Strategy[]
Howl is a key utility skill for Berserkers due to its variety of debuffs and fairly wide range. Enemies affected by Howl will move and attack more slowly, allowing players greater room to dodge their attacks.
On top of slowing enemies, however, Howl also increases damage enemies take, which also stacks with Frost Breath and "Decrease Armor" effects, allowing players to take down tankier enemies more quickly.
