Achemy/bombs build

[Imyo]

Plain and simple, is it possible to make it viable ? Do bombs damage scale later on ? and skills like pyrotechnics are even worth it ?

I would like to start a planning style playthrough and it would be nice to focus on alchemy, mostly oils and bombs.

alchemy is the most fun build, imo, in the trilogy of witcher, go for the potions

Yeah i can clearly see how potions are op af in w3, but i wanted to mix some bombs here and there, even if its not the main thing, for roleplaying purposes mainly.

I'm currently building towards a bomb build (lvl 37). With alot of crit chance, crit dmg and the 3 set from manticore, bombs can do really good dmg. Remember to take all points in the alchemy tree that buffs the bombs aswell as the general skill that inceases bomb dmg but u can only carry 50% of the bombs.

Totally forgot about the general skill, that changes things, im dumping pyrotechnics tho, 150 dmg is close to nothing.
