Would it be beneficial to run nirnhoned and precise swords for my magblade or just nirnhoned on both?

    Sharpened is better than Nirnhoned this patch. They did not properly scale sharpened and it gives 5000 armor and spell penetration which is roughly the equivalent of having 100 CP in Piercing and 100 CP in Spell Erosion. Meaning it massively outperforms everything else right now. @Asayre did the numbers and it was roughly 13% increase.

    Well if that is the case then they will just nerf it later will they not? Same with Defending. That said, he can pick Nirnhoned or Precise so he doesn't have to make MORE weapons with those traits when Sharpened is nerfed.

    Put Nirn on your main weapon and sharpened on your off weapon for max damage
    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    Defending is actually not exactly the same because it does not stack with those multiple passives that increase your damage in % based on you weapon damage. At least I don't know of any passives that increase armor and magic resist in % (unless they bring back the old nirnhorned trait)

    I was referring to how it is scaled to the same magnitude as Sharpened is all, outside influences aside.

    Short answer for pure DPS output any mob above 12 K (I think that's the magic number but not 100 % sure) resistances - sharpened

    If your healing or off healing precise gives you a better crit heal percentage and it statistically a litter better then Nirn. If you running a fully optimized raid or dungeon group where major/minor fracture and breech, crushing enchant, and night mothers gaze is being used precise may get you better results.

    Last is Nirn.

    And lastly all of this math is situational and subject to change depending on what other people run or use or how they play. Not to mention anything the developers change and tell us about or change and don't tell us about. Almost nothing is better all of the time in every situation, so if you want to run Nirn and precise because you think it is cool and enjoy it run Nirn and precise and enjoy it. Because it is cool.
