You know wolves are overpowered when:
1. You can defeat three bandits but die due to a lone wolf.
2. It can tank you even when you repeatably bash in it's head with an ax but it still wins.
3. When it can swim under you in water and come out you and still kill you.

Yeah, just glad for quick save.

OP, one thing to remember is non-spear melee weapons have a block, default bind is right click.

when you are hit while you are blocking, you lose stamina instead of health. with the way animals charge you now, my strategy is to block while sidestepping, then quickly advance and swing as the wolf (or boar) overshoots you and turns around.

of course, ideally, you'll want to use a box/ crossbow to kill your target before they get into melee range.

Thanks for all of your ideas.

With spear I will be holding the secondary key down (prone to throw) as the wolf charges I'll side step, spin 180 and head shot the wolf, it's both close and turns slow.

Only animal that nearly managed to kill me was a fox once as I didn't see it approach and it was so below my point of view that I was turning around to see where it's coming fron not realising it's already chewing on my ankles. Looked down in time to give it a friendly reminder who is the alpha.
Wolves are a joke, running in 2m circles around you not able to hit you :D

Any single animal can be dealt with by sidestepping its first attack and then running behind it and stabbing it in the butt. Their turn speed is so low that they can never reach you once you're behind them.

works perfect against one. Unfurtunally the new System let them attack before they smell you
