Pounce
Shapeshift into a Werewolf and leap to a target location, damaging enemies in an area around where you land. Predator's Mark will be Triggered targeting the highest Rarity enemy Hit, or if a Mark gem is socketed into this Skill, that Mark will be Triggered instead. Using this Skill allows any Wolf Minions you have to leap immediately.
Good option that performs well in the right setup or as a levelling skill.

How to Use Pounce Effectively
Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip
AoE Clearing
Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.
Minion Scaling
Minions scale from specific gem/gear sources, not your own damage. Stack minion damage, life, and speed.
Cooldown Management
5s cooldown — weave with other skills. Cooldown Recovery Speed gear reduces the downtime significantly.
Duration Matters
Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
