Witcher 3 - All Witcher Armor Ranked WORST to BEST

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

I always loved the Bear School armor even before the update because of its looks. Long trench coat with scarf is a nice aesthetic. Only problem I have with it is I don’t like the way the boots look so I use the Wolven boots. Gives Geralt a cool Van Hellsing vibe.

[@ddenny6863]

So I did a new + play-through and the bear armor is now not as great as what I pick up. Do you need to go through again and rebuild the same armor for it to be better?

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

@@ddenny6863 Yeah, New Game+ you have to rebuild all the witcher armor for it to be good as NG+ introduces higher level armors, weapons, swords & quests.

It looks cool, but my problem with it is that (especially in nextgen) it makes geralt look cartoonish

[@wombat4191]

At least the Venoumous Viper swords are possibly the best witcher swords, having the best crit stats out of all of them and a good poison chance on top of that. The problem just is that if you don't care about set bonuses, there are better swords to use, like Aerondight and Toussaint Knight sword.

It gives you complete immunity to poison though which I guess is one less thing to worry about

[@Muninnnr]

Grandmaster Griffin Armor with the right runes and potions turns the game into a cake walk at even the highest difficulty with enemy level scaling. Combine it with the Ancient Leshen and Ekhidna decoctions (increased stamina generation for every sign cast during a fight and regain health whenever stamina is used) and you can throw out a constant barrage of signs while healing all the while.

[@Bubbletea_69]

Yeah car armor reminds me of the Witcher 2 especially with the hoodie

[@unknownpack5717]

Cat armor combined with a combat/ alchemy build centred around metamorphosis, you can cut down enemies with whirl whilst replenishing health with decoctions based on damage output. It's super OP and you don't even have to dodge at that point.

[@jonnenne]

Imo cat armor is the only option. Witcher 3 is a fairly easy game and you should just max dmg output. Taking lethal damage is super rare because dodging is easy. Combat also gets easier as the game progresses.

[@Ramona_57]

for me the cat build is the fairest, because as you said it is the one that gives Geralt a lot of damage with his swords, but nothing more, making the use of signs become something much more strategic and the chance of dying in the game along with the difficulty still remain to some extent, you deal a lot of damage, but you can die if you are not careful.Of course considering a fully combat focused build with no alchemy or signals, but my favorite is the manticore because of a simple think. **CABOOM**

I always loved the look of fully upgraded Ursine (Bear) gear, paired with Levity for a solid swords and alchemy playstyle. For the lore, I like to think after the base game, Geralt is a bit of an "aging" witcher, reflexes are getting slower so he puts more value on his armour. After all, he might also value his own life a little bit more, he does have a "family", sort of, with either one of the romance options and Ciri, and also a nice place to call home. :)

[@atinity6749]

I went through the whole list going "that's my favorite armor! No, _that's_ my favorite armor!" And ironically the best armor was the bear armor, the one I completely forgot and never use. I like cat armor, and potion and sign builds. Bear armor is clunky. I will try that trick to get it to work like a light armor tho. Mayhaps it will magically turn it into my new favorite armor set 😂

​@@kater92 Its not really a signs build, just quen (i still die preaty fast on Blood and Broken Bones), alternate yrden when enemy is far with occasional igni when enemies are close to each other - this makes you think about when to use what and it makes combat fun in my opinion

[@eldibs]

Before the next-gen upgrade, I liked to run half Wolf and half Griffin, because I used the triple blade oil perk a lot and I liked the idea of the double-casting. In practice I didn't find myself double-casting a lot, so I may end up switching to the Bear armor just for the adrenaline point gain since the Wolf perk was moved to a skill that I already ran (Fixative).

[@wombat4191]

Nice part about the bonus moving to Fixative is that it's not a pure QOL skill anymore. You rarely have to fight multiple enemy types at once, but when you do, the triple oil is very helpful. And of course it also adds to the QOL aspect even more.

[@eldibs]

@@wombat4191 Right? I ran Fixative and the Wolf perk just for QOL, so I wasn't having to change oils all the time for general exploration. Keeping the QOL benefit and freeing me up to get another bonus on top of that is very nice.

after the update with the changes to how to use signs i immediately wanted to use a sign build, the griffin set also in my opinion looks good at all levels as well so that was a bonus, really enjoyed that play through

10:11 You're not alone. With a proper color fully upgraded gear looks awesome. It looks like a real armor, no like a biker jacket or trench coat, or pseudo assassin's creed armor. Also signs on a next-gen feels fantastic.

