Nirnhoned - Slight Buff?

Vaoh

It seems that there is no reason really to use this trait anymore. On weapons, it is outclassed by Sharpened/Precise. On armor, I'd rather use Reinforced/Sturdy. Perhaps you can find some room here for Nirnhoned but I'd think it's not really worth it over Reinforced/Sturdy/Infused.

Am I missing something or is Nirnhoned, the hardest to obtain/rarest trait, honestly useless except for learning 9 traits?

This trait should be BiS, at least by a tiny bit in PvE, over Precise and Sharpened for weapons. It should also see use on armor and find a way to be helpful, even if not for tanking.

So yeah I just wanted to make a quick poll about this. Should Nirnhoned on weapons and/or armor get buffed at least a little?

Buff Nirnhoned on weapons

For the armor nirn to get buffed, they'd need to raise the resistance cap. Until then both Nirnhoned and Reinforced will be third
tier traits.

The weapon trait should be buffed to 14% and sharpened should be nerfed about 60%

Buff Nirnhoned for both weapons and armor

Nirnhorned should definitely be worth the price and rarity. However, I don't have 9 traits on everything yet, so they should wait to buff it until after I do. That way the prices will be lower.

Buff Nirnhoned for both weapons and armor

Nirnhoned needs a buff.
It should makes sens to use it in both Weapons and/or armor.

I just hope they don't counter balance it so it's without any reasonable doubt the go to trait to use, no matter what.

In a perfect world, all traits should be viable for different reasons / builds.
It doesn't feel like this to me right now.

It wouldn't feel like this either if Nirn was just as strong as it was in the past (compared to Sharpened and other trait).
