    I've been awaiting this build with anticipation... it's been worth the wait! What a unique twist on the werewolf thing--the nether east truly is a monster :D Kudos to you... this build rocks!

    Man, why are so many good builds coming out recently? I have basketball and my own playtesting to do, now I want to play this and the Purifier... darn you Alastor and Zach!

    In all serious though, this build is great. It all flows together really nicely, and I love evil builds.

    The Nether Beast mode is awesome, but can you do the same thing with vampire lord form? If so, I might use something like that in one of my playthroughs.

    Very nice build, well deserved +1.

    P.S - I love that last pic, looks super sick.

    Here I am waiting for another archery build and you pull this shit! Makes me not even wanna post my build anymore. You made a goddamn nether beast! I don't even know what that is but it is amazing! 

    Anyway enough fangirling, the synergy and symbolism of this build is off the charts. Just something to note, I remember in Narm's Guardian of Silence that if you power attack and transform at the same time then your weapon enchantment will transfer as well. I don't know if that's been patched or if it only works with one-handed weapons, but it could be useful if your ever fighting an uphill battle. Although you'll rarely be in that situation with this behemoth lol.

    If I recall correctly, if you transfer your weapon damage into your claws you will be overwriting your claw's damage and power/charge attacks which you wouldn't want to do. Also, it has a very high tendency of making you like a walking werewolf mascot when you transform back into a human. :/

    see here for more details:

    Think of the possibilities of the nether beast! By equipping two one handed weapons, you could have one enchanted with absorb health and/or Silent Moons Enchant (extra damage at night) as well as the other with soul trap (a nether beast with ability to steal souls? Yes please.)  and/or shock damage (I don't know about you but I think that truly evil characters should manipulate the power of darkness into chaos {lightning})

    But I don't want to be a walking werewolf mascot! :/ Anyway to change back fully into a normal human? Like sleeping/waiting?

    How did you know I planned on making a Profile for this? ;)

    I figured since it's mostly for aesthetics, people wouldn't be too turned off. The build can easily be played without the glitch, but I personally loved the shadowy lycanthropy. And thanks! :)

    *blushes* You comin' on to me, Sam? ;) Thanks a lot though! It means a great deal when it comes from a builder that I admire.
