How to pull off a 'The Witcher'-inspired build?

Hey guys,
This is my first contribution to this forum.
Anyway, let's cut right to the topic:
I upgraded to gold last month and am not very experienced with FF-bilds as of now. (my first and only self-made build is this one: Stealthy Laser-Edge)

That's why I wanted to ask, how the experienced ones of you would pull off a build inspired by the lore of The Witcherlore and/or its characters.

Thanks!

    So, a little fire and a telekinetic-like knock power? Fire in CO may not match up w/ the theme well, but perhaps Pyre fits:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
    Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
    Level 15: Intelligence (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Glacier (Con: 10, End: 10, Dex: 8, Int: 10)
    Level 6: Covert Ops Training (Str: 3, Dex: 3, Con: 3, Int: 3)
    Level 9: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 12: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 15: Coordinated (Dex: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 18: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 21: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Reaper's Touch
    Level 1: Reaper's Caress (Rank 2, Cleaving Strikes)
    Level 6: Way of the Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 8: Form of the Tempest
    Level 11: Cut Down (Nailed to the Ground)
    Level 14: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 17: Molecular Self-Assembly
    Level 20: Particle Wave (Illuminate, Bad Footing)
    Level 23: Pyre (Rank 2, Backdraft)
    Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 29: Reaper's Embrace (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Guard (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35: Ego Surge (Nimble Mind)
    Level 38: Rebirth
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (3/3)
    Dexterity: Power Swell (2/2)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
    Dexterity: Expose Weakness (2/2)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Mastery: Warden Mastery (1/1)

    Can use Particle Wave, the lunge, and/or Conviction to roll MSA. Else does the usual combo to 5x bleed -> rupture thing for Single Blade. Pyre for the theme, wider AoE, and an extra knock source. Gears mostly for Dex and Con, w/ some Int for MSA.

    I guess what you're asking for, then, is some Single Blade mixed with Sorcery and Elemental powers (can't really simulate the alchemy stuff in CO that well). Single Blade is pretty straightforward, but what type of magic attacks would you like to try to emulate here?

    Well, in general I thought about the five known signs, maybe with varying intensity(?) At least Aard and Igni should be included.
    I thought about a mix of Single Blade and Heavy weapons too... (having a steel & a silver sword, so to say)

    Looks like a solid build (at least to an amateur like me), maybe that's what I'll go with...
    Thanks!
