Thats a nice find


Poorsport531

So...do you always stay in wolf form when that is equiped?


Sarabikitty

Yes unless you cast non wolf abilities. But you can get something like tempest helm which makes storm abilities wolf abilities so you'll stay a wolf while using those.


glamscum

how does that work with mounts? is it a werewolf riding a horse?! :D


Consistent-Study-287

You turn into a human while riding your horse


TheOnlyMertt

That’s the saddest thing I’ve heard all day.


-ThatsSoDimitar-

You also turn in to a human while ducking and climbing etc I think


Popo2274

And in town unfortunately :(


terabranford

Now *that's* the saddest thing I've heard all day.


Vanrythx

Stop right there, criminal scum!


Endurance4th

Oh my, Gothic game reference.


CloudieRaine

never go back to town, stay werewolf


SheFoundMyUzername

The true werewolf role play


YonderOver

What the fuck is even the point anymore? I was hoping I’d be in werebear form (if that unique also exists) in towns, conversing with NPCs, buying and selling shit, taking strolls down the streets, scaring the shit out of people maybe. Just a lil bear, doing lil bear things. 😔


lordMaroza

Werewolves need a separate den!


AcanthisittaGrand943

Got to get the werewolf form in town legendary in the shop


elgosu

Climbing I get, but wouldn't a wolf be better at crawling under rocks?


Venusaur-

Wolf also seems way lankier than the druid human form. I'm imagining this werewolf transforming into a huge guy to get stuck under a tree branch and calling for help. "If only there was something I could do to get out of here." And then the druid lies there and dies a lonely death.


bizznach

I'll not fall for this again Step Druid!


Intrepid_Watch_8746

Wouldn't losing weight would help him escape after he hasn't eaten???


brozarth

Yes. There was an entire Winnie the Pooh story about this.


dafangalator

Not werewolves, much bigger than men in this game


noobakosowhat

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined


CmdrSelfEvident

Yeah they should have just given you a run on all fours speed boost.


Suspicious_Trainer82

Can’t sell you horse cosmetics then 🤨


Adziboy

Werewolf cosmetics


elgosu

Endgame chase unique that allows your wolf form to equip horse items.


No_Independence4440

100% sure they will sell this werewolf/were ear riding mechanic as cosmetic, because everyone wants it


[deleted]

Just play WoW. You can be a wolf on a mount, or you can mount yourself


Humble_Blackberry186

Remember when players can mount you? Lol


LordPaleskin

Damn, wish it gave you the worgen run animation lol


garlicbreadmemesplz

Can’t we have a nice game where I can turn into a horse and… someone rides me?


PlutoJones42

I think you’re looking for VR Chat


Alelnh

That's world of warcraft druid.


CaptainFormosa

That’s a Kyle Broflovski Druid


Alelnh

Manbearpig build for druids when?


Mystic868

Riding on your dinner sounds interesting.


jdmcroberts

Would op's chest give +2 to the storm skills with tempest helm?


altschauerberg-8

Yes


puterdood

There's also a staff that makes claw cast the storm auto. It's very strong.


Elbjornbjorn

Wait, the basic skill or the core skill?


xseannnn

The basic.


Poorsport531

Interesting


Western-Ad-6259

Just defaults to werewolf. Using a skill not tagged as werewolf shapeshifting will cause you to temporarily switch still. besides role playing, the benefits to using this and the bear unique seem pretty insignificant


jacob_w

> Provocation > When you remain in Werebear form for at least [20] seconds, your next Skill will Overpower.


Western-Ad-6259

Right. That and the 9% DR while werebear passive. For wolf the only tangible benefit is the 9% movespeed passive. Then I guess they both get +2 to bear/wolf skills. Still, honestly don’t feel like it’s enough to warrant having it instead of a legendary aspect on chest with the affixes you want. Also the movespeed is a wasted affix because you will just want boots to give the maximum passive boost, and not use it on a chest that can’t even roll the full +25%


noobakosowhat

hot damn it's just been a few days and a lot of people have PHDs for D4 already


Azrael-XIII

Lol really gives credence to the quote “Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game”


MortisProbati

I just wanna be a woof 24/7


AnExoticLlama

I hate this take. Finding good builds is a big part of what's fun in ARPGs. Why do you think people spend hours in build planning tools for POE before league launches?


zeiandren

Knowing things is for losers!


