    ^This.
    I like Divines on small pieces (waist, feet, hands, shoulders) and Infused on big pieces (head, chest, legs).

    Yeah, Divines, Infused, Sturdy (for tanks), in pretty much that exact order.

    Impen for PvP.

    No idea for PVP.

    For PVE, I like Infused for large pieces, and Divines for the small ones. Or all Divines. Or a mix of Infused and Divines for large pieces, a few small pieces can be Sturdy... or even Wellfitted depending on the set and playstyle. I just hate grinding for the perfect trait.

    good thing we were only talking armor cuz weapons have a much shorter list:

    SHARPENED

    tanks: infused or defending


    in regards to "PvP: Impen 100%"

    - reinforced pieces add good survivability, nirnhoned mark my words is making a come back, and well fitted i'd recommend 1-2 pieces especially if you are melee.

    PVE
    Divines - for healers and DDs
    Sturdy - for tanks
    Infused - for big not heavy pieces
    Reinforced - for big heavy pieces
    Training - for DDs until 630, for everyday overland use and most of dungeons (switching to Divines in the hard encounters).

    PVP
    Impenetrable - for healers and DDs
    Sturdy - for tanks
    Reinforced - for big heavy pieces
    Divines - for some sort of gank and bombing builds

    How is Infused better than Divines on big pieces? Any maths proof? It only gives you about 150 to max stat from that piece.

    Bigger pieces = more resources.

    Divines is always a max of 7.5% for any armor piece.

    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    If you like reinforced, you should also like nirnhorned. They work together like infused and divines, respectively.

    Bolded @Rickter QFT. I was strongly considering swapping out all 5 of my my Impenetrable for Nirnhoned in No-CP/BG's so that I can soak some of the proc damage. Not even kidding; I'm super tired of dying to all-proc builds like Viper/Tremor/Red Mountain.
