The rotation is the one from the general guide, and nothing changes in it.

The ascendancy is the reason. Some classes only give you one or two meaningful choices and the rest are points you spend because you have to spend them. On the PathfinderPathfinderAscendancy classRanger ascendancyRelentless Pursuit: Your speed is unaffected by SlowsSustainable Practices: 50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionTraveller's Wisdom: Attribute Passive Skills can instead grant increased Damage, Armour/Evasion/Energy Shield or Cost EfficiencyPath Seeker: Can Allocate Passive Skills from the Sorceress's or Warrior's starting point and grants 4 Passive Skill PointsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 every choice is meaningful: one is for damage, one is for defence, and one is for both. Relentless PursuitRelentless PursuitPassive skillYour speed is unaffected by SlowsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is one of the main reasons I like it. Your speed is unaffected by slows, and slows are one of the biggest weaknesses of the werewolf. We go in face to face and we have to swipe to deal our damage, so being slowed hurts. We get this one for free from the ascendancy.

For defence we stack evasion, because Sustainable PracticesSustainable PracticesPassive skill50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 turns evasion into elemental damage reduction. Evasion alone has a weakness: you evade, evade, evade, get hit, and die, because you have few ways of mitigating the hit. So we add deflection, we take part of our damage from mana before life, we have the elemental damage reduction, and the Undying Hate Timeless JewelUndying Hate Timeless JewelUnique itemGlorifying the defilement of (79—30977) souls in tribute to AmanamuPassives in radius are Conquered by the AbyssalsDesecration makes this item unstablePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 turns the part of a hit we cannot stop into damage we take over time.

BerserkBerserkSkill gemWhile active, strengthens your Rage, but causes you to lose Life while not losing Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. We use it because it improves our damage and our defences a lot, and you do need life regeneration to play it.

Overwhelming PresenceOverwhelming PresenceSkill gemWhile active, emits an Aura that makes enemies in your Presence easier to Stun and inflict Elemental Ailments upon.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. We use rare gloves instead of a unique, and this aura makes enemies easier to stun and to inflict elemental ailments on, so we freeze things more easily.

Wind DancerWind DancerSkill gemWhile active, periodically grants stages of a buff that gives you more Evasion per stage. Being Hit by an Enemy while you have this buff consumes all stages to damage and Knock Back enemies around you.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. This is where we get more evasion.

Mana RemnantsMana RemnantsSkill gemConjure surging arcane energy to restore your Mana. While active, enemies you kill affected by Elemental Ailments have a chance to spawn a Mana Remnant, and Critically Hitting a target with Elemental Ailments spawns a Mana Remnant every few seconds. Picking up a Mana Remnant grants you Mana which can Overflow maximum Mana.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. This is what fixes our mana. When we critically hit, we drop a mana remnant, and we crit a lot while clearing, so we are getting remnants all the time. Mana is zero issue with this build. Harmonic Remnants IIHarmonic Remnants ISupport gemSupports Skills which create Remnants, allowing those Remnants to be collected from further away.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 and Remnant Potency IRemnant Potency ISupport gemSupports Skills which create Remnants, making those Remnants more powerful.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 support it.

These are the exact setups from the Full build. Hover any gem to see what it does.

The rare items below are described by what they give us, because the bases change for everyone depending on their resistances, attributes, and the rest of their gear. Besides the weapon and the jewellery, we want evasion on everything we wear.

Weapon. A rare Spiny TalismanSpiny TalismanTalisman baseTalisman base with 5% base weapon Critical Hit Chance.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. It has a high base critical hit chance, and this build goes full critical hits.

Helmet. A rare helmet with evasion. It has a Raven-Touched ShardRaven-Touched ShardAugmentHelmets: Raven-TouchedSocket-bound.

The rare jewel in that socket gives evasion as well.

Body armour. Morior InvictusMorior InvictusUnique item(300—400)% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield[3 Random Socket Modifiers]Has 4 Augment Sockets (Hidden)PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. A chest with more evasion would give more elemental damage reduction, but the opportunity cost is spirit and attributes, which we need. Maybe a rare chest with a lot of evasion that also has spirit and attributes is possible. Morior InvictusMorior InvictusUnique item(300—400)% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield[3 Random Socket Modifiers]Has 4 Augment Sockets (Hidden)PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 gives plus 7 to all attributes for every filled socket, and it helps with resistances across the board. Four sockets is nothing to scoff at, and I use them for Tecrod’s GazeTecrod's GazeUnique itemBody Armours: Regenerate 1.5% of maximum Life per secondGloves: 25% increased Life Cost EfficiencyBoots: 10% increased Movement Speed when on Low LifePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, which pays for BerserkBerserkSkill gemWhile active, strengthens your Rage, but causes you to lose Life while not losing Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0.

It increases the bonuses from both of our rings, and with them the attributes.

Rings. One of them is an Unset RingUnset RingRing baseGrants 1 additional Skill SlotPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 with all attributes and strength, for the extra skill slot. Ingenuity amplifies the attributes from both rings, and the wolf needs a lot of attributes.