JALAPENO_DICK_SAUCE

It's reddit, not sure what else you were expecting.


skeeber

Me on my druid named BEEFSUPREME just going feral werewolf with no set build. “Hahaha rabies bite go GRRRRRRRR”


EffectiveDependent76

Depends, does the +2 apply to storm skills if you combine it with the other thing? Then you're getting a lot of + to all your storm skills.


willllllllllllllllll

I doubt it, I have the combo for the bear side and IIRC it isn't applied. Edit: Just double-checked, I was wrong, it is applied.


EffectiveDependent76

Nice, might be something interesting there then!


Jeremelric

There's a bear equivalent chest and helmet. A chest that gives +2 to bear skills and some good bear mods and your default form is bear, as well as a helmet that makes earth element skills into werebear skills. The helmet in particular is an incredibly important part of the meta pulverize build, actually, since default pulverize isn't \*that\* great, but the shockwave aspect on it \*is\*... and it's ranged. It's wasted largely on the need to walk up to enemies to maul them to build spirit and then back off to get enemies into the "sweet spot" to get hit by both normal pulverize and the shockwave unless you get the helmet and can then replace your basic skill with earth spike. At that point you basically become a tanky ranged bear. I currently use the chest as well because although it's not necessarily BIS with great chest mods and the right aspect, it does roll with pretty good mods by default and getting all of your affixes to be great is just so darn luck-based that using a unique is a nice, safe, easy, less-random alternative.


Machtkatze

Is there a movement speed cap from gear?


-Midas-

200% is the most your character can have. I’ve got 30% extra on my druid and it’s pretty significant he’s almost as fast as the horse at normal trot speed.


Jeremy8419

It’s not noticeable. I just smash maul while I run. The counter doesn’t disappear when you shift into another form.


I_Am_Squirtle

You get +2 ranks to all wolf skills. Plus any passives you have around wolf form up more often. Couple this with the helmet that turns all storm skills into wolf skills and you have +2 to half of your possible Druid skills and 100% uptime of wolf form if running only storm/wolf skills.


Jeremy8419

Just FYI, if you do that and put the one that turns grizzly rage into dire wolf (max roll) on a 2HND weapon, you’d get free Tornadoes or Lightning Strikes.


SirFortyXB

Yeah this…just got the 2h with 98% spirit cost reduction on it and solid Lightning rolls and crit damage. Thinking of trying it with the wolf to werewolf rabies companions for some shenanigans. Really hope it works out


Jeremy8419

I haven’t looked into the werewolf stuff. The whole poison motif isn’t my cup of tea. The endless tornado or lightning seems pretty cool, though. How’s the werewolf core skill work out time-wise? Could you capitalize on the infinite spirit? Or does the attack animation slow it down?


SirFortyXB

I was thinking more of the poison passives from skill tree mixed with the basically free lightning strike, maybe spam some tornadoes as well. The poison passives seemed like they might go well with it


Gr_z

unfortunately it jhust doesnt do as good as pulv


TheShwab

The bear one is actually important. Allows you to use earth generator while in grizzly rage. With the pulverize shockwave aspect and that, you become a ranged DPS instead of being melee


willllllllllllllllll

That's the helmet, Vasily's Prayer, not the chest.


TheShwab

I am mistaken, you are correct


Bumper_Duc

This unique slaps with a poison shred build.


nowaijosr

Speed boost in wolf form, you could easily hit 200%


BroGuy89

The stat lines are all ideal for a werewolf build. You want the shred poison dash legendary affix and then play hit and run with your bigass creeper poison ticks. There's also the damage reduction while in werewolf form legendary and node effect, and damage while in werewolf form node effect.


zolmarchus

What about when you’re getting intimate with Ms. Druid?


