Nice combination with Sunder armor that I will talk about below.įirestream 5/5– Very good skill. Basically this lets us do slightly bit more damage to most enemies with a sword, by weakening their armor. Basically it adds your sword damage into the base damage of signs, this is how we reach such high numbers of damage with Igni, and that's why having level 100 gear with highest possible sword damage is pretty vital here. It's by far the most powerful mutation when it comes to boosting sign damage in new game+. I will go over my choice of skills and comment on why I chose them, while also discussing some other alternatives that you can use as needed.įor starters we are using Conductors of magic mutation. Aard and Axii are just not very effective in new game+. The build primarily focuses on Igni, Queen and Yrden signs, since this is a new game+ build. The rest of armor pieces just have Igni intensity glyphs. Best armor enhancement by far in my opinion for a sign build, and it's especially amazing when fighting large group of foes at later stages of the game. All the foes that die from Igni sign explode, damaging all the nearby enemies in a similar fashion how Rot fiend explosion does, while also reigniting them. Armor piece is enchanted with Eruption Glyph word. For my steel sword, I am using preservation enhancement (Grindstone bonuses never expire), silver sword is equipped with 3x Greater Veles runestones for 15% additional intensity when silver sword is drawn. The latter is not shown on the sheet, but you will have to trust me on this one.Īs you see in the next image below, for this particular build I am using 6 pieces of level 100 Grandmaster Legendary Griffin set. This set up allows each cast of Igni sign to hit for 4692 flat damage, not counting the burn effect, while our Queen shield explodes for around 2000-2500 damage each time it's broken. As you can see in the stats sheet in the two screenshots below, we can easily achieve a sign intensity of 527% and that's not even the maximum number that we can obtain, rather a realistic number that is not too hard to maintain, I will talk about that later in the guide. In advance, sorry for all the grammatical and structural errors, as this is my first time doing this. I decided to make a detailed guide around my favorite build, as a means to leave something behind for the community of the game that I loved so much, and maybe give some fun ideas for more experienced players to mess around with, or help newer players with their planning. My favorite build and play style across both playthroughs involved heavy usage of signs. I played this game for around 450 + hours over the course of last year and loved it so much.
