So I had a bit of time to kill, and these are a few of the builds I've thought of / ripped off from other people. This is with entirely shop bought weapons, and was done using [url=http://kepner.freeweb7.com/PW/StatsBuilderAlphaV2.4.html:2eb42]this simulator[/url:2eb42], so results aren't guaranteed to be right. All of these were done using the werefox level 105 option. I'll start off with the standards:
Pure int, Min Str:

This was done with a min str for the best storebought weapon, the level 99 wheel. 54 str and the rest int.
Equipment was the best magic armor possible, with the exception of the hat which used a 50 str req hp helm. Accessories were all defence equipment, so stats can be modified by subtracting 438 physical defence and adding 438 points to magic defence, or subtracting 438 physical defence and adding 280 evasion. The poor defence and hp make this fox a rather easy target, but it'll level fastest with the help of a pet to tank.
Min Str, Min int, Rest con (Hybrid):

This was done with 54 str, 297 int, and rest con. About double the hp of the pure int build, while losing about 300 magic attack points.

Light Mail build:

This was done with 100 str, 100 dex, min int to hold the wheel(297), and the rest into con.
Equipment was the best light mail possible, with enough int to still hold the best store-bought magic weapon in the game. While it does lose 1600 hp in comparison to the hybrid int/con build, it also gains 1200 defence while not sacrificing any magic attack. A worthwhile trade off in my opinion.
Equipment was the best light armor possible, again with the best hp helm used instead of a mage helm. Physical defence accessories were used, so subtracting 438 physical defence and adding 438 magic defence or 280 evasion is an option.
Light Mail build v2:
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p210/Senovit/Games/LightMail2.jpg
This was done with 100 str, min int to hold the wheel (297), and the rest into dex. The idea here was to take advantage of evasion. Evasion jumps by about 300 points, but hp suffers by 500. Is it worth the price? I'm still unsure about just how much someone with 800 evasion can dodge as opposed to someone with 1300, but I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's worth the 400 hp / 400 defence tradeoff.
Equipment was the exact same as light mail v1, but this time evasion accessories were used instead. Subtracting 280 evasion and adding 438 physical or magical defence is an option, and might be a better course of action. Using physical defence accessories would equalize the defence with the light mail v1 build, but still retain around 1100 evasion, then all you need to worry about is the drop in hp for the gain in evasion.
Heavy Mail build:
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p210/Senovit/Games/Heavymail.jpg
This was done with 242 str, 96 int, 52 dex, and 150 con. 242 str and 52 dex being the min stats for heavy mail armor, 96 int for the min requirements of a moderate staff, and 150 con for the hp boost. This has a monstrous 4065 defence, along with 4500 hp. However, it has a very weak attack, on both the physical and the magical fronts.
When making this I assumed the player would be using fox form to melee attack, so physical attack rings were used. Alternatively, 2 magic attack rings could be used for 154 more magic and 154 less physical. Adding evasion would probably be completely useless. In short, this build is the werefox's tank. People will attack and assume you will die in a few easy hits, but you'll be able to survive for an unexpectedly long time. I could see this build of werefox acting as a decoy in pk parties, but unfortunately it won't be able to do very much on its own. Pets would have to be heavily relied upon for damage.
Heavy Mail build v2:
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p210/Senovit/Games/HeavyMail2.jpg
This was done with 242 str, 237 int, and 52 dex, with 4 points left over. Here I just stuck them into con, but it doesn't really matter where they go. Add them to str for a few more points of damage, or con for a few more points of hp.
I like this build better than v1. Although it sacrifices about half of it's predecessor's hp, it keeps its relatively huge defence which when combined with bramble array's 75% damage reduction could keep you alive indefinitely. Its magical and physical attacks are also much better. Here physical attack accessories were used since I assumed these players would be fox form the majority of the time, but subtract 154 phys attack and add 154 more magic and it remains only a few hundred magic attack points behind the light mail build. Physical defence accessories were also used, so they could easily be replaced with magic defence accessories for an extra 438 magic defence. I wouldn't recommend using evasion accessories with this build.
Of course there are many more hybrids you can make between any two of these, such as sacrificing str for more int in order to use the best weapon along with whatever heavy mail is available with your stats.
Other notes: I don't really see any use for the fox form. It has a horrendously low attack no matter what assuming a magic weapon has to be used, and even removing high attack from account it has a horribly low hit rate as well. Are the fox skills really worth trying to become a melee attacker?
