Infused vs Bloodthirsty

webrgesner

I use to play 3 infused and was hitting 46k dps easily. Then i changed to 2 bloodthirsty for a while and when i did a dps test later on i was struggling to hit 44+.
Then last night i switched one of my jewelry to 1 infused (so i got 2 infused now) and i did a dps parse and my first 2 parse i hit 46+
Im a stamina nb khajiit with 82% crit fully buffed. Gears are VO, Hundings, Veli, Veli.
I dont do trials often but i do play a lot of dungeons and all i can say is infused is way better. You can put your dots down and spin to win and kill all mobs FAST. When bosses goes down to 25% hp they would only have 800k - 1.3m hp (which you could burn fast without bloodthirsty)
I remember also playing VMA with 3 infused and i was clearing up enemies faster than when i had 2 bloodthirsty.
All i can say is that infused is way better (in my opinion) But in trials im betting bloodthirsty would be a higher DPS mainly because the boss will still have 10m hp at 25%
So9 if im not mistaken BiS for dungeons/arenas = INFUSED
12man Trials = Bloodthirsty
What do you PvE'ers think?

3x bloodthirsty is best for stamblade easily 50k+

I see no point in bloodthirsty unless doing nothing except vet trials. The damage you lose from 100% to 25% with bloodthirsty compared to the damage you gain under 25% would be too much loss unless boss had 50m+ health. Although a lot of boss mechanics can get hectic when they’re low health so a quick burn could pay off so it’s whatever. 1-2k dps difference on a dummy can’t really relate to a boss and mechanics but imo I do agree with the OP with infused being a lil better. I’d even use robust over bloodthirsty.

Ok i thought it was just me but we share the same opinion! I would use robus if i was a redguard and using selenes.
But youre right with mechanics getting hecktic at 25% so for that reason ill keep 1 bloodthirsty. Also people have clamed there are barely any difference with 1 bloodthirsty 2 infused and 3 infused

Why? It's a legitimate question. Without Combat metrics on console it's very hard to tell what is "best" and under what conditions. I agree with the op, for 4 man content and solo instances it's pretty hard to beat VO. I've started seeing that bloodthirsty is overrated for most content and that infused is indeed better.

Bloodthirstly will only kick in on the last 25% of the damage, I would go 2 Infused 1 Bloodthirsty purely for that extra 10% towards the end of the fight.
