Description

Wolfhowl is the namesake piece of the WolfBarb build, granting a Barbarian access to Werewolf, Lycanthropy, and Feral Rage.

Key details

  • It also grants a major bonus to Warcries and non-Energy stats.
  • Feral Rage is much like Frenzy, a skill Barbarians have naturally, further reducing the value of Wolfhowl.
  • Because of this and its lack of use to most builds that don't want to be in Werewolf form, it is mostly a novelty item.
  • On the other hand, we save skill points on combat skills, which can be spent on warcries or masteries.
  • Paired with a solid life and attack speed bonuses from Werewolf and Lycanthropy, this is a workable build.

D2Emu Tips

  • The reason builds don't want to be in Werewolf form is because while transformed the only skill available to use is Feral Rage.
  • Considering the low barrier to entry of a skill level 9 Werewolf and Lycanthropy (Base 3, Spirit x2, Annihilus, Battle Command), a WolfBarb in Werewolf form will enjoy the following benefits or better: +85% Life +25% Stamina +170% Attack Rating +56% Attack Speed 240 Second duration Because a WolfBarb will almost certainly…
  • : Crushing Blow on the off-hand weapon does not apply, therefore Last Wish does not always suit here, when an Act 2 mercenary can provide a higher Might level with an additional Aura weapon if desired.
  • With all of its properties having random values, it's definitely one of the hardest, if not the hardest, item in game to get as perfect.
  • The increased attack speed of Werewolf form, and Barb being able to hold multiple slow/heavy weapons, means that Wolfbarb is good for hitting several times faster with heavy weapons, somewhat like Druid.
