Question regarding charged trait and bows.

Ok so I was thinking of maybe trying to utilize the charged trait to make myself a little unique. My question is this. I know that the charged trait increases proc chance for status effects (burning, chilled, concussion, defile, poison, not bleed from what I've been told.) And that there are baseline % for different attacks.

With poison injection I should have a baseline of 20% ti proc poison because of the single target aspects to it. So if I was to use a charged bow would that become 60%? Also if I was to use a fire glyph, would that also have a 60% chance to proc burning? I just thought that having the 3 dots (PI, burning and poison) would allow for some nice pressure damage in pvp and decent numbers for pve.

Plus then I could use my valkyn skoria gear and have a way to proc semi regularly.
PvP needs more love.

    charged impacts all the status effects you on all the skills you do, not just the enchant, it multiplies the following chance by 220%.

    Weapon enchants 20%
    Standard ability 10%
    Area of effect abilities 5%
    Damage over time abilities 3%
    Area of effect damage over time abilities 1%

    poison injection is a "Standard ability" followed by a "Damage over time ability". both these would go you 32% and 9.6% of the time you hit them with the skill.

    the weapon glyph is probably what you think is the 20%. that would go to 64%, so almost every other time the enchant proced, which is up to every 4 seconds.

    what i would do is use a shock enchant and charged, every other time you hit them with them with the enchant, you will likely proc concused, which is a small dot and debuffs the target with minor vulnerability. that is 8% more damage. i would do this because dark elves are immune to burning, do to their passive fire resists and argonian and wood elves are immune to the poisoned status effect, which is a 6 second dot.
