The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Xant]

That is because you are not on xants level of obviously awesome bullshit level of playing field. That, or he probably found a group without archers, then proceed to repeatedly bait them with crossbow. Must have taken ages...
The point was that you should know you cant really beat a group of enemies when expecting not to get hit.

That's called projecting. You being shit in everything you do doesn't make others as bad as you.

Thats odd. Whenever I tried to take someone even 10 levels higher than me out, I did no damage at all and instantly got my ass hammered with 3 swings.

Humans are a lot easier than monsters when it comes to levels, especially if you've got a sword with stacked stun/freeze/etc.

Projecting what? bullshit from your finger-tips onto the screen of my browser?

[Xant]

Game's a bit too easy against level-appropriate human enemies right now with a 10% stun sword and +freeze +stagger runes.

I love that the combat, especially on higher difficulties, is take-and-deal-high-damage. Much more interesting than 20 minute fights.

I dunno I playing on hard and can feel pretty dam grindy sometimes, the wild hunt guy fight was seriously like 35 minutes of me tickling him. Thats partly because he heals up like twice, also by time I get to him my sword is down to ~80% after tickling him to death its probs like 50%.

I'm not so sure they really considered and balanced for the fact that hard difficulty = more enemy hp = more durablity loss.

Wild hunt guy? You mean the werewolf? Cause thats the only enemy I can recall that regens health superfast. You have to play it smart. Use poison sword, thunderbolt potion, igni sign and some bomb and he goes down easy. Each enemy has a very massive weakness, which you need to take advantage of. I had very hard time with those spectrebosses. I gave them no damage at all and I couldnt figure out what I did wrong. Turns out you had to do that trap sign and lure it in there. It loses its spectre form inside it and you can kick the shit out of it easy. If its not a level issue, its the issue of applying the right tactics to the right kind of monster. Which I really like about this game.

That fight was super annoying.

Repairs don't seem that big a deal to me.. I just did the Swords and Dumplings quest, suggested level 24, and I had to hit everything a ton of frigging times for them to die. My sword needed to be repaired by kits twice during that whole long-ass quest. Not that bad.

Keira is real help in taht fight. Her spells do no damage, but they stagger enemies. Still that that regen is real douchebaggery. I had to resort to rolling after every strike, wait for her to stagger him, then hit him and occasionally throwing in igni, rinse and repeat.

[Tibe]

Jup Xant. You were right. Human opponents work differently. You can totally pick a fight with someone who is waaaay higher leveled than you and come out at the top.

That's why you actually read the beastiary before you go into "boss fights" - it tells you the weaknesses.
Especially useful when using oils.

There was one werewolf that kicked my ass, was no entry in bestiary. I just snuck past it then later on in the quest it was dead as part of cutscene, pretty sure game assumed I killed it

personally not sure why I anyone would use any sign in combat other than quen. quen quen quen quen quen.

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Keira did a ton of damage in my wild hunt battle. The guy had a full bar left and Keira one hit crit killed him.

Best bomb early game is dragon dream. Gas bomb so you lure enemies into it then set it on fire with igni, one hit kills most enemies and does a to. Of damage to bosses

Well its awwright as long as you dont get hit, right?

[Xant]

Yeah, that's the worst part about the Signs, also something that's not improved since TW2. Same thing there, no sense using anything but Quen.

You guys obviously havent tried aard on humanoids then. Knockdown for instakill?

Igni on horseman is all one needs.

To be honest, fighting on horse seem to be pretty suckish. Geralt is nowhere near as flexible when mounted as on foot.
