Who uses Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a three-socket helm runeword that requires the rare Cham rune, making it difficult to obtain despite the other runes being mid- to low-level. When worn, strikes in Werewolf form grant a Mark of the Wolf, adding attack rating and increasing maximum life, while Werebear strikes grant a Mark of the Bear, boosting attack speed. These marks last 180 seconds, offering a flexible boost depending on the shape-shifting form used.
