I play it because it is unusual, and because it works much better than I expected. With weak gear it is rough, so I recommend leveling as something else and swapping to the werewolf once you have a good talisman. The rotation is the one from the general guide, and nothing changes in it.

Two ascendancy notables are the reason to play it. Called ShotsCalled ShotsSkill gemApplies a socketed Mark Skill to a nearby unmarked Enemy every few seconds. Consuming socketed Marks will cause them to be reapplied to an unmarked Enemy.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is a skill that automatically marks nearby enemies with a Mark gem socketed into it. We socket Sniper’s MarkSniper's MarkSkill gemMark a target. The next Critical Hit the target receives Activates the Mark, Consuming it to deal extra damage and grant you a Frenzy Charge.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, so we are constantly marking, and every critical hit against a marked enemy deals extra damage and gives us a Frenzy Charge. Gathering WindsGathering WindsPassive skillGain Tailwind on Skill useLose all Tailwind when HitPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 gives us TailwindTailwindGame mechanicGrants 1% increased movement speed, 2% increased Skill Speed, 10% increased Evasion Rating and prevent 1% of Damage from Deflected Hits per stack. Maximum 10 stacks.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, a stacking buff that grants movement speed, skill speed, and evasion rating. A melee character uses skills so fast that the stacks fill almost instantly, and because we stack evasion, we are rarely hit and rarely lose them. Between the two, the DeadeyeDeadeyeAscendancy classRanger ascendancyCalled Shots: applies a socketed Mark to a nearby unmarked enemy every few secondsGathering Winds: gain Tailwind on skill use, lose all Tailwind when hitBullseye: apply 10 Critical Weakness when consuming a MarkProjectile Proximity Specialisation: choose Far Shot or Point BlankPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 gets more speed than any other werewolf.

For defence we lean on evasion and deflection.

Evasion builds have one weakness: deflection is capped at 95%, so every so often a hit gets through at full size.

For damage we go all in on critical hits. The Spiny TalismanSpiny TalismanTalisman baseTalisman base with 5% base weapon Critical Hit Chance.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 has a high base critical hit chance, the jewels and the tree add critical hit chance and critical damage bonus, and Charge RegulationCharge RegulationSkill gemWhile active, you gain powerful Buffs based on your active Charges.

The flat attack damage on the gloves and rings, plus extra damage from the talisman’s runes, supplies the rest.