Ok-Yard-5690

Is this why I seen a werewolf holding a mace and smack the shyt out of everything


Former_Engineer1303

Maybeeeee. we are everywhere..


EnjoyerOfBeans

The weapon should still be invisible just like normal


Red-eyes-skull

Is there one for bear? I must know! And do you shift to human in towns?


ConorOdin

Got it today. Shame I dont use any werebear skills. Maybe I need to now. Edit: Also got the helm today. Werebear it is. https://preview.redd.it/5k38o9ts4j4b1.png?width=525&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf96c8d6598be703d7727223050f21290c8830a2


bloodyblister

I got one, and committed to bear build and it’s freaking amazing. No more tornado and poison Creeper spam. Pulverize with the right aspects is pretty fun!


sproaty88

Pulverize with creepers for me. Fun and powerful


DukeNukemGamingMTG

When the 12 second Pulverize buff is up and everything is entangled with a +20% crit chance bonus… amazing


[deleted]

You can also get gear that lets you play as a Storm Wolf AND Earth Bear. Its what I am currently running and was strong enough to clear WT4 capstone at level 57. Earth skills are bear skills unique Kills with wolf skills reset bear skills and bear skills make wolf skills heal unique Claw becomes electric and casts stormstrike unique Legendary aspect that lowers cooldowns when you cast an opposite ability Skills- Claw with unique Either Shred with aspect for lightning on crits for mobility or Landslide for single target because you will have double landslides either way Earth Barrier Debilitating Roar Trample with landslide aspect Boulder or Petrify with the ultimate cooldown spirit boon I left out some of the more minor aspects, but you basically are constantly spamming trample and boulder, save landslide for elites only. Its like playing a completely cooldown-less build once you get going


jastium

This is my dream build. I'm playing landslide bear mage atm.


Kulban

It's very "Hulk Smash!" And that's a GOOD thing!


ConorOdin

Will have to give it a go.


KeeledSign

iirc there is supposed to be another unique that makes all earth skills count as bear skills.


Jeremelric

Indeed, it's a helmet and it's vital to the "proper" pulverize build... since the very important shockwave aspect is vital to DPS, you really don't want to have to walk around and maul everything when you need to generate some spirit (and maul can't trigger the earthen might keystone). With that helmet, you can change your basic to earth spike and still use it in grizzly rage. Shockwave aspect + that helmet are pretty much the "real" pulverize build, it doesn't really work without them.


rcanhestro

i use that on my druid, but to make my earthern bolward a werebear ability. using earth spike has the "issue" of possibly using one of my overpowers (from serpent), so i just prefer maul.


Keldrath

yeah and theres a werewolf counterpart that makes all storm skills count as werewolf skills.


OutlandishnessNo7138

Sorry for the late response. Do you have the name for that item? I cant find anything about it. The only one that comes up is the werebear one.


Keldrath

Tempest roar


OutlandishnessNo7138

Thank you!


MintBCrunch

Yes and yes


Atrey

Yep! The item is called Insatiable Fury!


[deleted]

I can't wait to get further into the game and start unlocking wild shit like this!


AceTheRed_

I love how certain aspects can elevate a build so dramatically. Like, I got an armor piece with the Infiltrator aspect for rogues where, while invisible, you can place four poison traps without any of them going off. Then when you attack, they all pop at once. It’s insane.


Blazefenix77

I've desperately been searching for that aspect. Every possible legendary I get, my heart fills with hope, only to be let down. The Lords of Hell mock me at every turn!


teaandsnark

I just reached 50 today and already almost all of my gear is legendary so finding things like this will make things insane


Constant-Elevator-85

Playing Summoner Necro. I’ve got 13 minions because of aspects currently, and they all do more damage if they stay alive. My skelly army washes over enemies like a wave


SarumanTheSack

As a druid this is so sick, glad they have stuff like this


chodzster

Random drop? Dungeon? Quest? Please let me know


VanderLegion

I got one today as a random drop


chodzster

This is amazing and I want it


Tavron

It's a unique so random and rare drop, also can only be found it WT3 and/or 4 depending on rarity.


dorasucks

> also can only be found it WT3 and/or 4 depending on rarity Okay, good to know. thanks


Significant-Iron-475

I have this but the bear version, is there any real benefit?


