Weapons, Infused Trait

MilwaukeeScott

Most of the things I read and the people I talk to say to use Divines on weapons, not Infused.

I'm not a math wiz but when added with an Enchantment that deals XX Magicka damage and restores XX Magicka, my numbers say to go with Infused.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any and all help!

You can't get divines on weapons, only armour... I prefer sharpened or nirnhoned over infused, for extra spell penetration on my weapons

Ack, I meant nirnhoned. Sorry about that!!!

And the EDIT button isn't there today.

Edit, I guess we can't edit the first post in a topic?

I think nirnhoned is much better than infused because the increase in magic damage and return from the enchant is so small, even with infused, and it will only work with weapon attacks, and not the rest of your skills like nirhoned does

Infused is usually good on master weapons and they are farmed in Dragonstar Arena

Best traits for crafted set weapons are Precise, Sharpened and Nirnhooned. Because you deal more damage or crit and thus also deal more damage. The magicka recovery glyph is also very good, but it's best not to go with infused trait.

If you're not v16, don't go with nirnhooned. The trait stone alone costs around 20k in PC/EU.
