Many players underestimate the Chort decoction... Use Chort decoction with ekkimara and Grave hag... And let go the Whirl... No matter if the emeny has pikes or hammers, they will not be able to block your attacks or stagger you.... Very useful when surrounded on all sides...
This build looks interesting, I will try it! Thanks for the good detailed video!
Nice!!! I like the changes you have made in this build. I 'm gonna try this in my new game+ (deathmarch)
Great to hear! Remember, there are lots of ways to tweak this build to your playstyle, and there are still many ways to optimize this build to become even better. I've seen some awesome weapons/gear at the end of Blood and Wine that would make this build soar! You can take this build and make it do more damage at the cost of more survivability, or the other way around.
finally a good build video for blood and wine
thanks!
You're welcome! Testing a sign build that does Death March NG+ with level 80+ enemies easily, but it's a tad boring. Debating about posting a video or not.
I made a new endgame build video. Check it out! Footage of 100k+ crits!
+Ditronus sounds boring indeed but why not? :D
+Ditronus I'll watch for sure! I'm very anxious to try the new game +. Thanks mate
Very well explained thanks
No problem! Be sure to watch my updated video where I show you how to do 100k Crits in ONE hit!

Are high level Nilfgard gauntlet and new moon pants hard to find?, do they spawn randomly at high levels?
I use the yellow ability to make food last 20 minutes and use 80 regent food and troll decoctions for 101hp/s regen in combat, would this work well with Invigoration or would it be best to use the extra whirl range?.
If you have the troll decoction, try using that along with Ekimmara and an invigoration rune to make your attacks extra potent! I've farmed trolls for a long while and have never gotten the mutagen to drop >
what armor do you think works the best with this specific spending of ability points? and which sword? I prefer witcher gear (I just think it looks badass), but please just say what you think is the best.
+Teun de graaf There are some good unique weapons later in Blood and Wine that I hear are good, but I don't have them yet so I can't say. A safe bet is Ursine swords as they give vast amounts of crit damage, especially in NG+, and it scales as you upgrade it into grandmaster. For armor, use nilfgard gauntlets, feline boots, and new moon pants, and then you can either use Ursine chest (with levity rune) for adrenalin gain/ monster damage resistance or feline chest for attack power. I don't see feline's 3-piece bonus ever being worth dropping the nilfgard gauntlets and new moon pants. Put invigoration on your swords and make sure to use the ekimmara decoction.
the invigoration rune is useless. doesn't add up so much dmg from troll decoction and ekimmara
+harrE bräÄ Yes it does, seeing ekimmara scales off damage. Having a swallow popped and food regen on also makes a big difference.
+theraven90 Check out my updated build. See if you like that. It's similar to this but to the tenth degree haha. I think I have a link to it in the annotation; shows you how to do over 100k crits.
Unfortunately the hunter instinct skill is bugged and only applies a 20% bonus rather than the 100% bonus
Does this build work or has it been nerfed?
i prefer a fast attack build over this but i do have both unlocked, your previous build made NG+ on deathmarch a cakewalk. but when i started hearts of stone on this playthrough i couldnt seem to kill the frog no matter what, i found he was really resiliant to swords. bombs and such seemed to hurt him quite a bit and i read that a sign build destroyed him but i didnt feel like building just to beat him so i checked back here to see if you had any videos on how to kill this guy and i saw this, i had all of these skills unlocked already (im lvl 85 with all places of power found) i only made a couple of tweaks, instead of endure pain i used poisoned blades because, as someone pointed out before, it dosnt work with the rest of the build. i also have one extra slot and i put in refreshments (i find that it helps in a pinch when i really need instant HP i down a swallow and get 25% back as well as HP over time) the extra DPS helped out quite a bit, my bet is because i subbed in strong attacks instead of fast. i threw my northern winds at him and hit him with a full rend a few times and he was toast. im not really a fan of strong attacks outside of big slow bosses like the toad prince though, it feels too slow and clunky, its really annoying getting smacked by a drowned dead while charging a rend
Good tips. Yes that frog boss was rough, I had to play careful to down him, too. Rend is a great ability depending on what you are facing. Drowners make Rend almost impossible to get off, but it's quite easy for humans if you parry and counter with a rend charge up.
As your power continues to grow and you fight large amounts of enemies dropping rend for Whirl is preferable, or simply using a strong attack with archgriffon.
