    Maybe one of these would be considered  innovative.

    PS: Sorry for being trollish with how I'm listing them. The builds linked are the Sternguard, the Witchhunter, the Scourge, the Summerset Shadow, the Forgotten, the Manaphagist, the Necromancer, and the Hashashin.

    What the hell have I started?

    Lol honestly I was really just spitting a bit of hyperbole in regards to Constantine's epic pro-werewolf prose. The poetic manner in which he essentially asks vampires to "come at me, bro" on behalf of lycanthrope lovers everywhere sells the build itself, IMO. Sometimes it's about having fun and Constantine has done an awesome job at elucidating the appeal of werewolves in both the build and his responses to these comments.

    As for the build itself, I'd argue that a singular focus such as what's on display here can be considered an innovation in its own right. Nobody has thought to make a pure werewolf build until now and it's pretty genius in my own humble opinion.

    Sometimes a straightforward and streamlined approach is a more welcome advancement than some groundbreaking new game mechanics. I've never wanted to play a werewolf like this build makes me want to because there's never been such a refined focus on actually being a werewolf before, and that's innovative in its own right. For me to know I can take a character to level 30 and have the very best werewolf I can hope for in my hands is something that makes me wanna jump right in. I don't want a swordsman capable of utilizing wolf form for a change of pace in combat or a level 81 character that can do it all including transform; I want a build that takes advantage of everything that can benefit a lycanthrope and nothing more. It's succinct and, IMO, perfectly so.

    But then again maybe Constantine just swindled me with all those slick words about how awesome werewolves are and how lame you fangbangers are by comparison. I'm sold!

    I use poetry, sounds corny but is surprisingly effective

    Now I love werewolves even more. Thanks.

    PS: I guess the ring of namira bug got fixed. :-/ Is that true?

    Great! Which Namira bug are you talking about, the one that stops you from being able to feed?

    Or this one?

    If the Dragonborn is wearing the Ring of Namira when they receive the Cursed Ring of Hircine from Sindingduring the quest Ill Met By Moonlight, they will forever be able to feed off of bodies and obtain +50 health and +50% health regeneration.

    Basically gives you improved feasting.

    First off, let me say that I love this build and how it's presented! I haven't played werewolf since before Dawnguard and this build inspired me to start a new character and give it another go. I'm also planning on posting the backstory to my character using this build. I have a couple questions though. What daggers do you suggest using? Does the damage matter for the "Claws of Hircine", or just the enchantments? Second, I can't seem to get the glitch to work. I'm playing on 360. Does the double power strike have to hit an enemy or can you just dual power strike and transform before battle? Also, does any enchantment work, such as soul trap? I've not finished the Claws yet, so I'm using one with Soul Trap and the other with Absorb Health.