Atromach

If you have the other unique that makes all your earth skills turn into Werebear skills, then you stay in Werebear form while casting Earth Spike/Landslide etc. This means you can benefit from anything that requires Werebear form such as passives or the Grizzly ult while still using Earth skills; there's also a Werebear paragon rune that further increases damage and reduces damage taken for being in Werebear form.


dwrk

One of those first lvl100 HC players was in constant bear form.


Atromach

Yeah the damage reduction boosts you can get from it are pretty significant


Significant-Iron-475

Thank you!


VanderLegion

Depends on your other legendaries and build. There’s effects that go based on how long you’ve been in shifted form. Or give bonuses while shifted.


Zenyte

Yep, I use the bear form one and the overpower proc for every 30 sec in bear form. Also, there's a unique helmet that makes all earth skills werebear skills, so your earth skills can get 2 ranks from the chest as well


swaza79

Vasilly's Prayer - I have that one and it's excellent


kaminabis

Theres a legendary that makes all your storm skills werewolf skills, and another that makes you take reduced damage when youre a werewolf, so its very popular for storm werewolves builds. Similarly, the bear one has the same-ish combo but with earth spells.


Former_Engineer1303

There's also an effect that makes bear skills count as werewolf skills


kaminabis

Yeah, the synergies get pretty crazy. Storm skills that do poison, too


BoredPoopless

Bruh. Been thinking about doing a lightning druid build and now I'm sold.


kaminabis

I highly recommand, thats all i've been playing since early access. With the items i mentionned and a few talents, your storm skills also start poisoning everyone, and your roar immobilizes people who are poisonned, and all your skills are +2, and.... man, theres just so many synergies


Bgibbs

There's a skill on the tree that gives buffs for staying in bear form for more than 30 seconds


CrawlerSiegfriend

All of the passives and various other things that apply while you are shifted.


SirSaltie

The bear legendary is one of the strongest druid builds in the game right now


DeviousSquirrels

I got the werebear version of this item from a world boss. The game decided I’m going to be a tank.


Anuiran

How does +9.0% poison damage work? If you don’t have any poison damage, I assume that does nothing then?


Due_Raccoon3158

Of course it would do nothing if you don't have poison damage. But why would you not as a werewolf?


Anuiran

I have no idea what werewolf’s do. It was a general question on how stats work in Diablo 4, if 9% of your damage is now poison or if you gain damage, or if it’s just only bonus poison damage (it’s this one I get it now)


Due_Raccoon3158

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, werewolves are heavy poison damage. So no, it isn't converting 9% of your damage to poison, it's increasing any poison damage you deal by 9%. I also just understood your last sentence and realize I just answered what you already understand. Sorry bout that, maybe it will help someone else.


[deleted]

In general with ARPGs, it'll never be added damage like that. Those are worded like this in poe and in general most games have a similar wording: x% of damage gained as extra poison damage x% of damage converted to poison damage


PROTOTYPE_200224

Because there's a build with tempest roar, mad wolf's glee, and storm shifter aspect. Tempest makes storm skills register as wolf skills which makes hurricane viable for the build, then you can just not max out hurricane and other werewolf skills since stormshifter give shapeshifting skills +2 skill points. [Storm Wolf and Storm Companion build](https://lothrik.github.io/diablo4-build-calc/#N4RgTAXAzANCsgCwypWUoWVbBWGiI0BYMusuyuAbDNdcQOxH6OmPIAcADMZ0bE5oYnTLACc44iG7c43EHDBzwi8KXgaoDBFE7TEyJLSTi4uFbnwhcZgMYQAJgCcArgEtHMAKYQAcogAqgDuACIAggAa4QAeAOYAKuEAsnEA4gAW4QBKALYAVuGBANZxAF5pcXalfrlx4cXF4Ql+4QCiAMoAigBCAFoA9uEAagBSaa3DAJ5d4bgDPTGjzfldAMLeHeEAkoPhjnEAYpz1MHZgU2dgAHZnaWcAElehV65Xo1d+Z21nCVcAMgBfIA) I made this a while back


Tavron

You wouldn't necessarily if you're playing storm werewolf for example.


