PRESIDENT GOKU posted:An excellent idea. Just remove candles and ignitible poo poo all together. It serves absolutely no purpose other than the "heh cool" factor you get the first time you do it. As I understand it, the mutagens don't boost the linked abilities. However, linking mutagens with same-color abilities improves the mutagen bonus. For example, I have a Greater Blue Mutagen (+10% Sign Intensity) and for every Sign ability I link to it I get another bonus 10% Sign Intensity, the mutagen granting a total of +40% for the three same-color linked abilities. Matching colors gives you better Mutagen bonus, not bonus to abilities specifically

Seriously, gently caress whoever designed the inventory and its lovely sorting system.

Are there any mutagens that boost the general skills? I put a point into Griffin School armor and put it in a quadrant, but have no mutagen to go with it.

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:
So each colour mutagen gives a stat boost - sign intensity (blue), vitality (green), attack power (red). Each skill of that same colour you add to that branch acts as a multiplier to that mutagens effect. So a blue mutagen gives 10% sign intensity, adding 1 blue skill to it makes it 20%, 2 skills 30%, 3 skills 40% (percentages might vary, just off the top of my head). Lesser runes and glyphs can be combined 3:1 into greater versions using recipes bought from rare merchants.

The Crooked Warden posted:I dunno; the armor skills seem pretty goddamn amazing. Well I'm running around with the full Griffin set and Griffin armor skill which gives +20% Sign Intensity and +20% stamina regen, which is nice. However, I could slot an ability there and not lose much because I could get +10% Intensity for matching mutagen colors and each rank in a Sign ability also gives stamina regen. It doesn't scale so it becomes a lot less appealing eventually. RC Cola posted:Are alchemy or magic worth investing in?

After getting back together with Dandelion, Zoltan gives a quest line where the gwent matches are completely optional (afaik; I opted for one match where dialog options suggested I didn't need to) which gives you a hero card and maybe some others, I wasn't paying much attention. So that might help if you're struggling. Also I put off Dandelion because Triss seemed more urgent - don't do that. I think I'm locked out of some things now. Probably minor, I already freed one artifact-compressed noble and thought that was the end of it, but just found another and Triss is already gone. Something for next playthrough! e: oh god Dandelion no your ideas are so horrible just let me give you money

Yeah I can only really speak for the Griffin/Sign setup as that's all I've used maybe the others are better. But compare Griffin armor skill = 20% Sign Intensity and 20% stamina regen with a full set of medium armor Any Sign ability = 10% Sign Intensity with a linked mutagen and +0.5 stamina per second for each rank in the ability It was really good early on when I didn't have many ability points but now I'd rather have the extra ability, the tradeoff is small.

Just a quick note to keep others from wasting time--even with the key binding change, changing stuff to/from the mouse still seems to be a no-go. My L-mouse button just stopped doing anything when I removed fast attack from it and replaced it with something else. Still an improvement.

I'm 25 hours in and I only just found out I've been doing Places of Power wrong the whole time (not holding A long enough basically). Wondered why they didn't seem to do anything. So yeah I've missed out on having a shitload of buffs and more importantly skill points argh kill me  Hope I can go back and find them all again...

PureRok posted:I read some people post on another forum that they use oils during combat. How do you do this? Whenever I try to refresh oils in combat it tells me I can't do that in combat. Drag the oil directly on the sword instead of right clicking. This is probably a bug I think.

Dr.Cthulhu posted:Just bought this, super excited. Anyway, what is the best thing to put points into off the bat? Someone mentioned something about sun and moon earlier? If you are playing on the top two difficulties (Death March or Blood and Bones or w/e) your health does not regenerate from meditating, so I'd recommend getting the Sun and Stars ability for one point because it grants health regen during daylight which is when you'll be riding around doing stuff most of the time. Otherwise you're stuck with potions and food and that can get expensive and a little annoying early on. If you're playing on Normal or lower difficulty, skip it. All of the trees are great, I would pick one and focus on it. You can respec an unlimited number of times for 1000 gold later on, so experiment.

I loved the first two games but was never a fan of the combat. This one finally gets it right while still forcing you to really use all of your skills effectively. Either I missed it in the other games, or monster weaknesses just weren't as big of a thing. But in this one, I found wraiths being nigh-invincible unless in the Yrden area of effect a really nice touch. There's an actual reason a Witcher is needed to kill wraiths.

Is the stun magic sign as OP as I think it is? All human fights are basically trivialized with it. I started on hard because I want a challenge but basically nothing can touch me. Do later enemies resist it or do I basically need to honour-bound myself to not use it anymore.

Igni is too powerful. High-tier enemies should not be stunable, or the burn should be limited in its effect. As it is, I can chain stun and kill anything that is burnable with zero effort since the alt Igni cooldown is shorter then the length of the burn CC.
