FROZEN LIGHTNING Werewolf Build (Leveling & Endgame)

You'll progress through these skills roughly in order, so grab them as you can. Remember, Shred is dictated by your Talisman. Always make sure you that you have a Werewolf Talisman with "Werewolf" selected. If you choose any of the other animals, it'll replace Shred.

Skill Gems

These skill gems are your top priority. If you find a syngergy that makes sense, feel free to swap it in, but I wanted to play as heavily into Werewolf as I could:

• Shred - You bread & butter. You'll be using this to annihilate targets that you freeze. We use Rapid Attacks II to amp up speed. DO NOT USE LEVEL 3! IT HALVES THE DAMAGE. Rage I generates more early rage for us, and Rending Apex helps break armor so we can punch into physical resist better.
• Lunar Assault - This is your primary vehicle for delivery frost build up and freezing targets. We want Ice Bite II because it will amp up our damage after we freeze a target. Freeze helps us freeze targets faster. Brittle Armour will help us prime armor break for when we use Shred. Elemental Armament I is just gravy by adding more cold damage.
• Pounce - This is your big opener that you use to close gaps. Fist of War I ancestrally boosts our pounce so that it does more damage. It's already on a 6 second cooldown, so this just plays into the the cooldown. Freezing Mark is HUGE because it's going to give us a ton of buffs and focus for our damage and Cross Slash. Mark for Death II just further helps with armor breaking.
• Arctic Howl - This is a buff that'll always help our damage, but you'll be killing things so fast that this is really used for single target freezing. Tireless since this skill empowers your next attack after freezing a target this has a chance to give us more value out of the empower. Ice Bite II Further increases our damage when we freeze. Deep Freeze this is clutch for bosses to help the freeze last longer so we can Shred them down.
• Cross Slash - This is used after Pounce to detonate the Freezing Mark to help amplify cold damage as well as help freeze build up. It also does a LOT of AoE damage after we put Magnified Area II on there. To help ramp up damage when targets are weaker, we use Execute II for ALL targets on low life, and Culling Strike II for unique/rare monsters.
• Lunar Blessing - Your final ability and a real damage amp that helps you REALLY scale that heavy end game damage. In order to maintain uptime on it though, you'll need these support gems: Second Wind II makes it so we can cast this multiple times. Prolonged Duration II keeps the skill up for longer, helping to do more damage. Cooldown Recovery I helps the uses come back online quicker.

Spirit Gems

There are plentyyyy of Spirit Gems to choose from, and I haven't tested them all, but the priority here is:

1. Herald of Ice - This is our first pick because it helps us significantly in our early map clearing and leveling. Upgrade this with whatever gems you want to get the most of out of it, but Clarity I is going to help you the most with your mana regeneration issues.
2. Cast on Elemental Ailment - This is your second big pick and you won't be able to get it until level 58 and 103 intelligence. So, as you get close to 58, make sure to plan on grabbing the intelligence. Also note, it'll take 100 spirit. This is what triggers out Thunderstorm, thus putting Drenched on targets to help with freezing targets which triggers this again AND for Shock Conduction II for guaranteed shock which gives us 30% more damage from our passives.
3. Savage Fury - This might seem like the first one you should take, but you don't have any early rage generation or ramp so it'll just cost you DPS and survivability. You can jump into it after 58 as you see fit, but it'll require some tweaking.