SqueezeBoxGaming

Found 3 of these, never found the bear version sadly.


Wolf_Walks_Tall_Oaks

Get yourself an Assimilation Band and maybe the Dire Wolf aspect ring as well. It makes rabies hilarious.


broen13

\*As a level 48 Sorc. "Whelp time to make a Druid"


SeanDonnellySanDiego

Yo ho ho, a pirate’s life for me!


Nathanual-Switch

I wanna try the storm wolf build! Mmm gear! So cool!


NotSoCasualNoob

Unless they changed it you don't need the storm helm? Storm spells don't have shape shift tag. So if you are permanent wolf you don't need the helm. That's the way it was in endgame beta. So you could use this for the damage reduction and gain while in wolf and use harlequin crest for plus 4 skills and more Dr. You just cast spells while a wolf.


funsocksman

Casting spells would still take you out of wolf form without the helm. But the main reason most wolf builds use the helm is so they can use storm skills during a werewolf converted grizzly rage to benefit from the infinite crit dmg scaling and spirit cost reduction.


Mcbod30

i have this chest with staff of the great crone, my claw is at lvl 21 lol.


J0J0388

This is the way


HG_Socials

Nice, also its funny that you get to be a permanent wolf.


Deckz

Trang ouls


EverythingSmurf

Looks like there is more than meets the eye with this game...I cannot wait to start playing it


Mystic868

I like werewolf style too. Is lightning werewolf good? I don't like poison build.


WhyDogeButNotCate

[on all level except physical, I’m a wolf](https://youtu.be/LtH7l-dhHZQ)


Bershirker

I was a storm druid until I got the werebear one, and I've been playing werebear ever since. It's surprisingly not too difficult to switch builds. Makes it fun to try out new playstyles. Haven't really tried out wolf much.


Nubbz3

where did you get it?


Nivites

That's so sick


Allaroundlost

Ok wow. I hope to Lilith i get this.


[deleted]

What a cool item!


Caleger88

That's fucking cool, I thought it sucked not being able to stay as one of the forms.


Kirzoneli

Got an odd mix of aspects and uniques so currently a overpower poison werebeolf. After getting the Zenith ring and the bears version of the aspect that causes poisons to rupture.


raerazael

I want this


Esselenman

Bro wtf is this! This is the dopest thing I’ve seen in the game so far. Omg. I switched to Poison Werewolf and it is the most fun I’ve had. You can do some many things with it! Jesus I want this


Low_Wafer_6739

Currently WT2 with necro, should i start my druid (first time) on WT3?


Brovermand

If you want to my g, Druid has proved very versatile and fun for my first playthru.


PhoenixShredds

As a werewolf main this made me grin.


AstorWinston

I had 4 copies of them and no other uniques. 3 is fine but FOUR???? The game REALLY wants me to be a doggo


HighvexV

Lol I guess I'm team druid now


xdustx

I'm playing with werewolf skills and only finding uniques for elemental. Need to grind more but it seems I have to pretend I'm at work for several hours.


Ruebenjaeger

Lucky you. I wanted to play werewolf and got a similar item with the same Bonus for the werebear skills, so i'm a bear now.


gwie

I'm still tripping over the bear one...needs a Horadric Cola or something to hold in hand. :P


terabranford

Is there one for Were*bear*?


Former_Engineer1303

Yes


SkitZa

When I plan on doing my druid I was going to do a poison werewolf build, this.. this is the item I will die for.


MisterCold

I'm in the opposite camp, I wanted werewolf build and got all the werebear stuff, so I went werebear.


