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.
Primarily focuses on igni and yrden, as mentioned in the title. This build is designed to stack as much intensity as humanly possible onto igni, with yrden being used for crowd control and an additional source of damage. Generally pretty easy to operate, as your routine boils down to grouping enemies up in yrden and then lighting them all on fire at once with igni.
Igni itself is actually pretty point efficient, since the base effect is so good.
A little swords, oils, grenades, and signs. Less about optimization and the perfect meta endgame build, but being able to approach a fight (or Axii your way out of one in dialog) with all the tools available to a Witcher. Make sure Automatically Apply Blade Oils is enabled.
Lvl 20 version of my Metamorphosis Whirling Crrit Tank Build. This build starts at Lvl 20 after acquiring the basic Ursine Witcher Gear. The Build uses 2 Decoctions, the Arachas and Troll Decoctions. This build also uses 4 potions, the Full Moon, Maribor Forest, Thunderbolt and Tawny Owl potions.
Focus on Signs first, get Griffin School and Gourmand until you have the Troll decocotion, you can respect later and reuse the points elsewhere.
Only focus on Alchemy and Toxicity after Euphoria is unlocked.
Keep Quen and Yrden trap up from start, burn enemies down with Igni, use Axii and Aard on monsters that need it, like Alghous or humans with shields.
If low on health use active shield to regenerate some.
Adapt skills to your playstyle.

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
