    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.

      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.

    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. :)

    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.

Maybe similar things can be done in the new gen with alchemy or other builds.

    • @tremapar
      @tremapar ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    Just found your channel. Loving your content! Love your diction, explanations, and your voice is just right for these sort of detailed breakdown videos. Would absolutely love to see a ‘ranked builds’ video. I’ve been putting off going after the Death March(!) achievement for years now, and have finally decided to go for it once I finish my current playthrough to give myself the best New Game+ start possible.
    Anyways, I know how difficult Death March can be, and I’d like to min-max my way through it. Hence I’d love to see the aforementioned video come to fruition.
    P.S. As a lifelong Witcher fan, and a TW3 player since launch, I do agree with you on the armor sets, especially regarding the Ursine set. That being said, I get so immersed in the game… that I can’t stand seeing Geralt run around in Toussaint in the Bear School gear. It looks wildly uncomfortable in even mild climates. I always break down and have Geralt wear all Wolf School gear w/ Cat gauntlets, Bear silver, and Manticore steel (for the AP stat) while in Toussaint. Anywhere else, he’s rocking full Bear.

    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 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

    Based on looks. I absolutely love the starting armor. I have made sooo many playthroughs on different difficulties. Using nothing but the starting armor (upgraded green).

    I would say the new grandmaster forgotten wolven gear is actually the best now if you set it up well. I used to use ursine until I discovered how strong the yrden+aard forgotten wolven build is. And its much more fun than ursine also.

  • @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.

    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.

    I went with a bleed and alchemy build with the wolven set. The set bonus builds off of bleed, and with Flood of Anger I got the benefits of the sign intensity buffs without needing the investment.
    I used decoctions, adrenaline points, and all the buffing alchemy skills to more or less imitate an all round build.

    Is it just me, or does it also matter where you are playing in the game on what armor you want? During late main story, bear armor was my pick. Doing the expansions, it felt like I was wearing winter gear in the summer, so I switched to wolf set and have so much fun with being a sign and sword build.

    This is my 2nd play-through , and gotta say the next gen update is totally fire in every aspect of the game especially the combat. My play style was defensive ( 1st play I chose the Bear set ) , but for this experience on 60 Fps I feel like speed and stamina is very vital , so Imma try the Wolven set since the bear made the game very easy for me, and my play style is a mix of signs and alchemy besides the fast attacks . I was very reluctant and nervous about this choice but your video made it clear. Thnx again

  • @YYorle

    Ursine ftw! I use it a lot with Flood of Anger (3 adrenaline points spent to boost a cast Sign to max level) to make my signs pretty strong too. Use it with Aard for example and you knock everything around you on the ground for a good 10ish seconds. Enough to walk up to a lot of targets and just stab them to death. That and I'm also a sucker for the looks of it x)

    I remember having the bear armor set and the toxity special mutagen. So I had due to finding many recipes a toxity level of over 280.
