Axii at the start of a battle can help, but this remains as close to a glass cannon as a Witcher can get. Ok, ok: this build occasionally demands that you run like a pansy while your Vigor refills. Note that Finesse and Energy Flow won't get you there, and also that your proc rate will be about half that listed in the Character Pane (with Pyromaniac and Winter’s Shroud Abilities, this build procs about one in three casts) - see the post below on Mutagens. You're aiming for 30%+: five improved Greaters, or six improved Basics. It's possible to go this route without mindless rolling, though. The drawback: Critical Effect Mutagens are essential for this build, along with a respec after slotting them with Impregnation. Magic (13): Aard 2, Destructive Magic 2, Quen 1, Magical Vigor 2, Magical Intensification 1, Fatal Attraction 1, Yrden 1, Energy Flow 2, Sense of Magic 1Īlchemy (11): Synthesis 1, Potions 1, Harvester 1, Oils 1, Transmutation 1, Metathesis 1, Condensation 2, Mutant 1, Amplification 2 Training (6): Vigor Regen 2, Parrying, Fortitude 2, Arrow Redir You need Quen only occasionally, and you don't suffer from the Fatigue penalty since you're using your sword as a finisher. You control the fight not by being invulnerable but by being ready. When you don't, you poke again while keeping just enough distance and safety.
It enables a quick attack to probe for weakness (a stun, a freeze, a knockdown), and when you get one, you rush in for a kill. If you like 'finishing move' animations, this is for you, as it relies on Critical Effects.įights feel even more like fencing than with a standard Swordsman build. So fun, and so different from in play style from any other build. Out-of-combat, there's an additional delay of 2+ seconds before the first bar returns. Armor of Ysgith combines with Schemer to equal the bonus of Condensation it does not stack with Condensation. Condensation 2 cuts it to 2 seconds per bar, but Schemer can be had earlier in the game. Otherwise, it's 5 seconds per bar in-combat. That assumes 2 pts in Vigor regen through Training.
If you cast again in 3 seconds, the timer resets. After 4 seconds without casting, you get a new bar.
