Summary:

Whirl it up or knock it down! This build was created to take full advantage of Wolven gears attributes! Lovely mix of skills lets you feel like a real Witcher when both swords and signs are usable in tandem – works like a charm! The slogan for this build could be “Offense is your best defense”!

---

How it works:

• Wolven Gear + Griffin School Techniques + Sign Skills
  • Faster stamina regeneration helps recovering from both Whirl and Sign usage
• Master of crowd control
  • Whirl kills everyone coming too close
  • Aard Sweep gives time to breath between assaults
• Use Aard to knockdown lighter opponents
  • Finish them before they get up for easy kills!
• Use Quen as often as possible
  • Protects you while using Whirl
  • Heals Geralt while he needs time to breathe
• Mix up possible active sign skills!
  • Use Delusion while doing quests including human interaction
  • Replace Aard Sweep with Firestream when dealing with single opponent or enemies weak to fire!
• Use White Honey to clear toxicity after battle if you still have potions left!

Pros and Cons:

+ Mixing both sword and sign skills makes build very versatile and satisfying
+ Unique skill and gear combination prefers offensive playstyle
+ Quen heals you when toxicity is too high to use Swallow

– Potions aren’t as usable without alchemy investments
– Decoctions are really risky with only 100 maximum toxicity
– Wolven gear is obtainable very late in the game…