I'm actually looking into trying out a sign build since Euphoria is in the game now. I'm just saving up some gold now to get all the gear and enchants I need. I found a good place I found to farm gold, thankfully. Getting almost 1k gold a minute legit.
i was one of the scumbags who took part in killing the smith over and over with a beehive for crowns XD but i was out of things to do fotr coin in my first playthrough and i still had to give the runewright a shit ton of money and fully upgrade my vineyard. i only farmed about 200k from him and now the exploit has been patched. i figured that was enough to get me through most of my NG+ play through. i have probably about half of that left and i just recently started hearts of stone, so ill probably be able to get a couple sets of legendary grandmaster gear before im broke again lol. cant wait to see the stats on the set.
Unless Im mistaken decoctions do not add toxicity, they only add toxicity threshhold. Go into the Inventory and Character stats window and you will see. Even with 3 decoctions you will have zero toxicity, only threshhold. Skills that are buiilt off toxicity are semmingly actually weakened by using decoctions. Im no min/max expert though as I play a decoction build normally and havent spent hours testing every little detail, was just something I noticed in the labelling. Also particular skills specifically mention "potion" toxicity.
Dang, I wrote a huge response and it closed it out so it was deleted! Here, I'll shorten it:
Each decoction, potion adds a particular amount of toxicity, even though it's spoken in terms of a % (e.g. 70/100), it changes as you increase the amount of toxicity you can accumulate through things like Manticore armor, Metabolic Control, and Acquired Tolerance. I have a new video showcasing this a little more. WIth mutagens like Euphoria, you can see how this is beneficial, not dampening: each point of toxicity adds .75% sword damage, which you can see in an icon on your screen when your sword is drawn in combat. In my new video, I have over 300 toxicity, which allows me to stack 3 decoctions and 3-4 potions at once, or 4 decoctions and 1-2 potions, giving me 236% +- sword damage in an encounter. The language is tricky and a bit vague, but the effects are pretty clear: you have a certain amount of allowed toxicity at any given time which gradually depletes to a base amount (the threshhold, I'd assume), and as you increase that amount, you can take on more toxicity and thus more sword damage via Euphoria.
Test it out with Euphoria and you'll see. Here's my new video where I show how to do 100k damage a strike with these mechanics:
ua-cam.com/video/wNFFyScdduI/v-deo.html
Hopefully this helps.
No idea why my formatting keeps getting screwed up in this reply. Hopefully it's still legible.
I understand the math you used, but my point was simply the way the game referenced Toxicity. It is a somewhat weird way for expressing how much toxicity you have. If it is interpretted the way I first read it, it seemed that toxicity threshhold was simply your lowest possible at the time, and that decoctions changed that amount, which is true, and your "live" toxicity was only due to potions or being poisoned by monsters. I read it though as only the live toxicity is what impacts skills that were based off toxicity. Does not seem to be the case though.
If my initial reading had been correct though drinkign decoctions would have been a bad idea if you wanted maximum damage. As said, it counts decoction toxicity too so it is in fact better as you can maintain a steady level of constant bonus and get a short term spike by dosing with potions at the risk of being overdosed and the penalty that gives on regeneration and the runewright bonus (invigoration I think it is).
nice
so if I put levity on my ursine armor would I get bonuses from both bear school and cat school techniques?
Nope, just cat school; it changes the type of armor. I recommend watching my newer video on this Witcher build that goes into a bit more detail and shows gameplay at the highest end of the game. It'll show you how to do over 100k damage with a single swing, legitimately on console. Enjoy!
yup confirmed a while ago that both heightened tolerance and endure pain skills cancel each other.
Actually before coming to this video my actual build is (havent got mutations yet):
Acquired tolerance (not up for debate)
Poisoned Blades (Depends on playstyle, endgame poisons are really strong and they override armor)
Tissue Transmutation (If you feel like you need the extra HP)
Synergy (a must in any build)
Killing Spree (Brokenly OP since it triggers with decoct toxicity, which simply is 100% chance of crit on every fight with 3+ enemies. Any skill or item which increases crit CHANCE is therefore irelevant).
Hunter Instinct (+100% crit damage? lolz)
Both Poisoned Blades and Hunter Instinct work very well with the auto apply oil mod. A must have.
The rest is Strong attack and rend stuff + adrenaline point gain and retaining abilities. Will probably trade tissue transmutation for stronger fast attacks tho. Wanna do some whirl and rends.
Oh and ofcourse cat school techniques for added crit damage.
ITEMS:
I'm torn between ursine + "light weight runeword" to benefit from cat school and still retain the awesome resistances.
Or the ol' good new moon set + nilfgaardian gloves for extra crit damage but loose a bunch of tankiness.
