Druid skill · level 1Not against playersPassive - improves duration and life when in werewolf or werebear form.
Lycanthropy is the Druid's level 1 Shape Shifting passive, requiring Werewolf; it unlocks nothing. The table calls it "Shape Shifting". It has no cast and no mana: it adds duration and maximum life to Werewolf and Werebear while you are in either form. The two numbers are +40 seconds and +20% life at level 1 and +420 seconds and +115% life at level 20.

Both lines read lvl, so +skills from items count. The forms read Lycanthropy's lines, not the other way round: Werewolf's and Werebear's duration is 1000 + Shape Shifting.ln12 frames and their life is their own flat percentage plus Shape Shifting.ln34.
The Basin's page records the older values: in the 1.10–1.13 era the lines were 15 + 5 × slvl life and 20 + 20 × slvl seconds, which are the same numbers as today's.
Lycanthropy does nothing in human form. The moment you cast a form, its duration is the form's 40 seconds plus Lycanthropy's seconds, and its life bonus is the form's own flat percentage plus Lycanthropy's: for a wolf 25% + Lycanthropy, for a bear 75% + Lycanthropy, both applied as item_maxhp_percent, the same stat as Increase Maximum Life on gear. The whole is one bonus on your Life.
Because the life is a percentage of your maximum, it grows with everything that raises the base, see Life, Mana and Stamina by Class.
The life bonus ends with the form: dropping to human form, or the form running out, takes it away at once.
No synergies: nothing reads Lycanthropy as a synergy, and it reads nothing. It is itself the term in two other skills' lines, Werewolf's and Werebear's, and both of those read it as lvl, so a +3 Shape Shifting pelt adds 60 seconds and 15% life to the form.
Lycanthropy never touches a player; it lengthens your forms and raises your life in them. See Player versus Player for how your own hits are cut.
