A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
The constantly depleting mana is a resource system unique to the werewolf. It's what makes it different and stand out to builds like pounce zon/sin and the reason it is way more powerful than those builds in the first place. Removing that mechanic is not something that we are looking to do. The changes coming to this build next patch are two fold:

1) You won't be able to equip jewellery with mana regen post morph and reverse the mana degen. To compensate Mana Pulse will grant significantly more mana compared to before - it will now fill up your entire mana bulb in 2 hits.

2) Werewolf single target has been buffed greatly to enable you to kill bosses better without a respec and Harbinger damage is increased slightly to compensate for the fact that you are not casting it all the time but have to switch to mana pulse every now and then.

Perfect! Both my hopes are true. I do enjoy the idea of the mana degen, but with the current exploits it was like.. whats the point? Now that this has been taken care of, and mana pulse actually leeching a decent amount, I'm excited to try wolf as first character this ladder, depending on how different stormzon is. (Or if mana sorc got buffed again.)

Plz... REMOVE THE AXE WEAPON REQUIREMNT IN THUNDERSLAM.... Thunder slam should be a common attack for barb: it's the bread and butter control skill... I only can understand that requiremnt oriented to forcé weapon switch between attacks. HOWEVER, not al players have fast fingers....

I would say it again: NO WEAPON REQUIREMENT IN THUNDER SLAM PLZ
