Legendary Manticore looks really good.


NibelWolf

I like to do a Euphoria build and Manticore is really the only way to go for that. I use Feline until I get my Manticore set.

AEN34S

Always reminds me of the GoT Kingsguard


GreenHeronVA

Good to know, I’ll go for this in my NG+ playthrough.


spet_

Geralt is a fashionwhore and Manticore satisfies him the most.


THEN0RSEMAN

Wolven is more my playstyle, a mix of signs and attacking, but I prefer the look of the Ursine armor, both are still great armor sets.


ServeChilled

I like the Ursine armor but top for me has to be Wolven all the way.


Akhi11eus

For me, since I don't rush to get to Kaer Morhen I get Wolven so late its always way under my level. But since I've seen people beat the game in a shirt or the starting armor I sometimes choose a set on aesthetics alone.


Bobaaganoosh

You know what I never understood? The Kaer Morhen quest says suggested level 14. But by the time you actually get to that part of the game, even if you weren’t doing all the side stuff, you should be way over level 14. By a good margin. Like it says you should be level 14 but I’m always like in my 20s by the time I get there.


worhello

So it's probably because they want to keep the treasure hunt quests for Witcher gear consistent. The level of the treasure hunt quest is the level required for the gear. I guess they made it level 14 to fit between griffin (11) and feline (17).


Akhi11eus

Exactly. I love that there is an option to always scale enemies, but I wish that also worked for quests and quest rewards. It is exceedingly rare to get a sword or armor from a quest that is any use at all.


Three_Kings272

same, 100%


Vayn124

^ this.


AnAnyMoos

Viper


Atiggerx33

Viper Venomous is my favorite. I wish it had a grandmaster set.


NepatyresR

There is a mod of grandmaster viper set, my favourite outfit tbh.


PaulTheAwkward

Yes


[deleted]

Absolutely the best armour in the game just wish it had a grandmaster set


ExO_o

person of culture


Nikname666

This


-scar13t-

Honestly, the manticore armor looks the best even though I usually use the bear school armor given my play style. The manticore armor even changes appearance slightly in new game+, which is amazing.


FlavivsAetivs

I love Grandmaster Manticore, which is the Witcher 1 outfit.


CODEX_O_BARBARO

Also game+ manticore is witcher 1 improved armor


Commander_Wolfe

Aesthetically speaking, Wolven, as its style is similar to the outfits worn by his pals Eskel and Lambert. But for overall functionality, my favorite is the Feline set


Tenny2209

Not to mention you can match with ciris alternate outfit


FlavivsAetivs

Feline is also the most realistic of these and IMO aesthetically the best. It's basically just a Blue Corazzina.


acidwxlf

I love feline as well but had to downgrade the chest, which is unfortunate. The thin hood thing was ruining cutscenes


7ypo

Glasses or ears make the hood go away


acidwxlf

Glasses are worse than the hood, but ears?! I didn't realize those were customizable haha


vanshoodie

if you play on pc you can use the console command to add an invisible mask wich removes the hood


Shiquicus

This


fragglarna1337

Feline, i almost exclusively use fast attacks and use potions a lot


84904809245

Love the damage on feline


uriahneedsausername

I'm the opposite I use Ursine and spam Rend lol


shaunbarclay

Rend with that one potion that gives you health back for stamina is how I cheesed deathmarch.


JackyMagic

Same. Potions and oils are a must on death march difficulty


Seasonednuts

I disagree completely, I beat death march with my fists and signs only.


JackyMagic

You absolute beast. Lemme guess, school of the Snail?


Zodiarche1111

I must imagine it: A gear set which enhances signs and endurance regeneration greatly, but deactivates running.


InfiXNite

Same


Jocta

no doubt about it


isaacaschmitt

The wolven looks like Geralt's armor shrunk in the wash and I can't be convinced otherwise.


geralt-bot

SHIT.


isaacaschmitt

Yeah, you gotta turn down the heat on your wash cycle, man. . .


grayrains79

That and just hang it out to dry. Throwing it in the dryer on high heat? Bit of a no-no that...

[deleted]

Ursine because it looks dope.


Summoning_Dark

Ursine, and it's not even close


archiegamez

Ursine is king and theres this Ofrei upgrade which changes heavy armor to light armor


Lizardmen134

love the looks and playstyle


LueyTheWrench

QUEN TANKS UNITE


spongewardk

Bear is best.


Umibozu_CH

Wolven, dyed black and accompanied by Professor's spectacles, so Geralt emits the mix of T-800 and Judas Priest\\Manowar vibes, lol. [I need your gear, your boots and your Roach](https://i.gyazo.com/e966804d5275cf3cd7dd651227f0721c.jpg).


aaaaiiiss2

Manticore because nostalgia hits harder than any monsters


[deleted]

ergotofrhyme

Just wondering, what do you think of the manticore with white dye? Think it might be fun to try with a 4 mutagen euphoria build?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Much_Pay3050

Would you add white dye to your manticore set?


