    I started playing Wolf Armor with the Metamorphosis mutation which was buffed from 3 decoctions maximum up to 5, combine that with Troll and Ekimma decoction and with the perk that grants Geralt 900 hp every decoction he drinks and you can get +6300 hp every fight.

    A couple of things I've noticed post patch: Buying a crafted copy of the Blade From The Bits doesn't seem to give a sword that levels with you, there's no mention of it having that ability. Likewise, other swords that are now meant to level with you that you've kept from a previous save, also don't seem to level. In combat Geralt seems to suddenly become unresponsive as if he's been stunned even though he's not taken any hits, he won't even move! Tends to happen a lot more in the fist fights tourneys. Newly spawned swords and armour seem to have far greater base hit points compared to even Grandmaster level Witcher Gear.

    Pretty cool changes, luckily I've never really felt the need to optimize that hard in TW3, even on Death March.

Like Bear armor when in Skellige cuz its chilly, Manticore when in Blood and Wine areas, then just wear Wolven or Viper everywhere else.

    I already ran Fixative and Protective Coating together, so moving the triple blade oil perk to Fixative and giving the Wolf School set a new perk is a net bonus for me. I find it handy for exploring, having a few blade oils on for common enemy types, so I don't have to constantly go into my inventory and micromanage my blade oils. For me it's more fun to just slap on a general-purpose set of oils (usually Necrophage, Ogroid, and the third one determined by what I expect to find in the region) and just focus on the combat itself. Also, are the Bomb Damage and Potion Duration bonuses additive or multiplicative? Because Getting two +15% bonuses on both for a +30% bonus sounds better than a single +25% bonus.

    8:40 the damage you get from multi-stack bleed is strong through for those opponents that force you to back off for a bit. I got a cyclops down to half health with a few hits, then it did its long charge at me. During the time I was making a few rolls to evade, it lost the second half of its health and died. The other place where it's nice is against enemies that dart about annoyingly to avoid continuous sword dps - like panthers or arachnomorphs etc. The DoT will add up against them while you are frequently trying to get in range.

    Nah, I use a hybrid build built around adrenaline. I use the perks that generate more adrenaline points per sword swing and give you 1 at start of combat, as well as the one that makes it so you don't lose any when you get hit. With the perk to cast signs with adrenaline points, you get to use them a ton. You can even use things like firestream before your stamina has refilled completely. Griffin school perk for extra sign damage and stamina regen, whirl and rend, acquired tolerance for more toxicity, the one that makes blade oils permanent, and the one that makes blade oils poison targets. Before the blood and wine mutations I'd make heavy use of Petri's filter potion so that igni would always cause burning, aard would always stagger, etc regardless of my bonuses. But now with the conductors of magic mutation, I can deal like 2k damage per igni and 700 minimum with aard, but aard scales to current enemy health, so it can hit 10k on certain monsters at full hp. Wolf armor and sword set work great for this because they add sign damage and boost adrenaline points. But I often use bear chest piece because it looks better and offers the same special bonuses as the wolf - only adrenaline point gain.

    highest toxicity u can get in game is 294 in new game (not new game plus, in new game plus u can reach even higher though i havent started one yet so i dont know the exact numbers), with the safe thereshold now reduced from 100 % to 80 %, and also the reduction of decoctions cost from 70 to 50 that translate to 4 decoctions. even with all these nerfs, manticore euphoria is still the best build in the game, only followed by griffin builds whether its aard focused or igni focused (the yrden bonus is OP af as usual) and yes, griffin have the best gear set bonuses.

    I find myself not even using perk points in my newest playthrough because I have no idea what to spend it on. I nearly have all perk slots open but I have I think 5 extra points or something close to that. I've never worried about any specific build types, but maybe I should. The change they made to perks and maxing out at 3 definitely changed how liberal you can afford to be with purchasing perks. I like it, but it adds a lot of stress for me, unsure why.

    Cat build is boring, all it does is make you do more damage. May as well just play on a lower difficulty. I like a hybrid build and using every little thing available to me, from sword abilities to signs and bombs/oils/potions. Petri's filter potion makes signs worth using even if you're not heavily specced into them. Or some of the end game mutations from blood and wine.

    Run the perk video if you would, some changes like Acquired Tolerance are very substantial and I know that I really had to review my builds. True bummer is I was running a bomber build in a new Death March save file before converting to some Euphoria shenanigans. Now my old build is buffed and I'm needing to adjust my play with my toxicity working different. That said, some decoction buffs are nuts, so that may be a nifty note to add somewhere.

    Ever since the Wolven perk change to more Bleeding oriented. I stack it up with fast attacks, Crippling Strike and Poisoned Blade skill just to see how fast it drains the Boss HP out with Bleed and Poison. Downside is I don't get to dismember since they died slowly. Still, I'm disappointed that the new update didn't give us a saved slot for build so we don't have the trouble to rebuilding again.

    if they can also make it so the player is less likely to use their inventory during combat, like introduce some kind of auto eat mechanic so you don't have to start combat only to go to your inventory just to eat some stupid food item for extra boosts just so you can get some regen during combat, the game is super clunky because of the inventory menu issues, i like the quick access for the signs in combat, but this only takes care of one of the many things they should have upgraded for combat situations, like food or other potions within the quick menu, something like this could improve the combat ten fold if done right.

    All these reworks and as far as I know you still can't get the Wolf School Gear before you travel to Kaer Morhen. Which by the time you do you're high enough level that the armor needs at least 2 upgrades. Which means you can't enjoy the process of using beginning gear and watching it change as you gain in level. For the armor for the school that Geralt technically belongs to! I do not understand how CDPR allowed this to happen. Why won't they just let us travel to Kaer Morhen early?

    I sincerely objectively don't understand why the devs nerf stuff. It is a singleplayer game. If the players wants to use exploits, what harm does it do? It is fully optional, if players want the extra challenge there is plenty of ways to get it. I feel like the devs center around the hardcore players and youtube streamers. Most casual players don't go in that much into the details of alchemy och signs. Most players just want to enjoy the game in various configurations in several playthrough. I think it is a weird attitude and a weird priority to put money and resources on 7 years later, to nerf stuff and remove exploits - in a single player game mind you.
