Witcher 3 - The BEST Build for Every Witcher Armor!

[@StolenAlias]

Im my opinion, wolven is the way to play. Not only does it provide good and effective gameplay, but it also is the most immersive in my opinion, Geralt should be using all the things he has at his disposal, which this armor allows because it’s a jack of all trades, plus it’s his school’s armor.

[@h80np39]

I absolutely agree with that, especially the immersion part. It just makes sense for geralt to go with the armor of his own school, as it would suit his combat style the most.

[@thewhackman]

Feline supremacy 💯

[@JoaoPedro-kp5px]

in books, geralt use sings ( quen, aard and axii) and he is a sword master. I believe that both feline build and wolf build are good and pretty lore accurate if you adjust the builds a bit

[@procrastinatinggamer]

Just a shame that you can't get the Wolven Armour until you're about halfway or so through the base game (since you can't get the base version's diagrams until the plot has you go to Kaer Morhen).

[@they_call_me_don9899]

I love the wolf armor the all black,or red with the bleed damage and everything is pretty damn good.

[@haylo75]

Truly the best Witcher 3 next gen video around. I can only imagine the effort that went into not just the production but acquiring all the gear, and formulating the early/mid/late game point allocations! Last I played W3 was when it first came out, and I did Cat build very similar to yours here. I started out a new playthrough and got bored doing the same thing, so I happened upon this video. I switched out to the Griffin sign based build, and it's a lot of fun!

[@oliverpietila741]

[@mrp1326]

I have not yet played NG+ nor Next-gen version, but I will do so. The game is really great, but after some time it has weaker moments. I agree that the fights should be harder or more engaging in some way. It could have much less opponents, but with better AI and more capable so that playing a Witcher is more like in books and less hack'n'slash.

[@joero4610]

For axii its specifically the delusion skill for dialogue. Its basically the witchers version of "speech" skill in games. Other than that i never really level axii. Ocasionally i will use the skill that controls enemies in combat. Brings me back to witcher 2 version of axii

[@someguyontheinternet.3318]

@@vyredrac7710Axii is more a passive skill. I’d definitely spek into that. If you go for a Griffin build, I’d recommend Ignia maybe. Then just follow what he says in the video.

This is by far the best build guide for Witcher 3 that I have seen - well thought out, while striving between a balance of fun interactions and good damage output and decisions made based upon synergies and set fantasy (since Skellige is all about extremes and hardiness - a Witcher using Bear armor and being a towering-way-too-much-potion-imbibing indestructible madman is definitely appropriate) and not just going for Euphoria sword/sign play regardless of the set used while not considering any alternatives. At some point, when you play through the game at want to mix things up, this definitely provides you with good inspiration. Great video, the work is definitely appreciated!

[@iMzmonkeyMi]

This guide is one of the best I've seen. It really opens up the replay value that the 4.0 rebalance has created. I'm with Neon that Forgotten Wolven armor with Piercing Cold is incredibly fun. The weight of those blasts is one of the best feelings I've had in any game I've played. The ragdoll effects of an instant kill can be insane, as well. I sent a bandit flying over a distant hill, cartwheeling in midair. Adding that to those gorgeous sword kill animations makes for some epic battles. Thanks!

[@xPanda25]

Wow I really wish I knew that Legendary armors in NG+ kept the Grandmaster set bonuses. I've been sticking with my Grandmaster armor from the initial playthrough because I didn't want to lose the GM set bonus, so I never even bothered to craft the NG+ variants yet, least until I got to GM armor sets again

[@dremndishot2695]

[@viktoriqn]

As someone who learned how to make builds by myself and understand how and why, which and what works with eachother - by taking only the best parts from other guides years ago, i can really appreciate the comprehensive explanation to all the skills and glyphs you include for each build, and in a way that assumes a person clicked on the video for a specific build and not all of them per se. Very well done, I'm happy your 1h video got the attention it deserves so more new players have an easier time learning the ins and outs of building. In so many playthroughs i have never played a maxed out sign build and now that i saw what you did with the Griffin i think that's what I'm gonna try next in NG+

One of the main things I loved and *still* love about the The Witcher 3 is how much it feels like games from the old days. It released in a completed state, it was full of genuinely fun content, it had no gimmicks or pay walls, the world is vast and interesting to the point you actually want to explore, best of all, (to me) new game plus. Even more, is that they gave out free dlc and when they released a expansion it felt like it fit the word *expansion* . If all game developers made games in this way they would never go hungry again. Peace in our time.

As an alternative to swapping the 6 piece bonus for Aerondight something I've been having fun with lately is combining the 3 piece bonus from two Witcher sets.

This video is awesome! Thanks for making such a detailed guide. It is clear that you put a lot of time and experimentation into it to get these great builds. I like the wolf one because it feels like the most immersive. It's Geralt's school, and it is the most balanced, relying on both signs and swords. That said, the Viper build is rediculously overpowered. The fact that you can run troll, ekimara, and katakan, and still have room for potions means that you always have great health regeneration. Then whirl with aerondight, and all the other uprades, can kill most enemies very quickly. Viper is also the cheapest and easiest to get since you don't have to upgrade all the way.

For the Forgotten Wolven set, I like to go with Gorged On Power and Focus skills instead of Muscle Memory and Precise Blows. Makes the Aard much more effective as you build adrenaline, while not making fast attacks a no brainer, leading to more combo variations with heavy attacks.

[@michaelklein3244]

You need 6 piece Griffen for 40% bigger traps to fight in for the bonus and the stamina regen AND sign intensity increased by 100% and damage reduction reduced by 20% if you don't use both swords you're trading all that for that Geshef bonus. Not worth it by no means.

0:09 what do you press to raise your sword in the air to chop like that?

That Bear Armor Build is so insane!!!! Kudos to you man I can only imagine how much work went while making this guide.

On ur Griffin build you should try Eruption instead of Rotation. Explosions are much more fun imo Also the Ekhidna and Ekimara potion go well with the Griffin build because one increases stamina regen by +2 per second after every standard signs cast and the other regenerates health whenever using stamina to cast a sign

Thank you for taking the time to create this video for new and re-visiting gamers of the witcher such as myself. Can't wait to start my new play through with this handy information :)

It seems to me like carrying Wraith Decoction might synergize well with that Bear build; free Quen shield when a hit takes 1/3 of your health off and the set bonus gives you a chance to cast another when that one shatters. Edit: So I just realized, you can't actually stash decoctions. So I guess you have to permanently drop your decoctions? Which means once you commit to this build there's really no going back since decoctions can really only be made once. Well I guess technically you can make them again in NG+, but if you do you've hamstrung the build unless you throw that decoction away again.

Eh, I’d save my game so if I want to try something else, I’d just load up my save and make a different one.