Swords:
Steel: Touisant ducal guard somethingish: Armor piercieng. +crit chance +crit damage +bleed and other goodies.
Silver: Aerondight + stronger aerondight mod. Because why not lol.
Prior to that, anything that raises crit damage (venom viper, ofieri saber o sword, ursine...)
Gona take up on your word and try invigoration rune + OP regen decoctions that we all abuse lol
Ok i've come to the conclusion that even tho the invigoration + ekimara troll decoctions combo is OP level good (constantly raises your dps by 500 easily), it's not good enough to replace severance.
Severance allows you to hit 3+ enemies with Rend. That's simply put 3x your damage. Commonly you can hit 2x enemies.
"Grabs IRIS sword, lets it charge up to red, and unleashes a fully charged rend onto a group of thugs." Fireworks man.
And whirlwind + severance... lol what were the devs thinking so imbalanced.
+Jan Weinreich I just finished up Blood and Wine on death march 80+ NG, and I think I have the perfect setup now, and I'm tempted to make another video or just go annotation crazy. I like your thoughts on severance; it does seem like a good setup.
Right now, I tried a fully decked out igni build with magic sense and euphoria, which was OK against humans but was rather bad against a lot of monsters or anything that doesn't burn. I tried a fully decked out Euphoria, melee, toxic bomb build with manticore, and that was supremely lackluster in the bomb department.
The revised build I landed on was with Manticore (Levity) chest for extra toxicity and 30% more crit damage, nilfgard (as you said), new moon trousers ("), but also Manticor boots, which gave more toxicity and 30% crit damage. For swords, Belhaven steel (can't be beat) and Aerondight (mine's level 81 right now) or Gesheft (best secondary).
In pairs of three:
Red mutagen
-razor focus
-undying (great life saver at times)
-Whirl
Red mutagen
-muscle memory
-Resolve
-Precise blows
Red mutagen
-crippling strikes (just needed a red)
-metabolic control
-cat school
Green mutagen
-Synergy
-Hunter instinct
-Killing spree
Euphoria w/ 3 unlocks in mid
-Heightened Tol.
-Aquired Tol.
-Tissue trans.
Summary: My toxicity can go over 300 with this build, an my Euphoria goes up to 238% cap. I can have up to three potions and 3 decocs at once or 4 decocs and two potions staggered. My HP nears 11k, my health leech with Ekimmara is crazy high because, most importantly, my damage is also sky-high with 9-14k fast attack crits depending if it's Aerondight or not. I might make another video detailing this as it drives me crazy having a semi outdated video up, but ah well.
hahaha good good!
But how is whirlwind + hunter instinct working out? They contradict some since ww drains AP which is needed for HI. I've got some points saved and wonder if should mix ww with HI. Too lazy to test it out now lol.
And yeah already tried and tested every bomb ability. It's FUBAR unless someone mods the shit out of it. Even with all points on bomb spec, damage is around 200-500 per bomb, since they don't scale with level. It's completely useless.
Only two very useful bombs are northern wind and the silver splinters thingy. That's it. Oh and the fire ones to break monster nests lulz.
TLDR: DO NOT WASTE POINTS IN BOMBS EVEN THO IT SOUNDS LIKE A COOL IDEA.
I've decided that, even tho DOTs scale pretty nicely, they're not worth it at least on these types of ultra burst damage we're going for right now.
We're talking about constant 100% hit chance 15k-30k crits. That's on every hit. While fighting, you hit what, 1 time every 1 or 2 seconds? Thats say 10k damage per second output. DOTs cant even come near that, even if they had 100% chance of being applied, which they dont.
This is just too burst damage oriented.
Get REND instead, one ability slot opens up a whole new style of combat. There's a LOT of slower enemies (humans too) for Rend to work wonders. Mixing stuff during combat is very nice.
(Well placed northern wind will guarantee a fully charged rend. Go try it and come back with the damage log. 50k ???
EDIT: OMFG didn't realize manticore boots and chest give 25% crit damage each! If you put only these two on, that's 15 more toxicity. Is this enough to gulp a 4th decoction or maybe running 3 decoctions without crossing the hp loss threshold?
Whirl only eats adrenaline points if you're out of stamina and try to Whirl longer. I actually like this change as it allows me to decide to either use up the extra points to Whirl longer, or time it to cut it short.
Someone above just commented that Hunter Instinct only works with the enemy type you have an oil applied on. The ability is vague, but this explanation makes sense as the talent was in the oil preparation tree line.
Very good! but this is a new game+?
It sure is.
Legendary gear only drops on NG+.
