This is a really fun build. I started playing the next gen update on PS5 with a fresh save (I’d only played once previously, finishing the main story with a whirl build) so I wanted to try something new. I actually had a good experience leveling with this build, although it didn’t get crazy good until I got the mutation. I did a couple things ahead of schedule to help out, like go to Skellige as soon as I could afford the boat to get an Ekidna and Ancient Leshen mutagens (very easy, even on Death March) and then started Blood and Wine at Lv 20 (not as east) and went straight for the mutagen questline (finished about lv24 due to quest experience). Then I grabbed a few places of power to get Piercing Cold unlocked and I was off to the races.

At 7:35 I'm using the Delayed Recovery version which gives access to all the Superior potions at once, effectively. The Centipede projectile deals poison damage so Superior Golden Oriole converts that to healing in that clip instead!

How do sign builds fare with elemental encounters or sign resistance monsters? I have been getting really good results with piercing cold + fast attack w/ rend wolf set on DM NG+. With the 4 aard skills the damage is already decent, 1 cast of aard followed by ~4 fast attacks just about finish every monster in the game off since bleed is % based as well. So I thought piercing cold is better used as crowd control. I also tried using igni as CC but the range and the consistency isnt quite as good as aard. The sign builds I have encountered struggles a little bit with elemental encounters since they are super heavy into sign so I capped my sign investment after getting the 4 aard skills and just invested the rest into survivability and combat skills.
@DPhoenix237

The 2 questions are the same answer, actually! You need all 6 pieces of the Griffin set to be at Grandmaster level. Then you'll have 6/6 pieces as Grandmaster, which is what makes your Yrden Traps bigger and gives huge bonuses whilst you're stood in them. So you need both Grandmaster Griffin swords, and all of the chest trousers, Gauntlets and boots to be Grandmaster Griffin as well.

Hmmmn... signs. I was never really impressed by signs on the 'old patch' game, and basically didn't use any of them unless I had to - Axii in conversations for example, and standard Quen could come in handy whilst dancing around an enemy in case you took a hit while Swallow did it's thing, but the rest of them I never used unless the game required it. I might give this one a go though - it's nice to know they've fixed the Ancient Leshen decoction (I tried your old Aard Sweep build using this, and found the gameplay to get a bit samey after a while, so didn't really carry on with it much past first landing in Skellige on NG+) but now that signs are 'fixed' it looks like they might be a viable alternative to hack'n'slash (although there's nothing more satisfying then having a Drowners head come off, and then being able to kick it around Crookback Bog like a football) so yeah, signs might be viable and I'll give this build a go.

Hi! Yes you can definitely play this type of build in a first playthrough. You'd start by getting Griffin School Techniques, and as soon as possible get the Griffin armour and swords at level 11. Getting all the Places of Power in Velen and White Orchard lets you unlock skills like Exploding Shield, Active Shield and Magic Trap quite early. A lot of the damage would come from Igni/burning, sword damage and from knocking down enemies for instakills. Later you'd unlock the later Yrden skills, and at about level 30 you could go to Toussaint and get Piercing Cold. From that point it's pretty much GG because it's extremely powerful. Finish the expansions, get the Grandmaster Griffin set at level 40 and then once you're done with everything, start NG+ if you want to.

@DPhoenix237
Жыл бұрын
This is an excellent question. I haven't tested fully yet, but I have a build in mind that this will be useful for in theory so I guess I'll find out! I know that with CoM the sign intensity doesn't change the damage at all, unlike the direct damage from Igni, Quen or Yrden. It says at 300 then the sword adds damage like normal, but sign intensity doesn't affect it. I think the answer would probably be that it can be used independently of sign intensity because of that, but I'll need to test how viable it is. Interesting one.

Yes, for the longest time I been using Euphoria on my old (PS4) and I thought the damage on that build is insane. Now, I moved on to PS5 thanks for the free upgrade, playing it through death march (completed) with this Build, tones of fun.

I haven't tested with anything other than 3 points in Shockwave, but the scaling wouldn't change per se, but the damage would increase a bit for each point in Shockwave that you have.

Does it just do less damage? Like how doesn’t 600%chd w 70chc% make it hit way harder? That’s why I’m confused . Where’s the damage come from on piercing that makes it out damage that?
@DPhoenix237
Жыл бұрын
@chuckparker3664 Piercing Cold can instakill enemies that are knocked over, and Aard freezes and slows down enemies that aren't knocked over, which synergises with Aard Sweep + Ancient Leshen. If you wanted a directly damaging signs build, you'd go with CoM over MS anyway, and gear it more towards Yrden and Igni.

Probably the Metamorphosis one of mine. Maybe that with Euphoria, depends on whether you prefer damage or versatility. You could argue that versatility and the utility and benefits are better than purr damage, which I would say is the case.

The most important potions are Superior Blizzard, Superior Swallow and Superior Maribor Forest. If you want to limit the decoctions that Metamorphosis to just be the ones I used, it was Ancient Leshen decoction, Ekimmara, Katakan, Arachas, Chort and Relievers.
