Werewolf - constantly dying

Post » Fri May 18, 2012 1:44 am

I am not seeing the appeal of being a werewolf (other than werewolves being awesome) during battle. Whenever I go into beast form, enemies completely own me due to not being able to drink potions. In a group battle situation, I might be able to take out a couple foes, but then I'll die when I'm trying to feed / reheal. In a boss battle type situation, I'll get them down to usually half health before I die first. I can take out lesser enemies 1v1 no problem, but what's the point when I can do that in regular form just as easily, plus loot their stuff?

Am I missing something? How do I make myself more endurable? I'm playing on Expert, but that shouldn't be that big of a deal. What are you guys doing that is making beast form "so strong" ??

I have same question. I'm dying all the time. And you should be able to change back into human not have to wait for the duration to kick. tthat is annoying too. I'll use the form to run quickly to a location than i'll have to hide to wait for myself to return to normal. very irritating,

I find the werewolf form most useful for assassination contracts in none hostile locations and taking on lower level enemies. When I am seriously outnumbered or fighting something stronger, I resort to the werewolves fear power.

Another great thing is the amount of distance you can travel in a short time due to the incredible amount of speed and fatigue you posses while in beast form.

But you are right, I do think they deserve more advantages then they are given. Not being able to heal does not sound that bad considering you can feed on corpses, but this creates the problem of not being able to defend yourself while doing so, same with transforming while in a fight. A werewolf is also less durable then Id like, I get killed more often then not when fighting higher level enemies.

I havnt had any probelms with being a werewolf. Dont shape shift while in battle, make sure you do it before. Simple as that. Waiting for the effect to ware off? Just wait for an hour.

If they added anything else to werewolves, they would be way overpowered.
