ESO Werewolf Tank Information

Welcome to The Tank Club: ESO Werewolf Tank Build.

This is a fun/casual build you can use for Tanking as a Werewolf in The Elder Scrolls Online.

The Werewolf Tank is a lot of fun to play but has a very limited playstyle. You can provide a decent range of group support and it’s possible to Tank most things as a Werewolf.

If you are doing any serious level of content or progression it would be best not to use a Werewolf as it’s not possible to give your group, the full support they may require.

ESO Werewolf Tank Skills

Pack Leader: This is the more Tank morph. You take 10% less damage and also provide your group with Minor Courage which is the same buff as Yolnahkriin.

Brutal Pounce: When combined with Tormentor it works as an Area of Effect Taunt. When you leap into a pack of enemies, it will taunt all of them. If you were doing a Trial, you might have the Main Tank with this morph and the Off Tank should use Brutal Pounce for single target taunting so you are not fighting over aggro of enemies. If you don’t want to AoE taunt and you need to single target taunt when you’ll need to use the Feral Pounce morph instead.

Deafening Roar: This is your enemy debuff. You apply Major Breach, Minor Maim and Off Balance to the enemy. If it is a none Elite or Boss then you will also Fear up to 6 enemies for 4 seconds so this is used for crowd control where needed.

Howl of Despair: This provides your group with a Synergy and also applies Empower to them for 5 seconds which increases damage done with Light/Heavy attacks by 40%.

Hircine’s Fortitude: This is your main heal as a Werewolf. It scales with your Max Health and it’s a huge heal. You can also use this when at full Health as a method for Stamina sustain and you can cast it and receive 3k Stamina back.

Claws of Life: This is a damage and damage over time skill which returns 100% of the damage done as a Heal. This is an AoE skill so if you have multiple enemies in front of you it works even better. You should keep this active as much as possible as a source of healing over time so you don’t waste resources casting Hircine’s Rage when you don’t need a big burst Heal.

Passives: All the passives are pretty important other than Bloodmoon if you don’t want to have the option to turn others into Werewolves.

ESO Werewolf Tank Notes

Class

You can use any class but they best ones would be Sorcerer or Templar because of their passives.

Race

Any race can be used. Since you are using Tormentor which buffs resistances a Nord is not essential so a sustain race such as Imperial or Redguard could be good.

Mundus

The Atronach is the best mundus because it allows you to use your burst heal more which also gives you Stamina when you use it on full health.

Attributes

Max Stats are quite important for a Werewolf Tank. You want a lot of Health and Stamina, Magicka is not as important as it is on a normal Tank build.

Food

Orzorga’s Smoked Bear Haunch is a good food to use just because you need to push those recoveries higher and your max health.

Potions

Tri-Stat potions are the best option, there are no other real useful potions while in Werewolf form.
