    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. **CABOOM**

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. :)

    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.

    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.

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.

    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. Cheers :-)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

Once I got a grip of the armor set mechanics I went for the cat armor set, it was really fun, lethal and old school swordfighting. On my second playthrough though I went for the bear armor set and it felt PHENOMENAL, you can just waltz your way through the game.

That and I'm also a sucker for the looks of it x)
