There is a level 2 grey wolf skirmisher that makes a good start, and a good point to compare against your build. Using that to compare, your build is way overpowered.  The Wolf's basic attack reads:1D6+2 damage. If the wolf has combat advantage against the target, the target falls prone. A prone target takes 1d6 extra damage from this attack.I would be tempted to give a aura that causes adjacent enemies to grant combat advantage to allies of the Wolf.definitely drop the dark vision and group awareness. Wild step is a cool addition, one that I would grant to the normal monster most of the time.Also drop the Daily. that is too much for a mere wolf.More when I know more about your intent!</blockquote>
