[PvE] Is Infused back bar ever going to change?

Or are we forever going to be using Infused + Berserker for the rest of this game's lifespan?

I know it's strong. Stronger than majority of other choices (yes I know there's niche stuff like the Prismatic for vMA, etc), but it's kinda boring?

    Infused? No, I don't think so. Since it's the only one that really continues to have an effect when off-bar (since Enchants can still proc from weapon skills).

    But with recent changes to status effects, there's some hope. Charged Weapon (Shock Damage) for instance, can actually beat out Berserker when Sorcs use it.
    If Dual-wield backbar ever makes a comeback (Blackrose Prison daggers, anyone?), then at least half of your backbar enchants won't be Berserk ;)
    I think it is central to ESO's well-being to critique the developers when they change the game (or fail to change something).
    But the negativity can be exhausting, so I vow to post 50/50 negativity and appreciation.

    Prismatic glyphs on weapons changed a few years ago and I suspect aren't really useful for almost anyone anymore.

    There is really no tactile difference between enchantments that make one setup more or less "boring" than another. They are all fire and forget. So ultimately, it really makes no difference which enchant/trait combo is best when they functionally interact with combat in the same manor. It's not like sets where the mechanics of the set drastically can change from 5 piece bonus to 5 piece bonus.

    I don't think you get the benefit of the increased status proc chance when you are on your front bar if you have back barred a charged staff. I've always seen guides say to use charged front bar and infused back bar.

    It would be awesome if decisive worked on back bar, but I think infused is really the only weapon trait that stays active when you switch to your front bar - which is why it is the only choice for back bar use. With how much focus there is on ulti gen and ulti spam, Decisive would be enticing if it received a slight buff and worked the same way. Sadly, it doesn't.
