Since I have a Reaper focusing on Werewolf without modifiers, meaning pure piercing+bleeding damage, it’s nice that now we have a set to support this playstyle, too.
The set has less +bleeding damage% now, but has +piercing damage%. Also, vitality damage conversion to piercing. It has both extra bleeding and piercing damage modifiers to Feral Claws, plus a synergy with Phantasmal Blades. It also gives modifiers to Phantasmal Blade (more piercing+bleeding damage) and piercing-bleeding resistance reduction to Devouring Swarm.
The synergy with Phantasmal Blade is a strange idea. I have not thought about making a ranged attacker Werewolf build - right now my build is a hit-and-run one using Leap and Rip and Tear to get in and out of enemy groups then leave them to bleed out. I’ll experiment with that.
At any rate, the bonuses to Nightblade are more than to Shaman. That seems more of a second thought.
