Werewolf
Werewolf has the strongest burst potential of all setups. However, most people do not correctly utilize Werewolf and end up dead on the ground. I will list the most important information regarding when and how you should use Werewolf, because that is where most people actually make mistakes.
You can also find a very detailed Werewolf Guide here. All basics and advanced mechanics and more are explained there.
Burst
Werewolf Form should be used for Burst Damage only. For example, if you have a very tanky or almost unkillable target, it’s time to swap to Werewolf with all your human buffs pre-applied and then pull off the right combo and the enemy will most likely not be able to withstand your damage. Once that’s done, do not stay too long in Werewolf Form, people will start focusing you and you also lose all your buffs from the human form.
Buffing
Always buff yourself up before you transform into a Werewolf. Most players stay too long in Werewolf Form and as a result, lose all the buffs they pre-applied in human form. Make sure not to stay too long in Werewolf Form, because once your buffs, especially Critical Surge, fall off, you will get weaker in terms of survivability.
Combos
Werewolf is strong because you can pull off insane combos. You have Light Attacks that apply bleeds, Claw of Life that applies a DoT and an infection that both deal damage and Claw of Life also heals you at the same time. Your Light Attacks are your main damage source, once you apply Claw of Life keep pressuring him with light attacks. Then when he drops low or you see that you have an opportunity, fear him with Deafening Roar, use Howl of Agony and keep the light attack spam up. That should kill most enemies, if not rinse and repeat.
Resource Management
We have already built in sustain with Artaeum Food and one stamina Recovery glyph. In human form Dark Deal is your best friend, you can transfer magicka into stamina. Heavy attacks are also always very powerful, especially in Werewolf because they restore extra resources from the Revitalize and Pursuit passive.
In addition, use your potions whenever you drop low on stamina or health, it can be a huge boost to your stats. But heavy attacks are definitely the number one sustain tool on this build.
- Artaeum Food (or Dubious)
- Stamina Recovery
- Dark Deal
- Heavy Attacks
- Potions
Battlegrounds
For Battlegrounds we are changing our jewelry glyphs to focus more on sustain.
