 light tank. So no sense for me to use medium armour. If they fixed WW i might consider either swapping to medium armour and seeing what i could do, or just make my NB a WW instead of a vamp.

c0rp · June 2014

The fact that you have to save A *** TON of ulti to use it, then you are WEAKER and die FASTER than being your normal self says it all. Its total junk unless it gets a reboot.

V19312 · June 2014

Just because YOU die faster with it doesn't mean it's broken does it? If you don't know how to use the Werewolf ultimate maybe you shouldn't use it.

adam.s.jonesub17_ESO · June 2014

none of the werewolf skills or passives, except generating ultimate with the ultimate slotted, impact you when your not transformed. So basically there is no real class benefit like there is with vamp. You do get the lack of poison resistance all the time though, this should really only impact you when transformed like everything else.

Basically you get the option to occasionally play a melee class with 2 average skills. WW just feels to me as very unfinished like someone just sort of said good enough and moved on.