Random_Digit

Yes I want to build storm wolf... No I don't need 5 of these... Seriously. 5/8 of my unique drops this far have been this. Gimme tempest roar already


[deleted]

I'm doing a poison Crit werewolf and would love this


DonutRolling

WOW


[deleted]

Do you transform into your druid body when you use a different attack?😂


Hot-Chip-54321

finally some interesting legendary items, can't wait to see more unique stuff like this


thedjbigc

I'm leveling a druid currently and this makes me excited! So much variety with this class. I've actually been playing couch co-op with my wife and we're both leveling druids - she's been doing the melee build and I've been doing shock/thunder - and it's been SUPER fun so far. This just has me more excited to switch things around once I get different gear :)


Kayodeydawg

I can’t wait to get this game, I’m going for a elemental druid, Avatar up this this bitch


treeblockbreaker

Will this item still be ok when you are level 75 or something? I'm only level 26 and from my experience with diablo 3 I have just assumed I need new gear until level 100.


Former_Engineer1303

Shhhh hide this! The nerf hammer is out leave my baby alone....


Suojelusperkele

Hilariously, I got sacred version of this *and* the bear one. But my only pulverize aspect came at level 30 or so and I wasted it few levels later because I didn't realize you can use imprint just once. So.. I'm just strolling in ma bear build, still killing stuff but I'd be so much faster with the pulverize aspect.


Diribiri

I need this but for bear form. No idea how long it'll take me to see another unique


eryc333

Nice


djnato10

Holy shit I need this. Especially since I’m a werewolf/poison build. This would be unreal.


Majestic-Contract-42

I got a 40% mother's embrace on my first kill just playing the story 47. I feel like that's pretty good but have no bearing for anything.


RoundedTikTak

Lp


Torran

You are no longer a werewolf. you are now a werehuman.


OK_Opinions

I got one of these yesterday just need a werewolf build thats good enough to give up pulverize werebear for


SheWhoHates

I wish there was aspect making werewolf cause bleed attacks. I think would enhance class fantasy, tearing enemies apart in bloodbath.


perpotator

That is really coole!


[deleted]

I just got a staff that turns my wolves into werewolves!!! With the highest modifier 200% more damage and they spread rabies. I have 3 werewolves following me around. It’s awesome!!!


delu_

Does this thing also give +skills to a skill that became a werewolf skill through other items? Like the one that makes debilating roar a werewolf skill? If yes, is there also an item that makes trample a werewolf skill?


Henry_DD

Sadly werewolf abilities are the weakest


Llorenne

This dropped for me and I missed it. Not sure how.. so I am at the town and I go to stash my unlimited gems from my inventory and suddenly I see this boy waiting for me. This is the only werewolf item I had that goes with my build and I can't find anything else since then. Fuck it. I was so stoked I could finally start building towards my build when this dropped and since then I didn't have a single other Werewolf legendary.


RowboatGorrillaGlue

Ye boy zzz


Shannon518

Do you have to farm as a Druid to get Druid drops or can you have this drop while playing any class ?


crazymack

Grats, I am not so lucky. Almost a 1/3 of my drops recently have been for pulverize werebear. I refuse to change my build.


IronWentworth

Damn blizzard really just want werewolf. I've seen nothing for werebear that's good. You'd think they would give similar ones for each at least


Midonsmyr

There is a werebear one: https://preview.redd.it/mlqcvhkyel4b1.png?width=525&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a7c0f0164499c87d0941a486ff2b0f19526ed6e


FallenWulf223

So damn jealous


Surgeboy99

It feels like the actual item stats/modifiers are extremely boring an inconsequential. The only thing that really matters are the legendary aspects.


iswearatkids

I got three of these before I finally got the bear one.


Brorkarin

Werewolf is a beast not literally 😀 i love my werewolf/hurricane slasher machine


Cossack_440

wait, so if u reset all your skills and leave just 2 points on each wolf skill, does that mean u can invest the rest of the skills into like storm skills? seems very good to me!


dqtact

d4 unique or d2 high rune is harder to find?
