Introduction
Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Werewolf vMA Build PvE, Berserker, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for completing Veteran Maelstrom as easily as possible, with an extremely easy to acquire gear loadout! Werewolves are incredibly strong for vMA, and this build is designed for a safe playthrough! Even though it’s tanky and has a ton of healing, it does NOT lack in the damage department! You will be taking things down incredibly quickly, making things that much easier. Best part about this build? Since it’s a werewolf build, it can be used on any class.

Resource Management & Rotation
Rotation for werewolf is incredibly simple: use your fear, howl of agony, and light attack to your heart’s content. You can also weave Light Attack > Howl of Agony when you need to burst something down quickly. Use feral pounce to get to mobs in a hurry, and use your heal as needed. Very, very straightforward.
