I wonder if the werewolves you summon are more powerful depending on your level
I do not know for sure, but I know not only do they one-shot most types of bandits (which btw they added more bandit types too that are very strong)
But they tank damage for you, as enemies always focus on them. So no more worries about getting kille by stupid arrows if you summon them first.
The health perk makes you pretty tough also.
I only have the first two damage perks and can already tear through everything, power is going to be incredible when maxed out.
