He seems the most useless character in DST. For one, the beaverness meter seems really unintuitive. More importantly, I can't really find a single perk of the DST werebeaver form.

It no longer resets stats to fixed values. Sanity drains very quickly as a werebeaver over the course of a full moon and often when reverting you are too far from your things to effectively deal with the shadow creatures. Werebeaver form has no armor and a fast but comparatively weak attack so he is not suited for most fights. Lastly, he still retains the drawback of solo Woodie in that he misses out on the full moon, the most useful time for fireflies, blue shrooms, beefalo and Glommer.

Basically, when I am on DST and see people playing as Woodie, my first guess is that they are probably expecting the DS Woodie and haven't yet figured out how bad he is in multiplayer. Sometimes I click "random" character for fun, but whenever I get Woodie it's just frustration the whole time. Can anyone else relate some better multiplayer experiences with him?