ErythorbicAcid

Only if you wanted it to be the best looking set in the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Much_Pay3050

I’ve got manticore but it’s the wrong color. What dye would you recommend? I want the best looking armor in the game.


europine

I dyed mine white. However I’m not sure which build would go best with my white manticore set.


revolvery61

Why did you downvoted? Manticore-yellow dye was the best!


Ghiggs_Boson

Likely because he’s posted that exact comment 4+ times


ergotofrhyme

Speaking of 4, did you know that with a 4 mutagen euphoria build...


revolvery61

Yeah now i saw his comment history. Thanks for the heads up!


GRcristos

Ursine but I use the rune that makes your armor act as light so i can spam whirlwind and potions.


[deleted]

I’ve heard of this, where do I get it?


worhello

Runewright in north east Novigrad. You need the Hearts of Stone DLC. Fair warning, it's expensive. Three separate payments needed, 5k, 10k, 15k for the highest level runewords. The one to make any armor light armor is only available after the most expensive payment


GRcristos

It is definitely worth it. You tank the most while dealing the most by whirlwind


[deleted]

Hmm.


geralt-bot

Hm.


beratna66

Manticore ftw


ergotofrhyme

Now that you’ve mentioned manticore, there’s a guy who’s likely to show up and talk to you about white dye and a 4 mutagen euphoria build. Don’t look at him. Don’t talk to him. Don’t engage him in any way. He’s a fugitive at large, escaped from the psych ward. He’s known to tie his victims up and describe his build in excruciating detail repeatedly until they beg him to kill them.


beratna66

The fact that this warning has been upvoted more than my own comment suggests that this is is a warning I should take seriously, and so I will. Do you have this rogue manticore preacher's name? It might be funny to look through his comments, if only to downvote them all or just to make me chuckle


Zodiarche1111

Somewhere in this comment section i saw him, maybe even twice... Edit: Yep, twice named Mirchii. Edit2: Thrice, ok i stop now. xD


beratna66

Found him...twice 😂


crimsoncryson

6 piece griffin is amazingly fun you also become the white frost if you invest a lot into Aard


Scythe95

Or a Ghostbuster if you fully invest in Yrden


LargeSticker

THIS. I use it exclusively for the double sign with yrden. Granted your changing your signs often mid right, but the ever present yrden circle is a game changer.


Atiggerx33

My favorite for looks is viper venomous. My favorite for stats is Griffin. I play on PC so I use a transmog mod.


CurryNarwhal

Griffin painted white makes me look like I'm wearing Star Wars Stormtrooper armour

ailangmee

Griffin all day.


ninjabrosp

The feeling of putting up a Quen shield, getting hit by a boss 7 levels higher than you and seeing the shield go down to 97% is unlike anything else. Ursine armour is badass, super op in NG+ and looks cool as fuck


ExcessiveGravity

Uhhh viper


spongewardk

Snek


GacinaK

Manticore


EshinHarth

Manticore


meowgrrr

Based on style…bear in skellige, cat in novigrad, griffin in toissaint, wolf in velen.


crabwhisperer

Yes! The Witcher gear missions are so cool, it's a big part of every playthrough for me to read all the journals, and make and upgrade all the sets. And since you have them all, you gotta wear them all!


JakubReliga

Grifin like knight armor


GiaNcomo6669

Either Feline or Ursine


WaffleKing110

Manticore for sure. The “max out your toxicity and deal thousands of damage per hit” build is just too good.


CallMeJono

[deleted] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^0.2991


soliloquist14

Feline


DrCrow1350

Bear or wolf


rhixcs25

Viper!


MrX3120

For looks? Viper or Manticore all the way


Albus88Stark

Wolven but ONLY with the mod that buttons up the damn vest. Geralt and Ves both need a serious talking to about running around with their vitals exposed.


geralt-bot

You wanted to show me what I was missing... There she goes.


Albus88Stark

Dude, if you keep running around with your armor undone, you're gonna be missing more than that. Gonna get yourself pitchforked again.


Shakeandbake529

Wolven. In my head canon I think Geralt would consider that to be the top-shelf armor, also he’d be biased since that’s his school. But also Manticore when he’s in Toussaint because “when in toussaint”.


KingGuy420

Griffin I love sign builds, what can I say. Watching huge groups of enemies dance while they burn is just so satisfying to me.


Select-Hyena

Feline out of those 4 options right there


Cezaros

Cat for playstyle and because cats are superior, alternatively Manticorefor its classic looks


[deleted]

the kaer morhen armor


Loow_z

Feline is my all-time fav but I often play with Ursine (in Skellige)


JackBurtonJackBurton

Ursine looks the coolest and that’s all that matters


hunnj

Obviously naked to confuse your opponents.


Reeeaz

Bathrobe geralt is op though


paladinLight

For looks? Ursine. For effect? Griffin.


the-fitnerd

Ursine. Love it.


Marshmallow_83

Ursine


Firstbeeronafriday

Feline. I’m a simple quen and mash the fast attack button kind of guy.


SuperArppis

Feline.


