Which Weapon Trait For Dark Brotherhood
RedFireDisco
✭✭✭
I'm running dual wield and this new update has really thrown me. Here are the options for a dps:
Charged: This trait now increases your chance to apply status effects instead of increasing the amount of enchantment charges on your weapon.
Infused: This trait now also reduces the cooldown on your weapon enchantment in addition to increasing its damage.
Nirnhoned: This trait now increases the damage of the weapon.
Powered: This trait now increases your healing done instead of reducing the cooldown on your weapon enchantment.
Sharpened: This trait now increases your Physical Penetration and Spell Penetration by flat values instead of percentages.
Weighted: This trait now grants you a chance to gain additional Ultimate whenever you generate Ultimate normally, and has been renamed to Decisive.
I'm leaning towards nirnhoned but I'm unsure of the wording "increases the damage of the weapon".
Would this increase overall weapon damage or just the damage of the weapon itself? There is a huge difference.
Infused will be worthless for stam builds stacking weapon damage enchants with infused, because of the downtime of poisons now canceling out that trait when the poison procs are active. Maybe not worthless, but not the best.
"Decisive" interests me. A stam blade running two of these with cheap incap strike and siphon ult bonuses would have a lot of ult uptime.
What do the wise folk of eso think?

✭✭✭✭Nirnhoned still way to go, coz it increase it's weapon damage is equal to increase of spell/weapon damage, it means not just higher damage but affecting all abilities including defensive like healing.
Powered is 3.5% heal buff for 1h and 7% for 2h. It will be stronger that precise for PvE healers but in PvP it is less than minor vitality buff even.Edited by Cinbri on May 17, 2016 7:57AM -

No matter how well you played,when the game is over,the king and pawn go back in the same box.
Be careful what you ask for from zo$, you always get punished.

Someone in my guild said that for PvP, Sharpened is good until you reach 10k Spell Penetration. Otherwise Nirnhoned wins
For Magicka builds ofc"In the Storyteller's name, I stand upon the bones of the world. I drink in the promise and power of nature's law, and breathe out my thanks."

flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Everything i have read sharpened is way better than nirnhoned on PTS, maybe things have changed.

That's true for live but for PTS and Darkbrotherhod that's no longer the case for sharpen it'd the best for all DPS builds magica and stam. Nirnhoned increase the damage value of the weapon that value that's 1100 on your weapons that's what being increased not your weapon and spell damage that's on your character sheet .So yes Nirn pretty much useless now .leepalmer95 wrote: »Sharpened does the most dmg.

✭✭If you have a pure damage bar = Sharpened.
If you have a pure healing bar = Powered.
If you have a hybrid bar for both = Nirnhoned.
err fixed, thanks Tryxus.Edited by phaneub17_ESO on May 17, 2016 12:16PM -

✭For the cookie cutter, follow the leader, best in slot;
Sharpened
Followed by precise and Nirn
However the trait changes and gear sets open up some nice possibilities for lots different non-cooked cutter ideas.
Tavas Blessing, Decisive plus shuffle will be about as close as you can get to unlimited ultimate. -

True. If blessing of the potentates was v16, it would make it very interesting.
