Werewolf Beginner Build
ESO Werewolf Beginner Build
This werewolf build for The Elder Scrolls Online is fairly easy to get started with and has access to plenty of damage and healing, plus insane speed! This build will do great in both PVE and PVP.
More details including game play of the Werewolf Beginner Build can be found in the video below.
Primary Sets
Our main 5 piece set on this build is Eternal Vigor, a heavy armor set from the Greymoor Chapter. This set is fairly easy to get early in the game from quests and delves in Greymoor, and adds substantially to the overall sustain and survival of the Werewolf.
Gryphon’s Ferocity comes from the Summerset chapter and adds damage and speed to the build through the Minor Expedition and Minor Force buffs.
For the final two pieces of gear on this build Armor Of The Trainee is an easy option for the extra Health and Magicka.

Attributes
Most of our skills cost Stamina to cast, so putting all Attribute Points into Stamina will be the most effective.
0 Health
0 Magicka
64 Stamina
Consumables, Race, Mundus
Class
I prefer being a Stamina Sorcerer for the cost reduction passives (regular abilities and ultimate transformation) or a Stamina Nightblade for the bonus to their recoveries.
Race
Orc or Dark Elf will be a strong choice for this set up if you want as much damage as possible. Imperial will also be a nice option if you have access to them, due to the extra stats and cost reduction of abilities. Nord can also be a nice option for the extra defense and ultimate regeneration while outside of Werewolf form.

Mundus
The Lover / The Thief / The Steed
Food/Drink Buff
Bewitched Sugar Skulls
Potions
