The Best Gear ? Weapons and Armor ( armour)

[theseeker52]

It would be interesting to have your opinions on what you favor as the best gear recommendation for the witcher,whether it be witcher gear or not and why. Right now I am using the cat gear.

[Kid Named Finger]

Cat Gear and Ursine Gear are my favorite

I use wolf gear (hybrid build), previously I used griffin but I like wolf better in terms of looks. Still using griffin swords though, the gold looks nice with wolf set.

All about lookin sexy for the ladies. Ursine ftw

Looks are great ! I was thinking more in terms of defense and offense, especially at the highest levels of difficulty.

[GarnetFire17]

Ursine anything buy swords is blashpemy.

[Ringo]

I'm in NG+ on Death March and Griffin set stocked with Igni glyphs melts anything that isn't immune to Igni. Like, embarrassingly so. Even stuff 10+ levels higher. Assuming you use a Signs build. Plus incoming damage isn't an issue since stamina regen is super fast and alternate Quen covers healing if you don't want to do it yourself. Pretty much don't die. Unfortunately anything other than the mastercrafted Griffin set looks rather pooey.

Thanks man ! Your comments are more what I was looking for.:)

I want the Viper sets! Anyways, Ursine I think, is best in terms of defense since it's a heavy armor. But the downside is you get longer stamina regeneration. For now, the Wolven sets is fine for me, more of the balanced gear.

cat gear and ursine swords for heaviest possible hits and crits

[MaximumEffort]

Feline armor and Grifin swords. Best looking gear and best swords

[Gabriel Angelos]

I favour the Masterwork Wolven set. Loving those shoulder spikes. The Superior Feline set also looked good the masterwork version was overkill in the neck area.

Unfortunately the witcher sets are the only way to go as they are still way too powerful. I liked the look of many of the relic swords but they were just too weak.

In terms of looks my favourite is the superior Ursine armour. I really didn't like the look of mastercrafted though so I swapped to master Wolven which is my second favourite in terms of looks.
I wore Ursine for most of my play time because I primarily use melee and I liked the high defense. Honestly though, focusing on melee wasn't the best for my build though because I actually developed a more balanced melee and signs chaarcter so switching to Wolven made more sense in that regard as well.

Best set is Griffin (armor and swords) if you get runes for igni. That melts everything, but it gets boring after some time. And when you find fireproof enemies, you'll be on a serious disadvantadge.

If you want a more dynamic combat, get cat gear with hemorrage runes. Even when the enemy is immune to hemorrage they'll get some hard hitting strikes. So it's more reliable than the igni build.


Tho i prefer the wolf gear as a jack of all trades. It boosts your melee and your signals just enough so your Quen will last for a couple hits even on max difficulty unless you are against something really hardhitting foes.
It's a balanced gear and quite fun to use.


If you plan on playing on max difficulty, be aware that you'll need to dodge a lot, and ursine gear (as any other heavy armor) has a great energy regeneration debuff. So you'll get less damage per hit, but you'll get hit more often (unless you are really good at energy management).

Thanks for all your comments and ideas:D

The best thing about ursine and feline gears is that they may have poor 6 set bonus (yet mean style!) but they also have a crossbow of their own so that you can acquire the six-piece bonus while having another steel or silver sword or chest armour or trousers that might have better statistics than the ones of the chosen set...( e.g retain the sword olgierd gives you) where griffin gear which is the one i favor and the one with the best imo six set bonus, cant tolerate this!(no griffon crossbow) This game is perfectly ballanced!!!
