I think the Protection glyphword is going to synergize better with Bloodbath which hinges entirely on not taking damage in order to get the buff. So you want to avoid damage at all costs when you're running it. Protection will give you a grace hit which lets you continue to build up that buff and as soon as that shield is removed you cast another one.
So I played Witcher 3 for the first time after seeing the trailer for Witcher 4. I ended up using this build and am towards the end of the game currently at the part right before you fight the Crones and I gotta say this build is insanely OP as heck. I mean it's so overpowered that I have had no trouble playing the entire game on Death March. Sure you struggle a bit in the beginning but after completing the first half of Novigrad and Velen you're already just too strong for your opponents. I'm so strong that I even completed the Hearts of Stone Expansion with no trouble at all and this is literally my first play through. Two of the hardest boss fights are in that expansion and they seemed like mere specs of dust compared to me lmao. Killed the Prince in like 5-6 hits and the immortal man in 10-20 hits and didn't die once in either fight. Nicely done with this build dude
I already finished the game and started the new game plus. The problem is that my grandmaster feline armor is weak now in the new game and that sucks so now I have to find all the gears again which is called the legendary. Even my aerondight swords is weak bruh. I can't believe it and I spent a lot on that sword by adding runes. Idk if I'm doing something wrong.
But didn’t it get nerfed? I have a euphoria build but now when I use it my health starts to deplete after using my potions which started to happen right when the new update dropped
@@toastx_ yeah now you need metabolic control and equip one or more manticore pieces but you can still pop 3 even four decoctions if you use full manticore
I did a full alchemy build with ursine set, and even on Blood March with enemy upscaling, nothing could hardly touch me. I ended up doing a respec because I can't be too OP, or it just makes the game not as fun for me. I'm trying to find a fun build that isn't too overpowered now
I might when I respec before going in to NG+ Right now I'm on a hybrid between combat and signs with alchemy down the middle and grandmaster wolven. Might do three of the brackets as signs and the fourth bracket combat then do the general skills down the middle since I've only ever used one of those skills and it's usually just the armor skill.
@Professor Paradox You're smoking that good crack, lol. A proper Griffin sign build obliterates everything. It also has far more crowd control than a combat or alchemy build. The only thing that could match it is a bomb build.
@@Titansdragon75 1- i use griffin armor and tested many build,it’s not broken, Like it’s not fast as alchemy and combat build that’s my point,and some boss have more resistance to magics(even tho they are aard victim) I didn’t meant it doesn’t kill everything,it do it infact very easily,but not fast as combat build But i heavily disagree with more control crowd,in setting change magic casting to quick casting and it’s very easy to control it, More simple than changing and using potions
To optimize this it's way better to skip some not much useful red abilities and replace them with toxicity boosters, hunter instinct, killing spree and use euphoria instead of bloodbath. It will both improve physical dmg and survi (there are some good options for decotions).
@@gus6391 i'd say it depends on how many slots you want to use for reds and if your playstyle needs both fast and strong attacks. But basicaly all crosbow and defence and adrenaline except "razor focus" are worthless.
On lower difficulties the feline sword would be just as good, you can dodge around almost every enemy and hit them in the back with a double damage light or if you can get a heavy of that procs your first feline school buff too
Please kindly show me again of your enchanting/runes set up for armour & both of sword. You going too fast on video and can’t catch it. Which did you pick & thanks. Did you pick replenishment for all sword & amour??
New here. Haven’t finished the game but I was looking to make a good build how do you get that middle circle in your mutagens? Do you have to finish the game first?
ik this is a bit of an older comment but in case it helps anyone else you’ve gotta finish the first quest of the blood and wine dlc and after that you’ll get a kid run up to you with a letter from yen which triggers the “turn and face the strange” quest. which after completing it will unlock the mutations
Not too sure which orange thing you meant so here are a few - Orange spot following geralt - quen sign Orange circle next to the swords in the menu - runestones Orange swirly things - enchantments i believe
Yeah, when he said that the ability of hitting enemies from behind would barely trigger I was confused -- I trigger it all the time and it's actually a waste of adrenaline points for me. If you play this kind of build the way you're supposed to, which is dodging all the time and avoiding the blows as much as you can, while exploiting the openings the enemies give after you dodge their attacks, you are in fact going to land a lot of hits from behind...
