1: Aspect of the Wildrage (Wolves get the bestial rampage ultimate, but how?)
Do I need to be a werewolf MYSELF and have the bestial rampage ultimate taken for this to work? Is it only active when I myself personally have the buff applied to me?
2: Aspect of the Alpha (Turn them to werewolves and they use rabies)
How does the rabies modifier work for them as per your own rabies stats.
Eg: If I put points into the rabies passive to make it spread to more enemies does this impact theirs?
3: Do werewolf crits count as your own crits like if you have a modifier that says when you crit when the pets crit does that proc?
1: When you get the buff your wolves will also get it.
2: People on reddit were saying that your wolves don’t apply rabies they only help spread the rabies you already have applied to the enemies.
3: I don’t even know if wolves can crit (without the Nighthowler’s Aspect). I had wolves attack 3 mobs infected by poison for 8 attacks and they didn’t crit once (I had 25% crit chance). Nighthowler’s Aspect gives 5-10% crit to everyone around including companions.

I just tested the Werewolf companions and rabies now.
Took poison creeper off my skill bar and walked into a mob of 3.
The werewolf companions started attacking then I saw one bite into one applying rabies, it then spread to the other enemies. During this time I just ran around in circles.
So I can confirm the werewolf companions apply and spread rabies
Additon:
Messed around the the number of skill points in rabies vs a vampiric elite ( was very convenient since he stayed alive bit longer from the healing ) and I left only 1 point into rabies ( with gear this resulted in total of 5 points in rabies ) vs maxed ( 9 points total) and I did notice a difference in the poison tick damage.
Also changed the Rabies skills from spread faster to the shorter duration and the shorter duration and it affected Rabies applied by the companions (and increased damage ticks since its dealing total damage in 4 sec instead of 6 sec)

Where do you land that werewolf companion leggo? I’ve been trying to farm it and haven’t had any luck. Is it based on WT?
Wildrage I have too many copies of, total RNG.
Other one? I only have one of and I’m… very protective over it =x I have only one… afte rall these hours… it’s very concerning.
The only companion leggo I got is a ring that give you 1 extra of each companion. I’d like the Alpha one to make my wolves become werewolves and then I can build off that with poison builds.
I have at least two of each of these (wolves are were wolves, and extra companion). The biggest issue with wolf companions is they die far too easily to be of any use.
Did you have to have your rabies slotted into the skill bar?
It has been awhile since I did this, but I going to say I believe I did that previous testing with rabies on my skill bar.
What skills do you equip, I don’t have room for rabies even w/o an ult? Blood Howl, Creeper, Wolves, Bulwark, Claw, Shred. I guess I could drop blood howl, but I’d hate to lose the attack speed boost as well as the crit chance buff from aspect.
I’ve noticed in town, sometimes when I swap skills around the wolves will stay despite not having the wolf active on the skill bar. But, that feels like a potential exploit so I don’t do it.
