Need advice on what training path skills to get

[FatatasPritas]

Hey guys what skills are worth getting in the training path that would proove useful in dark mode, my play style is swordmanship with some magic.

Thanks alot.

Go for swordmanship with some magic.

Just take the Sword path completly and gradually level up your Signs in the Magic path.

The Main Signs I would level up would be Ard for sure (Stun Is a great friend), Quen of course, and Ingi for incineration. Other than that get sourdsmanship maxed out, and put a few traits that help bombs and resistance to bleed and poisin in the alchemy branch. They are at the beginning of the tree.

Hope It helped! :)

The sword path is the most useful. A bit of magic won't hurt but the aclchemy branch is all but useless.

Just get to the top of the swordsmanship tree first, spend 1/2 points just to get there asap and unlock the top 3 skills, then spend 5-6 points on Quen sign in magic tree, then spend the rest on the swordsmanship. Also don't spend more than 6 points on training tree (2/2 Hardiness, 2/2 Parrying, 1/2 Arrow Redirection and 1/2 Dagger Throwing,), and don't bother with Riposte and Instakill chance skills.

I normally go both Swordsmanship and Magic. I quite like using the Heliotrope sign.

Yea, I'd probably focus on Swordsmanship and Quen sign because it's a pretty great tanking spell.

how I beat insane:
choose any training path sills, but unlock arrow redirection and get +1 vigor from the oher mutagen skill
one point to improve dodge, then take the backstab/violence/whirl/sudden death path to combat acumen, unlock last swordsman ability and put a second point into combat acumem
then go for alchemy, taking side effect 2 and impregnation 2, unlock the rest of the mutagen skills there (via taster) then you can socket power mutagens and put 2 points into catalysis, the rest of your points can go into everything that enhances damage (if you make use of operator&mutagen glitch you can put a second point into dodge, maximize all damage skills and still have one point left)
this maximizes your damage, I hit the very last human in the game for 730 without backstab, your hits kill enemies even if they are blocking
seriously everyone saying alchemy path is useless should just go away, it's the most OP path of all, IF used correctly

the sword path is the most useful, followed by magic
