Werewolf DPS Build - ESO Guide

• Brutal Pounce - 1st part of this ability is a pounce which deals direct damage in an AoE at your destination and applies Hemorrhaging status effect to all targets. For up to 5 seconds after using the pounce, you can use the 2nd part of this ability which swipes in front of you, dealing no direct damage but applying a 10 second DoT which deals more damage based on missing health. Each enemy hit by the 2nd part of this ability grants you 100 Weapon and Spell Damage for 10 seconds, stacking up to 6 times. You have to keep up this Weapon Damage buff, which is why you'll have to refresh the DoT before it runs out. Try to use the pounce early so you have the swipe ready when your buff is about to run out.
• Hircine's Rage - a self-heal which grants you 3000 Stamina, Major Berserk and increases your damage taken by 5% if used at full health. Major Berserk increases your damage done by 10%. It also passively grants you Major Brutality and Sorcery while slotted.
• Ferocious Roar - an ability which you won't be using, but you have to choose this morph because the other one causes your Heavy Attacks to taunt enemies. It applies the Off Balance and Terrified debuffs to enemies around you and increases the speed of your Heavy Attacks by 33% for 10 seconds. However this is implemented very poorly and will break your animations unless you limit yourself to only Heavy Attacking during that time, which isn't worth it. It also passively grants you Major Savagery and Prophecy, increasing your Critical Chance by 12%.
• Howl of Despair - a spammable which deals 10% more damage to enemies who are Terrified. Terrified can be applied by Ferocious Roar, however it isn't worth keeping up. You could still potentially benefit from another Werewolf using their Roar. It also provides a Feeding Frenzy synergy which grants Empower and Minor Force for 20 seconds, which can be used by yourself. Empower increases the damage of your Heavy Attacks by 70% and Minor Force increases your Critical Damage by 10%.
• Claws of Anguish - AoE attack which deals direct damage and applies a 20 second DoT to all enemies hit. This is your AoE spammable. The initial attack and every tick of the DoT (which ticks every 2 seconds) applies the Diseased status effect.
• Pack Leader - this morph of the Werewolf ultimate summons 2 direwolves to fight at your side. These direwolves count for the Call of the Pack passive, allowing you to keep up your Werewolf transformation if you are the only Werewolf player in your group. This morph also reduces your damage taken by 10% and grants your entire group Minor Courage which is roughly a 4% damage increase, but it can also be applied by supports, or even by DDs using the Banner Bearer.

Skills that can replace skills from the base setup in specific situations

• Werewolf Berserker - this is the morph you should be using when playing with other Werewolf players, who will count for your Call of the Pack passive. This morph causes your Light Attacks to apply a bleed and causes your Heavy Attacks to deal damage in an AoE

Priority List

This is just a list of priorities. Simply recast abilities when they run out and follow this list of priorities when there are multiple things to refresh

• 1. Keep up the Weapon Damage from Brutal Pounce. You can use the pounce (1st part of the ability) when there's around 5 seconds left on the buff so that you have the swipe (2nd part of the ability) ready to go when the buff is about to expire
• 2. Hircine's Rage
• 3. Claws of Anguish
• 4. Howl of Despair spammable

Pre-buff

These abilities can be pre-cast before entering combat

• Hircine's Rage

Other tips

• In AoE fights, spam Claws of Anguish instead of Howl of Despair. In long AoE fights, you still have to cast it once every 20 seconds to get the Feeding Frenzy synergy, or more than once if someone steals the synergy from you.
• Thanks to the Empower buff from Howl of Despair, Heavy Attacking during the Off Balance debuff isn't that big of a DPS loss, which is why you should sprinkle in a few Heavy Attacks if your rotation allows it, as it restores a lot of Stamina. For example, during the 130k parse on the dummy which took 2 minutes and 41 seconds I have Heavy Attacked twice.
