Griffin Armor set = OP

[-Armageddon-]

Few things to why its the best and most versatile, compared to the other sets:

1.Its a medium armor meaning it will give you more protection than light armor and you won't suffer reduced stamina regeneration compared to the heavy armor.

2.The sign intensity bonus! Even if you don't want to invest in signs(like me lol), all signs will be improved by wearing this armor, meaning bigger chance for aard to knock down, more Igni damage, Quen gets more shield etc

3.The medium armor general skill aka Griffin School Techniques, "Each piece of medium armor increases your Sign intensity by 5% and Endurance regeneration by 5%." Meaning even more increased sign bonuses and crazy fast stamina regeneration, i am able to cast signs every 3-4 sec lol, who needs a heavy armor when you can have quen on you most of the time :)

Yep... I myself prefer the cat armor with the Ursine swords. You should already have a sky high crit chance with the rend and the likes plus the cat school techniques and now add a bit of hit by using the mastercrafted ursine swords which give you 20% or so crit damage as opposed to 10% crit chance when you already have stacked around 60% crit chance. I just blew through everything but I still prefered playing with Ciri ;)

Mby the mage build is better and more fun?? Blazing fire steam with Igni etc :P

I don't understand why the griffin set is the set for magic wielders, it's a medium armor set and that means your stamina regeneration is not going to be at peak performance. I've invested myself into the cat set and am wondering if i should switch to griffin but that would mean carrying a lot of extra weight since i dont want to get rid of my cat set that i've put so much materials into. If you are wearing completely medium armor what does that knock down your stamina regeneration by? I put on a pair of medium boots once and saw my stam regeneration knocked down by 1/second in combat so would an entire set be diminished by 4 points per second or does medium chest armor diminish by more since it's bigger?

It doesn't knock your stamina regeneration, if you use the general skill of the the "griffin armor school techniques" you gain 5% increased stamina regeneration per armor piece, wich is a huge bonus i can cast signs every 3 sec sometimes when i fight a boss i don't even dodge, i put queen start unleashing attacks, when the boss hits me i put another queen, after that quen is gone i dodge once than i put another quen, its op build

One thing i do hate is the look, the belly armor sucks also the green color too.

The problem was not the spell, but the burning effect's logic in this game are broken. Not broken because it bad, but broken because it's OP. I was using a sword that use Burn effect, I'm level 20 fight a Basilisk level 32. Slash the monster while still on my horse ride, the Basilisk got the burn effect and on 5 second, it dies. CDPR burn status effect are still half-made. They should pay attention to it. Now, I never use any attack that had fire related.

I use the mastercrafted feline armor and the mastercrafted ursine swords + the school of cat trait. Works like a charm.