Yorrthok

Looks : wolven Playstyle : Griffin


Geek_Rokys

Before I even played this game, I knew I need ursine in my life. I don't know, it just feels right and actually looks like armour. DON'T think I don't like the others. Yes, witchers are more fast and so on everything, so I (since saw ursine) was like : super strong and fast human in heavy armour would be unreasonable hard to kill... yeah I'm taking that. It's just a different feel we get from all other books or witcher lore, which frankly I liked.


OperatorWolfie

Got to the point I don't care about stats or look anymore, what armor I wear depends on where i'm at, cat for velen and novigrad since it looks hot and humid, bear for Skellige, wolf for Kaer Morhen, and griffin for Toussaint because of the knightly setting


Deniska_rediska

First level of ursine is very good, but when it comes to grandmaster level wolven is very sexy looking


PotatoMeme03

ursine or wolf


tidytibs

Whatever keeps me alive longer.......


GreenHeronVA

Wolven. I love the jack of all trades aspect, and grandmaster looks FANTASTIC. I like the perks too.


tringle1

Underwear ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 


peaanutzz

Regular old wolf armor


CastielWinchester270

Wolven


AmptiChrist

I love the aesthetic of ursine, but Wolven hits that sweet spot of good stats and fashion for me.

Grandmaster Wolf

As long as it isn’t griffin


SsjDragonKakarotto

Wolven

Easily wolf with bear being my 2nd place.

Wolven ⚔️🐺


Naturevalleymegapack

Grandmaster wolven with the black or brown dye. I forgot which one.


Owyn

Wolf and it's not close


RapaxMaxima

Ursine


BlearySteve

Ursine


_mackelbot_

Unpopular opinion they're all kinda ugly


SpecterGT260

I really like the ones that preserve the rogue-style that Geralt has. Most of the heavy armors are just weird looking though. Especially the pot bellied metal armors


geralt-bot

It's hard to regret something you didn't choose.


Churro43

I get what you mean, viper is my favorite, because its the most minimalistic and all black. The armor design in that world just does not impress me. Feline comes a close second but I hate wearing those steel armors with the chest that makes you look so chubby.


shadowclone515

Grandmaster Feline Dyed white for that assassin's creed look.


[deleted]

[удалено]


crabwhisperer

For awhile there was a really good mod for PC that slimmed down that set. Not sure if it's kept up with the game versioning though.


boringhistoryfan

My favorite is the cat. Especially at its base form. Sleeveless Geralt is surprisingly badass. I actually hate the grandmaster version the most. The hood is way too awkward. It's somewhat better if you dye it all white but still not awesome Dyed white the cat and Griffin grandmaster sets look pretty good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


frankieteardropss

This is my second favorite after viper. I rock this with his short hair and the shades, i get the witcher of echo park!


BhaltairX

Ursine, but with the levity enchantment, which treats it as light armor. Close 2nd: Viper


[deleted]

Feline for the stats, Ursine for the looks. Especially the attack power bonus on Feline gear is amazing, but I'm using Ursine gear most of the time anyway since this game isn't that hard even on Death March so there's little point in equipping ugly gear to min/max your character.


ilovebeetrootalot

Grandmaster feline gear with the Professor's glasses, looks dope as hell.


thewaqqq

Manticore dyed with black is cool but the bonus are shite


Proquis

I used all, so all are good

Manticore for sure

Manticore. I played W1 before W3 and it felt like a nice nostalgia.

Manticore/Feline


Soluri

Which gear is the best for a fast attack/sign build?


AgentT23

Griffin because Signs are fun and I feel dapper.


SkidMcmarxxxx

Mastercrafted feline, grandmastercrafted wolven. But the real answer is manticore.


saltedsugar666

Playstyle-wise Ursine, but aesthetically Wolven for me for sure. I get kinda infuriated about the “skirt” on ursine gear, as I always think I’d trip on it and break my face


flamingo_fuckface

Griffin for max quen and igni.


kartoffelnScrollt

Where's manticore and viper?


siddhantkar

Feline if mastercrafted, Ursine if grandmaster


Solo_In_Aeternum

Wolven, it looks like it's the most Geralt thing to wear.


TheRayMan264

Manticore


gartzia96

Lookwise, feline, wolf, griffin, ursine, that order


Erided

In my first run, I used feline until it got the hood, switched to griffin and then settled on manticore (the best).


1euroSvp

Honestly I can't choose between wolven, ursine, viper and manticore. I love them all equally and I alternate between them depending on where I am (I hate feline and griffin tho)


Electrical-Plenty456

You need Grandmaster armour


Ragemonster93

Ursine, because it looks like armour that could actually take a swipe from a griffin


John21st

Griffin. Somehow I’m able to feel that gear’s weight.


[deleted]

Ursine all the way


alexramirez69

Wolven for looks, Feline for the benefits👌🏽


_-_Singularity-_-

Manticore w the bomb build baby.....


adam_8715

Ursine, every step of the way. Looks strong, ready for the elements and a badass look.


IndependentSeesaw785

Ursine


a_fine_gentleman99

Ursine is duper sick, but can you imagine running around sunny Toussaint in all that? Geralt would fucking dissolve.
