Werewolf
Werewolf is one of the easiest specs to play, due to it only having one skillbar, its synergy with max health through its main heal and good boosts to damage. However, it has been long neglected for any balance changes and is outperformed by most “normal” classes in ESO.

- Werewolf naturally has a lot of pressure, especially with the Berserker morph, but only mediocre survivability. That’s why this build’s sets will mainly focus on tankiness. Oakensoul, enchantments, traits and mundus will provide the needed damage buffs. The damage can be increased further at a cost of survivability by switching out one of the sets to Stuhn’s Favor or Clever Alchemist.
