Question about werewolves

[jukabfa21]

Do I need to care about leveling at all?

Like, can I just use the woof form to do all combat and ignore the leveling?

Since Woof form has its own magicka and health and you can get more damage with perks and the ring from Solstheim.

That will depend on what werewolf mods you have installed, if any.

 

As I recall, base game werewolf does not improve much, so you have much less in the way of health or damage compared to higher level enemies.  Earlier in the game the base werewolf certainly does a lot better.