@@adrienmanjikai6146 i just crafted and mixed together sword, chest from cat school, and rest forgotten wolven armor. Due 'new' talent tree i only went for deeper signs n upgrade.. For example.. 100% burning, aard sweep+ range and supercharged glyphs. Using protection chest enchant and 2x aard, yrden, igni glyphs in wolven gear. Signs such as yrden ticks quite some, mixing it with burning gets the job done vs groups. I do not use anything from alchemy, and only rage management.
The gameplay kind of speaks for itself, everything takes so long to kill, you're not even 1 hitting nekkers. This build looks to be basically twice as weak as the standard alchemy + sword skill build. Lots of ability points wasted on redundant skills that should be put into your basic alchemy skills. If you can't even take enough toxicity to use a waterhag decoction with some potions then you're just handicapping yourself for no real reason
The best way to get money in B&W Expansion is the Hanse Base. As long as you do not kill the leader, you can go back and the base will be full again, kill everyone except their leader and sell their weapons to vendors.
I wait for level 50 so I can use other stuff first and have a better sense of progression, but you can get as soon as possible as long as you commit to upgrading it in full at every level, otherwise you'll end up with it not being as powerful as it could be.
Their is with any armor,and even so each armor have smaller or biger percentage of sign power,you can make sign power stronger with two blue potions,and cunducts of magic.
Its a mutagen and you need the blood and wine dlc to get it some some in the dlc and a kid should come up to you with a letter then you will have started the quest where you unlock it
the only talents you need in this game is gourmet and the ligth feet stuff dont know how you call it in english, literally makes you unkillable even if you start on deathmarch
Could you make a wolven Jack of all trade build? Also any one know how to get the roach gwent card I got the rewards from yen’s stash in vizima but no card :(
You need to log into ‘gwent the witcher card game’ which is a mobile game with the same account as your witcher 3 account then you’ll automatically have it added to your cards you don’t get it from a chest like with the gear from My Rewards
Thank lord Arceus, that mods exist. With a mod you can remove that stupid looking hood. What were CDPR smoking when they thought that up. It would be fine if you could turn it off and on but no they force you to were it.
I have a billion questions about this game! Buy lets ask 2 why all feels clumsy and clunky and why the combat have 0 feedback at all ? And I figured that this game won so many awards because the story... because gameplay wise is impossible! Gerald feels like a toddler learning to walk! I'm desperately want to like this game but I can't get into it! Also why you level up so slowly 🐌??? But I think I know why! Cdpr have only 4 games under their belt they pretty much are amateurs and even worst amateurs with money ill see indie devs with more experience than this guy's,although I have to accept that I quite enjoy cyberpunk
@@ferynho1089 I wasn't rush it but now I can't get enough of it despite it shortcomings in combat I'm addicted!! Yes I complaint but also if the game win me over of course I'm gonna say it and it totally did!!
I don't see those problems with the game -- the combat is good and responsive enough for the style they were going for, and the levelling can be quite fast if you know what you're doing (the XP awarded gets cut if your level is too high in comparison to the quest), so much so that I found myself levelling too fast and losing XP on some quests. CDPR might have very few games, but they've honed their mechanics and overall game-making expertise extremely fast, with most stuff figured out in a better way than pretty much all of the other companies on the marked by the time they released The Witcher 2. TW3 isn't perfect, but it's probably more about your taste in games being different than the game itself being so flawed...
Do you like the hood on the Feline Witcher gear?
Hooded combat looks cool but it would be nice to lower it during exploration.
yes mainly because i’m a huge AC fan
Yep but I don't like how my grandmaster feline set still bugs with that annoying sound glitch when you leave combat.
@@feanornoldor4919 Its sort of scuffed but if you wear the Professor glasses it lowers the hood

Agree, I add protection on viper armor for bloodbath build.
I use a similar build but use Euphoria as my mutation and use decoctions to boost my health and critical damage and chance.
@alicio9444yes
@alicio9444 yes, I use euphoria + crit build and its op
ya euphoria for the cat armour is broken
You could also use bear school and the final runewright skill to turn it into light armour

how comes it’s all 3/3 for skill points my skill tree is 5/5, should i of been putting them to 3
You need to update your game to the next gen version. It rebalances the skill tree
So this is just a basic Feline build with a little bit of pussy footing with the Protective coating and a heavy reliance on New Game + and Aerondight.
