The Witcher 3 Remastered Beginner builds
Builds that are easy to start and forgiving to play. A solid pick for a first character, while you're still learning what the game rewards.
First max out Wolf School Techniques, then Resonance, then Focus, then the Combat skills. If you hunt down Places of Power in Velen, you should be able to finish this build right around lvl 11, just in time to equip Griffin School Armor.
This build is better than pure Signs because you might as well hit them with your sword while you're waiting for your Stamina to regen anyway. Cast, slash slash slash, cast, slash slash slash is simply more efficient.

Core build & synergy between Skills->Resonance, Adrenaline, Focus, and Wolf School Techniques. Adrenaline boosts weapon damage and Sign Intensity through Focus, while Resonance converts that Sign Intensity into additional sword damage. Wolf School Techniques further enhances both, creating a powerful hybrid of swordplay and Signs.
Made this awesome build for my girlfriend. Good to use if you want the best of signs and sword and like Yrden and Quen. Very beginner friendly with the inclusion of Exploding Shield, Resolve and Undying.
some Combat skills are bugged and do not work: https://www.reddit.com/r/Witcher3/comments/1wyacyi/witcher_3_remastered_500c_currently_bugged_skills/
Early build: use Adrenaline to boost damage of attacks. Use Quen & Igni with Adrenaline and Stamina. Melt Armor gives a good chance to burn enemies even with low Sign Intensity and reduces humans armor.
Light Armor = + stamina regen. order: combat skills -> general skills ->melt armor ->max razor focus
