Fucking Christ, how do I GIT GUD at the combat in this game? I'm getting my ass handed to me

quen and dodge
literally it
play defensively, use the shield spell and the charm spell, they are the key to beating most shit without getting fucked up.
Re-spec an actually good build if you haven't already.
Actually drink your potions during fights.
Look at bestiary and see what bombs are good vs what you're fighting.
Spam quen.
Craft gear/
alt-dodge > space-dodge
Why is the magic so shit in this game?
Fuck Fallout 4, this is GOTY.

This is what I've been trying to do. Is there really no other way to play combat without getting demolished? This super defensive shit is a letdown.
I'm cool with skilled dodging (I love Viewtiful Joe) but when it's time to attack I feel like I have no other option other than to use quen.

Witcher aren't exactly magicians, the signs are more of a defensive mechanism against sorcerers than anything.
>>323263135
spam quen
roll like sonic
short combos
>>323264003
Does Yrden even do anything? It doesn't trap shit.
I don't remember having these issues in Witcher 2
>>323264035
Lay down yrden and position enemies on it so you can get more attacks in before you have to dodge.
>>323264190
I feel like they really nerfed Yrden in witcher 3
In 2 it was just a straight stun, no questions asked, that usually even worked on boss characters
Now it's just a shitty slow, they even made it mandatory to use vs ghosts so you'd be forced to use it every so often
>>323263135
stop using the roll and use the sidestep
use the short hop to get behind enemies, specialize in crit

Invest points into Igni, faggot. You'll breeze through the game. Igni has a burning effect that makes 98% of enemies stop fighting and writhe around in agony. In addition to humans, it works on nearly every monster, including draconids.
>>323264946
>it works on nearly every monster,
they must have taken points from dragon's dogma
>>323264946
>You can level Igni all the way up Immediately.
Fuck off faggot.
>>323263135
don't lock on. kill archers first, hit and run when confronted with groups (unless it's a pack of wolves)
>>323264946
igni is great, but he's gonna need to toughen up to beat monsters/bosses that aren't affected by it. learning how to actually fight with a sword will be important
>>323263135
Are you playing deathmarch? The beginning is the hardest, as you level up and progress i you will gain abilities that completely trivialize all enemies. I suggest Quen+Axii+Fast Attack build if you're shit at dodging. Otherwise go full Sword dps if you can dodge and spam away.
>>323263135
Lock FPS at 30
>>323265354
Invest in Igni and the put everything else into building up quick attack. Any enemy not effected by Igni, you can just hit with your sword.
>>323265426
No I'm just playing at whatever's "Normal" (2nd difficulty). I like dodging so I'll just go at it with sword dps. Thanks
