These two tend to be used similarly, so now I ask which do you think is actually better between the two? This is just a generic poll with no right answer, but fill free to give us insight why you picked one or how others should.

    If this is just another poll to get me drunk....




    Infused works best on chest, legs, and helm because it gives max values on large armor pieces. Divines works for the other pieces. Except for my tank who has 2 pieces Sturdy to help with blocking, and Nirn shields because the armor value is larger than with Reinforce.

    No no ...I am sincere o:) , it's a good discussion for lurkers to view on to help them create thier build. Maybe it will inspire others to do think differently. It's a open indeed poll with discussion below. For instance never heard of using nirn on Shields.

    Since it wasn't mentioned I'm going to assume we're talking DPS here. Infused is not going to offer much on small pieces, about an extra 60 stam/mag. While it's much more useful on larger pieces I'd still rather have .9% crit chance than ~200 stam/mag.

    Which mundus, because with ritual I see a significant lost in healing taking 3 infused. Even taking the mage didn't help.

    Depends on your build:
    DPS - All divines.
    Tank/Healer - You should be using a mix of Divines/Infused.

    Thief for my healer, i have about 60ish crit so I can get more crit heals. I see no reason to use anything for a healer other than thief and atronach if you have sustain issues

    In PvE, in PvP you should have some inpen.
    Anyway downside of infused over divine on large pieces is very small as DD.
    For Tank and healer having an higher resource pool is more important than crit.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Stacking healing done is an effective way to heal too, base heal gets much stronger, and healing done and healing received is the only way to buff minor lifesteal, which is a really strong HoT in Trial situations.

    For PvE Healing and DPS'ing Divines has ruled for quite and will keep doing so for now. PvE Tanking I would say is more Sturdy than anything, then Infused or Divines depending on build, personally I go 8 Sturdy on my tank.

    In PvP its all mixes, most people will run at least a few pieces of Impen and then divines. Tanks in PvP can run a huge variety of things so impossible to tell there. But this is basically a big generalization of what traits people use.

    infused, divines, charged, decisive, well-fitted, prosperous, impenetrable...

    always interesting to see how far out of your comfort zone you'll go to make a set...particularly with those BoPs...

    Edit: whomever mentioned getting drunk as an option - i second that...

    I made a build with the lowest possible block cost. 88 stamina per block to a maximum of 352 per second. I will never not be able to use my block or stamina abilities. Which is why I run the stamina ranged taunt as well, leave all my mag regen to the utility skills. And I can't remember exactly since I am not in game at the moment but I have around 1800+ mag regen too. Sustain for days.
