What are the preferred weapon/shield traits?

Chrysa1is

Can anyone tell me what the preferred weapon/shield traits are for the following?:

Shields:
Destro Staff:
Restro Staff:
Bows:
Metal Weapons:

Appreciate the feedback.

Shields: If you want the best resistance bonus, Nirnhorned is just slightly more than Reinforced at Gold level due to it double dipping with the shield bonus CP star. (since it is additive to the base value)

Destro: generally gonna want sharpened if you're doing anything, Charged may be more useful if you're running a lightning staff in small groups as you can reliably proc minor vulnerability. In Trials it's generally good for one player to have a charged lightning staff.

Resto: Probably powered or precise.

Bows: Sharpened
Metal Weapons: Sharpened.

Resto for PvP is best used as defending.

Rise from the dead, short-lived post! Rise once again! Seriously though...PvE Tanks: Shield-Reinforced or Infused? Also, is 3 infused on large, rest Sturdy the way to go, or Reinforced armor to?

Not so true anymore was nerfed into the ground for literally no reason.

It still 'works', but is so much worse now.

Reinforced is only useful if you need it to hit the armor cap. A lot of tanks run Mighty Chudan, and reinforced becomes useless pretty quickly.

After that, it will really depend on your build. Personally, I use Divines.

yes, i know. you are sound like Chicken Little here. the trait you descibe as being "nerfed into the ground" were overperforming and brought in line to the other traits, now there are actual options. both sharp and defending are still good at what they are for.
