I'm using a Igni Focused Sign build and it's pretty much faceroll, although only around lvl 12 atm.
Med Armor talent for the Intensity buff
3/3 in first tier of Quen, Fill out the first 2 tiers of Yrden for the turret and then everything else into the first 3 Tier of Igni, I don't think I'll fill out the final tier of Igni for the guaranteed burn since my Sign intensity is 100%+
Gonna fill out potions next under alchemy, Maybe bombs and will see how much damage picking up "Focus : Adrenaline Points also increase your Sign damage" and "Adrenaline Burst : Increases Adrenaline generation by 5%. Using Signs now generates Adrenaline Points" under the general tab gives.
The Yrden alt cast turret will keep mobs back while you cook everything with Igni.

Yrden seems underused because it is a ground trap but damn is it awesome once you have it setup to do dmg as well.

did the same. had the same results. I am not sure what the deal is.
Used the ground spell that makes it tangible, when it hits it.. But was still doing like 1 damage per hit. Forget actual value, but yeah, would have taken like 60-80 hits to kill it. "pretty sure" was using silver sword.
I died, and left, considering how little damage/hit I was doing. I had the mats for spectre oil I believe, but it calls it wraith oil or something at first, so I thought it was something separate for a while.
Came back at level 2. used the spectre oil, and basically 3 shot the thing. so don't know. Either the oil increases your damage a hell of alot more then the 10% it says, or theres something else going on there.
Wonder if the time of day affects their toughness. A later quest you fight a Nightwraith and the bestiary straight up says that you shouldn't fight at at midnight. So maybe the Noonwraith is a walkover at night.

I thought they just flat out don't appear outside specific periods ? There are several wraiths later where upon triggering the fight you just medidate until it shows up. However Yrden makes them take so much more damage I wouldn't be surprised if your first attempt was without it and you were barely scratching them. Basic oils give you +10% damage for 20 hits, hardly noticeable
I killed him before his second phase, whirl attack locks him down. On death march @ level 26.
Yup all the wild hunt bosses suck ass. Holy shit that last boss took forrrevvvveerrrrrr...... Make sure that you gear is appropriate level though. I think when I did them I was undergeared. This game has the strangest leveling/gear system ever. Its like they didn't know how to balance leveling and making things somewhat challenging at the same time. You end up leveling in the middle of quests/event (sometimes even a few times over in the end game) and then your gear is fucking underleveled and you can't upgrade cause your stuck in the middle of a fucking movie.
It's like they radically adjusted xp late in development to story while slashing side quest stuff in some failed attempt at balance.

Yeah, I don't understand gear either. It seems to scale to your actual level rather than the gear's level (partially at least?) Contract quests almost always yield relic gear, which is what I've been using most of the time. Crafted armor is the best and doesn't look like shit.
Yeah some of those contract quests are tough. I'm level 11 atm in Velen, been pretty easy go of it so far, hardest thing so far was the Wild Hunt soldier in that elven crypt you go into with Keira....but holy shit that wraith for the Jenny O the Woods contract is like 10x tougher than anything else I've bothered fighting. She hits like a truck. I'm just gonna pussy out for now and come back to it when I've leveled a bit more.
I've probably died more times in this game than Bloodborne. So many things one-shot you while you are exploring because they outlevel you substantially. Funniest was a gryphon flying over my head while I was riding Roach, and it swooped down and just one-shoted me like a boss lol. Went back to fight it, turned out it had a red skull over it, not sure what level it is but it one-shotted me again while on the ground, so I'm avoiding that whole area for now.

More than that, closer to 10x. Yrden brings the wraith into physical form more or less.
