^ The full shift is related to control, however it looks like there is also a big power boost. This was hinted/shown when Derek crushed the beserker's skull rather easily. The only other confirmed deaths to Beserekers was a claymore, and the other took hundreds of rounds of ammo. So compare both of those to the use of bare hands (and no signs of any werewolf traits showing) in his base form, and you can summize there could be a huge power boost in acheiving the full wolf shift