I played on my 3rd run a New Game+ on deathmarch Then I switched back to the save on the second highest difficulty to play B+W. Deathmarch on New Game+ is not so hard that i thought. Maybe I gonna try a deathmarch with a new game, this will be really hard I think.
sorry for my english, but how you can get opened the upper slot of mutations? in russian version it closed, even when you learn all of 12 mutations. seems like a bug. but you can have all the slots...
In the English version, it just requires you to unlock the 12 new mutations in the new skill tree to gradually get the four new slots in the middle. You say you've already unlocked those 12 *new* mutations? Have you activated one of the new ones to use? If yes, it does sound like it must be a bug.
+Ditronus yes, I'm already opened all of them and activated 1, but still the upper one closed.. maybe I need to learn more skills from the main skill tree? my build have only red and blue skills. / and you got another greater mutagen icon :)
Does heightened tolerance and endure pain work together? Doesn't endure pain work when your toxicity exceeds the safe threshold? and heightened tolerance increases your threshold to 100% so you cant exceed it? Or am I reading/understanding what they do incorrectly?
It increases it by* 100% not to 100%. They both work great together. Without endure pain, your HP will be draining at high toxic levels. They both push your toxin capacity high and, with a lot of alchemical formulae, I've never been caught losing HP due to being over the safe threshhold, but have always been beyond the safe threshhold to get the vitality bonus.
Let me know if that made sense or you'd like a better explanation. Just responding on my phone as I bead out the door.
are you sure? Heightened tolerance says it increases the threshold from 75% to 100% not by 100%. I don't have endure pain, my vitality was 9k, I drank potions to get to 100% toxicity, no health buff and no health loss over time. I still see these as two options that don't work together, one makes it so if you overdose you get a health buff to negate the negative effect like health loss over time. The other makes it so you can drink all the potions you want with out worrying about toxicity.
You say you have never been caught losing HP due to being over the safe threshhold, I would say that should be evidence enough that the heightened tolerance has increased your toxicity threshold to 100%. Maybe have a test of it in game when you have a chance, maybe I just freed up 5 points you can spend on something else.
+maccaaccam99 Just tested it, as I saw your comment while playing. You are surely correct. I'll have to add an annotation to inform the viewers of my mistake. Without Heightened Tolerance, my hp goes up to 14k+, with it, 10k+--and it starts the drain. Good catch. I'll have to figure out what would be a good replacement. With Euphoria, it might be best to move more green mutations into the center vertical slots that come in Blood and Wine and then place more random red mutations to make a red mutagen stronger. Again, thanks for the catch; always embarrassing to have an oversight, but it's worse having misinformation or poor suggestions spread.
I know this is a old video. But if you equip heightened tolerance it cancels out endure pain. Just saying.
How to do u get 4 skill spots and the extra mutation spot in the middle of the other six
Lord Grim upgrades mutations in blood and wine. Someone sends you a letter.
how can i get that fight style? like waving the sword covering and doing damage at the same time,
0:35
Watch my updated video to this video (link in the description). It is a better build. The sword spinning ability you are talking about is called Whirl. You unlock it on your mutation/mutagen menu screen with ability points.
@@Ditronus. Great videos. I am wondering how you are able to preform Whirl without it draining stamina?
What is your intro music
is there anyway to restart evrything from scratch and rebuild it ?
sorry if im late but there is....,using a potion called clearence potion,u can buy it from a merchant in novigrad and an alchemist in skliege
I use cat, ekimmara, fast hits, whirl and euphoria. In results and I can hit 7k with Aeronight.
Isn't the undvik armor better for the %defenses?
Check out the updated video for this build: ua-cam.com/video/wNFFyScdduI/v-deo.html
100k+ crits!
I recommend the Manticore chest, now. You get critical damage and toxicity, which translates into much more damage, which also translates into more heals via the percentage-based heals of ekimmara.
What's the 175% buff you have called?
It's the new Euphoria ability you can unlock in Blood and Wine. More sword damage as your toxicity increases.
this build similar to me :D
Check out my updated video where I show how to do 100k+ damage a hit! Made some significant changes. ua-cam.com/video/wNFFyScdduI/v-deo.html
Ditro,what is better to use for this build mastercrafted feline,or grandmaster feline gear?
Well, if you only have feline gear, use the grandmaster gear. Was this a typo? I'd recommend New Moon armor pants, manticore chest (w/ levity) and boots, and nilfgard gauntlets.
Gow do you do that whirl woth the swords?
