    That's what Fear is for friend! It made the Nether Beast form viable all the time, giving plenty of reprieve to transform which only takes like 10 seconds max. That leaves 20 seconds of chasing down cowardly milkdrinkers!! Of course there may be a few situations where you can't and that could be a good route to go, maybe mid-dragon battle.

    Just thought I'd mention it. Did't really think you need it seeing how perfect this build is

    A good way to confirm is to do the werewolf lunge (charge attack); if you are able to knock down/stagger things while absorbing hp then it stacks. Likewise, if you press both triggers down and capable of flinging your targets while absorbing hp then it stacks.

    Otherwise what seems more likely is the game is registering your attack with your poleaxe as magical damage (all attacks done in werewolf form is a type of magical damage-- which is why if you have 100% atronach your capable of absorbing attacks done by other werewolf/werebears) which completely ignores targets armor and defense allowing you to do more damage than regularly can.

    Archery may be my bread'n'butter now but when I first started playing Morrowind, magic was my weapon of choice. I'm glad to have surprised everyone though :D I wanted to wait until you posted your build because I'm sure it will trump mine but I had everything typed up and was happy with it. P.S. Fangirl as much as you want cuz I've done way too much of that over your builds :)

    I honestly am having doubts that mine can compare to yours now lol 

    Its not fair because I don't get a chance to go crazy over your builds because you only have two!

    Yeah you definitely knock stuff down and Absorb Health. Also, it levels Two-Handed really quickly so I'm assuming all the damage you deal goes towards experience. Seriously, I have low 90's in Two-Handed and it levels as though you're level 5! Trust me Jake, I was just as surprised as you. With no Bestial Strength points, I was stunned at the damage I was dealing. My normal Nether Blade couldn't compare and Werewolf form wouldn't come close either. I'm positive it stacked the damage.

    Better add some zest then (although I'm sure you're underselling it) ;) And I nearly posted three different builds before this. I just wasn't happy with the playthrough, they all got stale after I finished them. The Nethermancer was definitely different though. I would love to go back and play it again right now if I had the time! Which brings me to my final point, I won't be too active after this. I got engaged, started a new job, and have a wedding to plan :)
