The First Abilities You'll Get

I guess I'm not the only one who already has the basics of a build in mind. Share with us the first skills you intend to get and, if you want, comment the skeleton of your final build... even if it all may change once you actually get the game. "No plan survives the first shot", and such.

1st - Deflect Arrows, even though I don't intend to level it up anytime soon (to reflect arrows at shooters).

These will probably be the next one, but I still have no idea of the order among them:

Rend, Strong Attack Damage, Alternate Axii, Another Upgrade for Axii (for bonus damage, OHK%, or whatever), Alternate Aard, Some Knockdown% upgrade or something similar.

So... put them to sleep and split them in half. If there are many, blast them off and finish the ones who fall. That's the plan.

I see my final build with one bundle (of 3 skills) for sword, 2 for signs and 1 for general or alchemy. I call it brute Jedi, because of Aard and Axii, but with heavy sword attacks, instead of swift Jedi swordplay.

I intend to go heavy on alchemy on my second playthrough.

What about you guys?

Deflect arrows, Geralt isn't Geralt without that ability!

Upgrade Igni to watch them all burn!

I tend to play a cunning linguist so basically anything that lets me jedi mind trick or convince people. I really like that I don't have to invest in signs I'm not immediately interested in when I want to buff just a particular one.

1st Deflect Arrows.
2nd Deflect Arrows.
3rd Igni.
4th Igni, Cause watching them burning feels exciting.
5th Max out Igni.

I think I'm starting to see a pattern, here.

I just want to set the world on FIRE!!!

parrying arrows, a lot of swordfighting.

I will generally try to balance the character with a variety of skills.

Deflect arrows

 

[ALPES]

Whirlwind. That looked so epic in the GOG twitch session.

Will have to look in-game and consider what loot I've found so far. Deflect arrows is always fun, and I'm a fan of Aard to supplement my sword skills, so might try to upgrade it ASAP.