[@ToVoMo]

I'd argue Witcher's aren't meant to use "real armour". They would only use light armour so they can have mobility and have some form of protection if by chance they get hit. imo, Griffin does not feel like a Witcher armour. The armour set that closely resembles a witcher armour in my eyes is Mastercrafted Feline armour, Viper armour or the starter armour. that being said, I absolutely love the Griffin aside from the looks tho.

Witcher 1 and 2 have even more true to the books and lore armors than pretty much any armors you can find in Witcher 3

[@hjorturerlend]

Regarding the Wolf Armor and the sign + sword build being sub-optimal, I appreciate the little extra challenge and just like fighting that way so it works out fine for me. It also looks the most like clothing.

[@Alpha_Synergy]

Personally, I loved using the grandmaster level Griffin armor. Combined with the right perks, such as the potion perk that lets you have more resistance to toxicity the more filled out your recipe list is and the super-powerful Aard that deals frost damage to enemies. I loved this set for my playthrough once I got it fully upgraded.

[@BL4D3RUNN3R0M3N]

Cat school set will always be my favorite. Love the playstyle of having to dodge around to avoid blows, using signs, oils, and tonics just to stay alive, all while dealing insane damage from a flurry of blows. Really feels like what a Witcher should fight like.

[@renejuren2398]

I liked the forgotten armor focusing on yrden and aard playstyle. I have not watched season 2 and was not very pleasantly surprised how the armor changed looks so dramatically but most of the enemies died in 2 fast aards and yrden was surprisingly powerfull too to me. The endgame then became quite boring. I imagine going full bear and watch them kill themselves or rend everything is not screaming action too though.

[@celuiquipeut6527]

This is why i gimp myself with the gear. I use melee build mostly. I added qlchemy because its strong but i divided in sign too. I only increase the jedi mind trick. I level up the shield. And i only use the variant of the ydren (like just add point to the variant skill). It gives me a oh shit button. But i have to "be a witcher" dodge everything, ise appropriate potion and keep the game fun. And my strongest asset is sword fight. I was thinking about ysing the wolf set. But if i am too strong, i will just mix and match what i like visually.

[@antonm5539]

You're not alone in liking Griffin set looks. Aesthetically there is nothing in the game that comes close to it dyed white. It's absolutely luxurious combination of golden etchings on white field makes it worthy of royalty. Also its utility is outstanding, allowing builds that totally annihilate any number of foes without even use of sword leaving them no chance to touch Geralt.

[@craigbolton2231]

I don't like the bear set that much as it just doesn't feel like a witcher armor. What I love about Wolf set is that it is best of all. Moderately every stats is good in it.

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

My favourite set has always been the manticore set followed closely by the bear set. They both just offer a playstyle that feels fun to me especially when combined with the levity perk.

Something about the cat set that you didn't mention is that on top of the normal pieces it also has a crossbow that contributes to the set bonus, meaning you can replace one of your other pieces with something else and still get the full bonus like replacing the silver sword with Aerondight.

Great video. Would be interested in seeing a video about builds that mix different gear pieces. For example in the old gen some people were using the new moon pants or the nilfgaardian gauntlets in alchemy builds with great success. Maybe similar things can be done in the new gen with alchemy or other builds.

[@tremapar]

Mixing? Here's one I recently put together for a late-game hybrid build: Incorporate just once piece of Manticore armor into your set. Personally I am using a couple unique swords, and three pieces of Wolf gear, and Manticore gloves. But it really does not matter if you want to choose a different 3 piece set for its bonus. The reason I did this is the +5 toxicity will put you from 184 to 189 max, after Acquired Tolerance and the Toussaint formulae. Now, without the yellow toxicity perk, and with Heightened Tolerance, you can safely run 3 decoctions instead of 2. Combined with Metamorphosis and Crippling Strikes, I very quickly reach 8 decoctions in any fight. Keep only your 8 top choices brewed to guarantee they're selected every time. Not saying this is OP or anything. Clearly things like what the video shows with pure Griffin or Bear are still stronger. But this is single player combat and everyone can do what they want for roleplay fun. I just enjoyed finding this little number trick with a simple +5 tox unlocking an additional decoction within safety. It feels nice not needing the yellow toxicity perk which makes your mutagen benefits less efficient.

[@kingofruby8162]

The best build vid sounds great you should definitely do it

[@XzaroX]

I used to spam aard frost with the Griffin set back in the day. It would obliterate everything, until I went into NG+ and everyone became resistant to everything. I hope they addressed that.

