I feel like it depends on the character because of the enhancements (anything magic is vampire lord anything else is werewolf). I think the vampire lords are better during the nighttime and werewolves during daytime. The vampire lord can probably destroy the werewolf in a fight with its spells. Mainly the telekinetic grab and paralysis but it also has bat cloaks and can avoid the werewolves attacks with bat mists. Its claws do 25 poison damage if you have the perk and the drain health spell is phenomenal if serana isnt following you. On top of that the vampire lord can fly so it doesnt have to worry too much about the werewolf knock-back power attack and he can also waterwalk. They can also use the raise corpse spells. Dont get me wrong because i hate being a vampire unless im a vampire lord because of the sun weaknesses i know i can use auriels bow but it gets annoying ecspecially on solstheim with the ashy skies., but im talking about both creatures in there transformed forms. Which do you think is better for the player character and which do you think would win a fight against the other?

Depends on who's the highest level and has the most perks. If all things were equal, I'd probably vote for the Vampire Lord with their spells and different forms. If it was strictly hand to hand, the werewolf would win, but I think all the extras give the Lord an edge. I stick with the were though given my play style. Besides, I like dogs, not dead rats. :)

If you would pit them against each other in reallife with their ingame abilities Iwould hae to put my money on the vampire lord, because they do have power and one of those powers is supernatural reflexes, te werewolf would never touch and especially if the Vampire Lord whent and began walking on water, the Werewolf would not be able to do anythingwhile the vampire lord blasts it with blood magic, the werewolf is equal to a vampire not a vampire lord, they are on a completely different level
 
In my opinion I think the Vampire Lord is better for the player, so long as you don't mind the sun weakness or if you have Auriel's Bow. Players call it god mode for a reason :) As for which would win in a fight, I'd say the Vampire Lord would as long as it manages to keep its distance. If the werewolf gets close enough then it's game over for our vampire.

you just have to go and float on water and the werewolf is screwed

I said that the Vampire Lord would float over water where the werewolf could not attack them and then the vampire will blast the werewolf with blood magic while the werewolf is stuck on land and the vampire lord is in the one spot the werewolf cant attack them, the werewolf would be screwed

Again. If my enemy was hovering over water I wouldnt be near him. I would get behind cover such as a hill or a big tree.

Is that so, The Vampire lord would just wait for you to return to your human form then he would go after you and catch you in the vampiric grip as he slowly chockes you to death, the Vampire lord is superior to a Lycanthropein everyway, even the Deadra they were created by is more powerful so they themselves are more powerful and unlike a werebeast a vampire has all the time in the world as they re immortal and the werewolves are not and those you are immortal are superior to those who are not.

Ok just make up scenarios to favor the vampire lord just because you want it to win. There are infinate possibilities when it comes to battle. Who's to say there aren't a whole pack of werewolves or who's to say the vampire lord has vampire thralls to help him out. There isn't really a way to predict the outcome. I'm done arguing because it is a pointless argument.

This is a tough call. I might have to throw myself at Harkon as a Werewolf to get an idea, but you people don't put enough faith in the wolf. Wolves have aa huge stamina pool, and someone devoted to the build would also have a substantial amount of health. Werewolves are also extremely fast and agile, and they have all thr instincts and reflexes of a dominant predator. They would be able to dodge projectiles quite easily. It would be a massive chase, but if a werewolf got close to the Vampire Lord at any point, it would be over extremely quickly and violently. I would think a spellcaster build would have a lot of magicka, and not invest so many points in hp while relying on hp drain. Also, if it hovered over water, I'd run off and relocate, and then you have a game of cat and mouse when the lord comes hunting. In that situation, the werewolf has every advantage. You're not hunting just some brute, you're hunting a predatory animal, likely in their hunting territory. It would be an extremely close fight, but if either one made a mistake it would be gameover almost instantly. However, if neither one made a mistake, I'd say the werewolf would come out on top.

Just my two cents and tactical analysis.

I agree completely.

Or the werewolf would simply not go into the water. Think of that?
I wouldn't. I'm a werewolf and I hate the smell of wet dog. Besides, there is nothing better than being a werewolf and ripping through a bunch of vampires. :) As long as they don't go all Lord and start flying, vamps are pushovers. If I can catch the Lord I can tear him to pieces. It's catching him that's the problem. Plus, at least in Volkahar there are humans I can feed off of to boost my health (those vamps don't help at all!).

Im talking about 1 on 1(unless its by conjuration) full perks same level. Even while as a transformed werewolf the vampire can still grip him im pretty sure. ive done it do a giant.

I have never used a Vampire Lord transformation before. How does the Grip mechanic work?

if the werewolf can dodge the projectiles there is still the grip. Id have to say that that is the best power of the vampire lord. The werewolf can be tossed down anything right after being choked and possibly while being choked drained as well. If the vampire lord didnt have the grip i would say werewolf.

Again, how does the mechanic work? Do you have to aim it?

You have to get the perk by either doing multiple bite attacks or the drain health which is easier and unlock the spell than use it as a normal telekinesis spell. it basically holds the enemy in front of you as if you were holding an extremely light dead animal like a fox when it was dead. while doing that the victim is losing health and is subjected to explosive drain health spells and once you let go of the spell button they go flying possibly off of a very high spot. the only downside is that its a tad expensive in the magicka pool but if you are a spell caster then it shouldn't be a problem. Its mechanic is like a ward almost and all it needs is a victim to get in that direction and close enough (which is pretty far)

Gah, beat me to it :p But yeah this pretty much sums it up, well said.

I see. Well then there are three possibilities for a werewof to come out on top. One, he uses ambush tactics utilizing his superior senses, instincts, and lay of the land. Two, he manages to avoid the grip dodging from cover to cover (which isn't likely). And three, the grip is stupid and werewolves hunt in packs. You grip the first werewolf, its mate takes you out while your back is turned.