Gloves. Rare evasion gloves. The Cadigan’s EpiphanyCadigan's EpiphanyRunePlace into an empty Augment Socket in a pair of Gloves to apply its effect to that item. Once socketed it cannot be retrieved or replaced.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 rune destroys the augment sockets and turns them into a jewel socket, and the EmeraldEmeraldJewelPlace into an allocated Jewel Socket on the Passive Skill Tree.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 in mine gives evasion.

Boots. Rare evasion boots.

AttributesAttributesPassive skillStrength, Dexterity, and Intelligence are the 3 primary attributes. The most important use of Attributes is to meet requirements to use Equipment and Gems.Each Attribute provides a different inherent bonus.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. The wolf is starved for attributes. It wants intelligence and strength, and since we are evasion based, we also need dexterity to equip the evasion pieces. Because Traveller’s WisdomTraveller's WisdomPassive skillAttribute Passive Skills can instead grant increased Damage, Armour/Evasion/Energy Shield or Cost EfficiencyPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 spends the small attribute nodes on damage, the attributes come from the gear.

The ascendancy comes first. Relentless PursuitRelentless PursuitPassive skillYour speed is unaffected by SlowsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is the first one, and on the way there we get skill speed. Then we get one passive skill point, and then Path SeekerPath SeekerPassive skillChoose one: Path of the Sorceress / Path of the WarriorPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. It lets us allocate passive skills from the starting point of the Warrior or the Sorceress, and above all it grants 4 passive skill points. We pick Path of the WarriorPath of the WarriorPassive skillCan Allocate Passive Skills from the Warrior's starting pointGrants 4 Passive Skill PointsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 for those points, because we do not use the Warrior or the Sorceress side of the tree. After that we get another passive skill point, then Traveller’s WisdomTraveller's WisdomPassive skillAttribute Passive Skills can instead grant increased Damage, Armour/Evasion/Energy Shield or Cost EfficiencyPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, and Sustainable PracticesSustainable PracticesPassive skill50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 after it. In total the ascendancy gives us 6 extra passive skill points, and an evasion node on the way.

Traveller’s WisdomTraveller's WisdomPassive skillAttribute Passive Skills can instead grant increased Damage, Armour/Evasion/Energy Shield or Cost EfficiencyPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is the damage. Normally the small nodes that grant strength, intelligence, or dexterity can instead be made to grant increased damage, armour, evasion, and energy shield, or cost efficiency. Every one of them in my tree grants 5% increased damage. I fix my mana and my defences elsewhere, and the amount of damage that gives us is insane. If you feel you are not tanky enough, you can come in and put increased armour, evasion, and energy shield on them, and if you need more mana, you can put cost efficiency. I have damage on every one of them.

Sustainable PracticesSustainable PracticesPassive skill50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is the defence. 50% of our evasion rating also grants elemental damage reduction, and it does not depend on evading. We have the elemental damage reduction across the board just by stacking evasion, so we stack evasion. When you play the PathfinderPathfinderAscendancy classRanger ascendancyRelentless Pursuit: Your speed is unaffected by SlowsSustainable Practices: 50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionTraveller's Wisdom: Attribute Passive Skills can instead grant increased Damage, Armour/Evasion/Energy Shield or Cost EfficiencyPath Seeker: Can Allocate Passive Skills from the Sorceress's or Warrior's starting point and grants 4 Passive Skill PointsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 you want to go evasion because of it, unless you could pick something else, and the other options in the ascendancy are bad for a werewolf. One is about not being heavily stunned while sprinting and moving slower while using skills, and we stand in place when we attack. The others are poison, concoctions, and keeping life flask effects while life is full, and none of them matters here. That is why I picked Sustainable PracticesSustainable PracticesPassive skill50% of Evasion Rating also grants Elemental Damage reductionPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, and I wanted it anyway.

That is also why the tree goes down the evasion side and not the Warrior or Sorceress side. I did the Path of Building calculations for moving 20 points over to the Sorceress side and for starting from the Warrior side. Do not do that. Do not torture yourself. Go evasion and crit.

One gives a large bonus to evasion rating if we have been hit recently and a penalty if we have not, and the other does the reverse. With both, one of them is always paying out and the other is costing less, so we have a net increase to evasion rating whether we have been hit or not. LucidityLucidityPassive skill8% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life+15 to IntelligencePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 makes 8% of our damage taken from mana before life, which is a lot of tankiness, and Mana RemnantsMana RemnantsSkill gemConjure surging arcane energy to restore your Mana. While active, enemies you kill affected by Elemental Ailments have a chance to spawn a Mana Remnant, and Critically Hitting a target with Elemental Ailments spawns a Mana Remnant every few seconds.

When we take damage from hits, 20% of the life loss is prevented, and then we lose 150% of what was prevented over 4 seconds. So we do not take 100% of the hit at once, we take 80%, and the rest arrives slowly, which doesn’t matter because we have a lot of regeneration and a flask to press. It is basically a one-shot prevention mechanic, and it covers the hits that evasion and deflection let through.