It is an ability called "Whirl" you can unlock. I'd recommend watching the updated video to this video. The link is in the description.
how do you have 5 mutegen slots and 4 additional skill slots?
The slot in the middle is one of the new 12 mutagens you get in Blood and Wine, and the more of those 12 you unlock, you progressively get those 4 new mutation (skill) slots. You get a letter from Yen as you follow the Blood and Wine main quest early on that unlocks a new quest that unlocks the new mutagens to get the ball rolling.
+Ditronus oh i have the dlc but just a week in to the game at level 17 guess i have a long way to go lol, thanks for answering.
+Obscura Abyssus Whatever you do, don't feel like you need to rush. I just beat Hearts of Stone the other week even though I've owned the game and dlc since launch, and I evrn started a NG+ and went plat before that. It's probably the last Witcher game to ever be made, and it's surely one of the best games ever made; savor it all!
+Ditronus yeah i know, no need to ruin the experience by rushing, i'll take it slow and explore as much as i can haha, thanks for the advice.
hunter instinct only works If you have oil on your weapon for The specific enemy type and 3 adrenaline.
You know, I've always felt like there wasn't a damage increase once it got to 3 adrenalin. I figured it was a bug, though. Are you sure this is the case? It would make sense as this is in the oil preparation line. I'll have to make a note of it for others. Thanks!
+Ditronus yea im pretty sure. can you update your build in a new video? would appreciate it
Yea, I might. Just not sure if people would appreciate it. It would be my third video update haha. Although, I think the items/mutations I've landed on are best in slot now.
+Ditronus yea its a good build! good job, but any suggestions what to replace hunter instinct with?
Not sure it needs to be replaced, honestly. The hardest enemies in the game are often not human, and therefore are susceptible to oils. I'll think on it, though!
In my current build, I have the 30-points of extra toxicity so my Euphoria damage bonus is higher, but my mutations are a bit different from this video as I have more of those center slots unlocked. So, maybe this mutation would be a good substitute for you.
The goal is to shuffle green mutations into the center, vertical row and put more reds on the outsides to beef up attk pwr mutagens.
EDIT: Also remember, Hanged Man's Venom and Fixative. I'm going to highlights these in my next video.
Hows that fun ?
How does Endure Pain work with Heightened Tolerance? I assumed since heightened tolerance removes the safe threshold altogether that endure pain does literally nothing when used together.
It's true. One cancels the other out. I modified this in annotations and in my description. I also updated the build, showing you how to do 100k+ damage in ONE hit. Check it out!
ua-cam.com/video/wNFFyScdduI/v-deo.html
Which crossbow you have that is master item
Think I had the "Geralt of Rivia" crossbow from the Toussaint tournament equipped. Doesn't really do much if you don't intend on using the crossbow (and the crossbow is still not even close to being worth using as it's not fun and its still very weak).
Make sure you check out my new video where I show you how to do 100k+ damage in a single hit. I have an updated build guide on how to do so.
+Ditronus not that one the other that u do not have equipped
+Ditronus I have the Geralt of rivia crossbow
+Alex Bryan The offerei one I think.
I'm lvl 100 and all the monsters hit me with 2 hit and die can any one help
yes, just play other games
Why doesnt my character menu look like his?
Blood and Wine change it
Check out my new video with an update to this build: ua-cam.com/video/wNFFyScdduI/v-deo.html
Also, the new 1.20/1 patch changed the way the UI and inventory looks. It's a lot more clean.
Why does your game have those icons, I have blood and wine but not those icons
Like the potion/decoction icons? It came in patch 1.20. I also have my HUD on the smallest setting.
+Ditronus strange thats what i have but not the icons
Are you on PC?
I think those icons are only on the console version. Mine don't look like that either and I'm on PC v 1.21
+Andrea Colombo no i figured it out, i had a mod that changed the icons and put text over them so they never updated
bro plss show us your red skill tree.
Azlan Abdullah, check out the updated video. Link in the description. It's much better!
No Aerondight? You sure?
Yea, there are good alternatives. I didn't elaborate too well. I really was getting at that you should never use the feline swords over the ursine, and that the ursine swords are better than almost every single sword in the entirety of the game until you reach some more options later on in B&W. Good clarification, though. Overall, the goal is to get high sword damage and critical damage, which the sword you mentioned does well with this build if you get it at level 70+.
Sadly Hunter's Instinct does not work : (
I did some research on the internet about it. It seems that it only works with hits from behind. Hits from behind are Critical Hits. The description should mention that... Because hits from behind are very hard and rare on smaller/faster targets.
Sorry seen a build do higher damage and had higher health on this very site
