Blizzard, thanks for introducing aspects to make the wolves build strong. The following glyph/multipliers do not work with companions at all:
Calm Before the Storm spirit boon (Nature Magic tag with Storms Companion pants)
THUNDERSTRUCK
Lupine Ferocity (despite Werewolf tag when running Alpha aspect)
Perfect Storm
Elemental Exposure
Electric Shock
Natural Disaster
Fang and Claw
Werewolf
Earth and Sky
Outmatch
Electrocution
Dominate
Additionally, when you triple crit masterworking on ranks of Wolves on Storms Companion pants it stays at rank 5. Even with a GA on ranks of Wolves its still stuck at 5.
Furthermore, Mjolnic Ryng prevents the use of Ancestral Guidance node. Spending spirit vs unlimited resource.
Flagship build for Druid this season and Blizzard did literally zero testing on any of this. These multipliers have been inoperative with pets since the game’s release.

Both Fulminate and Spirit glyphs also do not work with wolf companions
Yes the multipliers do not, but the lightning damage itself does help the output which is weird
blizzard just doesnt want to detach lightnings as lightning dmg and tornados and wind shear as wind damage beacuse then it is basically another version of sorc. But some devs distinguish it while others don’t and could bet my left arm that in code the game is incomprehensive and inconsistent regarding those concepts.
I read somewhere that the companions only get a copy of your stats, not your enhancements.
This is the only game I ever played where the new builds (after PTR) are superbugged ( 95% of the glyphs and tags of the werewolves doesn’t work) and in the next season ( after another PTR) not only they didn’t fixed anything about this bugs but in addition they broke the items that worked well and now are bugged ( ranks of Wolves stuck at 5 and you can’t increase it) . This is ridiculous.
Are you sure the ranks of wolves are stuck at 5? I have items that boost wolves way above that.
It says how much damage the wolves do on the tooltip, based on rank. The AOE with the upgrade pants I assume does that attack damage AOE.
It seems simple.
One thing I notices is the rabies DOT doesn’t seem to scale as large as the enhancement values on the armor items. This is the only thing so far that seems to need to be fixed.
Yeah storms companion is bugged. No more than +5 to wolves…
Not in tool tip oder in skill screen.
yep, the bug is known. even on maxroll if you have GA on + wolves rank it is still +5. even if you 3x crit masterwork it is still the same rank. But the only correct choice is to get damage reduction GA with triple mw crit anyway.
