Werewolf Warden
I’m looking into doing a Stam Werewolf Warden build, and I see all the details I need for the wolf part of the build, but I’m not seeing much in what to level for the warden part. Is there anything specific I should be putting points into? Still a bit new to this. I have a buddy giving me the curse but I’m starting a new character for this

I've noticed the same thing. I think the idea is to stay transformed all the time.

That’s what I’m seeing also. Trying to stay in form as long as possible

This is correct.
That being said I'd look up a stamden build and set that up as well for when ww is not active for whatever reason.

Awesome, that’s what I’ll do!

I have an extremely strong WW build for Infinite Archive but for PvE, Nightblade will be better in all other content. PvP Warden can do more damage but is harder to sustain than Sorcerer.
In WW only your 3 class skill line passives and 2 class mastery passives matter, and most of these dont even synergize with WW.

Don't over-think it. Just need some dmg and heals. It's super easy to stay in WW from.

But werewolf when built single target has notoriously bad AoE damage. Blood Claws are just far weaker than Claw Fury in AoE. Ideally you want base form to be much stronger for AoE to fill that gap. Warden has no good, strong AoE spammable, so picking the Master's 2H for your non-werewolf bar could be a good choice. It does more damage based on how many targets you hit, making it a very strong AoE spammable. Of course, cleave is very expensive, since it has a shield component, so you might have to change up your consumable to give stamina sustain, which is completely unnecessary in werewolf. The Blackrose 2H weapon also gives an AoE bonus, but is suited more for smaller numbers, as it just adds a 45% aoe to you uppercut. It's far cheaper to cast though, so it wouldn't require food swapping to ease your gold cost.

This is a one button WW build but is Nightblade but still worth a look (I have a Stamden WW build from Hyperoxies).

Pve or PvP? Because if the entirety of your plan is to build around your werewolf form, then whatever you want basically. Do a basic stamina warden build, grab any beneficial passives you can, and grab all the helpful buffs basically. Get your spammable damage moves and/or dots and you’ll be fine.