[@enfieldno.4242]

I loved the tesham mutna armour from blood and wine. It just looked so cool and the graphic of you absorbing life from dead foes was pretty lit

[@TheHomieBaca]

I always just go Wolven Grandmaster dyed black in my mind thats what cannon

[@gemmagraham1800]

I would literally watch anything you put out. Your voice is very soothing 🫣

[@cskarr77]

Piercing cold + entanglement w/forgotten wolf 6 piece bonus is what got me through lvl scaled deathmarch.

[@JoyBoyAlter]

Please do a build ranking/guide video. I didn't know half of what was mentioned in this video, so a build video would be super helpful

[@Aaron-yu9vp]

Would definitely love to see a video about builds! Hope you do it

[@enterprisecrypto2683]

Grandmaster Bear for Quen buff > regular Manticore for the aesthetics > Griffin > Cat > Wolf > everything else.

[@Memu_]

Since I don't have much experience with optimizing builds I'd love to see a video on the topic.

[@venkateshwaran861]

A build ranking video would be so helpful, i'm always so torn between different approaches i wanna take

[@iender9629]

Yes Mr please do make such a video in which you show off 10 comprehensible builds. First and only run I did so far was just running in through, not caring a bit about my equipment, looking forward to increase difficulty in a new run to actually make use of the combat system etc

[@noahmaas1670]

Currently finishing my third platinum of TW3 and in all of my experience trying builds I have to say the Griffin set is definitely my go to. With the grandmaster bonuses and sign intensity options you can absolutely melt almost every opponent without even getting hit - which means no trips to repair your equipment either. There is something very satisfying about facing a menacing opponent and deleting them without Geralt even getting scratched.

[@ridwanpriyotomo4166]

Me too.. it's fun.. set yrden and just spam ard!! 😂

[@Anonymousduck161]

I love the Hen Gaidth armor. It’s a great throwback to Gary Oldman in Dracula and the perks are pretty good all around.

[@mctapper3112]

Bad taste

[@Helifax19]

Yes Please!!! A build ranking video would be awesome! Great video as always! Kudos

[@robeeteam3399]

I love the viper armor,it just looks cool. second is manticore and third is plain shirt when Geralt is doing relaxing activities or strolling through town.

[@billyjean3118]

Yes we definitely want a video on best builds!! Can’t wait!!

[@KnightRonin0103]

Great video! I can’t get away from a sign build with the Griffin set. It’s devastating! But now after your video I should look into the Ursine set.

[@sputnikboy22]

id love to see that top 10 builds video. Absolutely love your work. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@HazardRoz]

9:30 hell yeah! for my 4th playthrough xD

[@womp4275]

Would definitely dig a builds video, I'm getting back into the game but never really made a 'build' per say, but it'd be great to have more information on what makes a good build from someone who's played a lot.

[@adamkam123]

very good, substantive video! Good job, very professionall!

[@Hybe123]

I would love a 10 best builds video since I am a type of guy that always loved cat school armor and euphoria build I gravitated towards it naturally without googleing builds or anything, and trying to figure out other stuff was never satisfying :D

[@mangaka7711]

i think mix of wolf and griffin gear with sings and adrenalin perks is pretty good

[@SassenachSchatz]

I'm one of those who hate how the Griffin armor looks but its my favorite set by far. Sign builds can be so OP even with the recent nerfs and I can't use anything else. Also can't wait for Legacy and already subscribed to your channel! Great video as always.

[@dylantorres-brown3718]

I mix the Cat and Griffin Armor. The 1st set bonus from each set mix well together. I hate the Griffin chest plate cause Gearlt looks fat in it, but I'll usually run 2 Griff swords and boots with Cat chest gloves and trousers. Fast sword attacks with rapid sign casting is a fun combo

[@AvernGostir]

Thanks for the video!! Really would love to see the builds video! Planning to have another full run of Witcher after reading the books so it would come in handy.

[@bockman55]

Would you consider doing a play through of the new next gen Witcher 3 from start to finish with your commentary? I'm sure a large majority of the fan base would love to see it!

[@flamesofchaos13]

Once I was a fool that condemned the Griffin armor. But I grew and went through the armors one by one getting every variant of them and learning their pros my love of Signs means it's the best. I also learnt that it's the most realistic looking armor of the Witcher sets. Then there was the color dyes that got rid of the green and gold for the good ones of Red and White and Black.
