Does anyone else wish the werewolves were stronger? Is it just me or is turning into a werewolf almost a disadvantage? Thoughts?
IMO yes they are weak.
They SEEM great at LOWER levels (vs the above-posted snow-trolls and guards, etc), but once you hit even moderately higher level mobs they are useless, especially if you are a heavy armor user. Fight vs Draugr at lvl 36 in Superior Blades Armor (full set with matching set bonus) with 100 Heavy Armor and 2H Weapon skills with all the perks, and 98 Block skill = I win, even just sitting there and blocking; no contest. Transform to werewolf = DEAD in FIRST hit from draugr. Period.
If the abilites scaled, they would rock. If they had real, SERIOUS resistance to normal weapons, like they should, they would be OK, tho highlvl mobs would be using magical items).
For some reason they are not susceptible to silver, which makes the Silver Hand faction stupid vs them, as they are all silver weapon users specifically in order to fight werewolves. They should give 75% weakness to silver and make WWs immune, or at least nearly immune, to normal weapons, and 50% resistant to magical weapons that are not silver.
There are supposedly bugs with dual wield leading to the offhand weapon equipping after transform.
WW carry/encumbrance allowance is higher by a lot.
