Actually you seem to be ignoring the fact that, as someone already said, the VL cannot actually grip and pick up a WW. The coding for the WW is written like the Mammoth and Dragon, or very close to it. So therefor, there goes that idea. Also, the time issue means nothing, why? because the strength of the WW is so much higher than the VL that the WW just has to hit the VL like once or twice and its over. Even with all this talk it really does boil down to the individual character though and how they are specd. Im just going on if it were an even level 81VL against an 81 WW with both specd out perk trees.
And as someone else mentioned, and you really should pay attention, you can indeed throw a Werewolf, they are not written like a Mammoth, or anything else. I know this, because as I've said, I've thrown Werewolves before. Again, strength isn't much of a factor, when your being bombed from afar. If you have a really strong guy, who can do massive damage up close, that's great, but it doesn't do much against a sniper whose far away. And again, I'll keep pointing out the transformation factors. Eventually, the Werewolf will have to turn Human again, when he does, it will be destroyed. Even if a Werewolf manages to turn again, it's health will be so low at that point, it will be an easy matter to take out the trash for the VL.
I also think its hilarious how that before Dawnguard came out the Vampires sucked so much that they had to come out with an expansion to make them even close to the WW. Ever think about that? And still, looking at their attribute trees.....WWs are still better...even after Dawnguard.
Yes, they sucked in the beginning, they sucked so bad it was extremely funny. That isn't the case anymore, their better then WW's.
Really, I think many people arguing against me should just go play the VL and get back to me. if you already have played it, then I seriously think that your not putting it to good use, or aren't using it well. I've destroyed whole cities and bandit camp with my VL on Master level. All with vampiric grip. I've taken on two Elder Dragon and come out on top. Werewolves are good, they can do these things, their stats and attributes may be better, but they still can't match up with the spells you get with the VL, not to mention how Versatile it is.
So, if you haven't yet, play the VL. if you say you have, truly have, rather then just saying so, then I suggest you go back and retest the VL, because I think your seriously doubting it's abilities. I'm seeing only a few people on this Thread who think the Werewolf is better. Everyone else I've come across who has played the VL acknowledges that it is much better then the Werewolf.
Don't get me wrong, the WW is awesome. I've stated that it has some amazing power, I'm sure it could win quite a few battles. like I said, it isn't like the VL would win every single time. However, the majority of the wins would go to the VL. I would put money on it, and I rarely do such a thing.
