Colour me impressed too. I never knew you could use a power like Adrenalin Rush or Dragon Aspect and have that transform with you into wolf form for its duration. That is an incredible find to me.

As for the aesthetics of this build, I'm enjoying the idea of playing the unasuming wanderer in travel-stained robes who hides a dark secret.

Definite +1 and thanks to the guys who brought this topic up.

In regards to the Howl Duration ring, consider the effect of the Improved Totem of Brotherhood plus Blessing of Talos plus three shout Dragon Aspect.

The werewolves summoned by Totem of Brotherhood do not vanish when new ones are summoned. This means that with the duration of the howl increased combined with a 40% shout reduction, you may have 4 to 6 red wolves running around creating carnage with you.

I didn't know they didn't vanish! Are you sure they don't count towards summon limit? If that's the case, I'll add this straight away.

Thank you very much for going out of your way to show your appreciation, it's well received.

Precisely.

Awesome build and a very good answer to all the vampire builds here! +1

Unless that changed with the 1.9 patch, or my save is bugged, they don't vanish until their duration is over. They definitely do not count toward summon limit. They also are not impacted by the atronach abilities. They seem to be 'different' than other summons.

On another note regarding the consideration for masculinity, the counter for the female wolves is they tend to get more benefit from the Agent of Dibella ability (seems to be more men than women as opponents... but that may just be experimenter bias) and Lover's Insight from the Black Books. This would equate to a 20% increase in damage v. male opponents.
