New shoulder essence for werewolf is a joke

  • Lethal Embrace (Shoulders): Transforming into a Werewolf increases your Evasion Rating by 1% for 1,5 seconds for every 1 Primal Power you currently have, up to maximum of 28,5%.

This is how it look with level 4 essence mastery. The problem is that someone probably ‘accidentally added’ a comma between 1 and 5. :rofl:
In the best case scenario, you can extend this buff to about ~2.5 seconds, or even less,
where the Blood Knight head essence ( Voice of the Crescent ) skill itself gives a buff for 12 seconds and with vithu and other magic attributes easily for over 16 seconds?
Although I understand that this is unfair, because the druid buff is supposed to give 28.5% and the blood knight only 22.8%
Right now it looks like this: I use werewolf form to get the buff and after 2 seconds I have to exit it, then use it again after 5 seconds (because there is a cooldown) to get the buff and it doesn’t matter if I have 100 primal power or the absolute minimum to enter werewolf form, the buff remains the same.
The fact that the buff is so short makes it useless.

This buff made no sense :smiley:
bk uses evasion for 16s and monk uses it for 8s even dh uses evasion for 10s but the druid’s has to be 1.5s :smiley:
If they were going to make such a useless essence, they shouldn’t have even put it in the game :smiley: they would have put something in its place… they had time to think of something and fix it…
and well they have a test server so IT’S NOT LIKE THEY CAN’T TEST THIS BEFORE PUTTING IT IN --’ I spent 400 loyalty points on this trash

Remember a few weeks ago when all the other classes were terrified that Druid would be outrageously dominant in PvP??
… I miss those days.

I absolutely agree that the ridiculously short duration renders the essence useless.
