Testing Weapon Traits on the Horns of the Reach PTS (PvP centered)
DCanadianBacon
✭✭✭
JonnytheKing14 and myself did several hours of testing 4 different weapons traits to see how much of a difference there was between them.
Here's the Video Link with the results (found in the video's description). as well as Jonny's opinions on the results.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKlQ0tyMQlQ
The traits tested are as follows:
-Infused
-Sharpened
-Precise
-Nirnhoned.
We also did several tests swapping out various Weapon Glyphs. These included:
-Damage Health (Oblivion Damage)
-Charged Weapon (Shock Damage)
-Weapon Damage enchants.
The build and CP stayed consistent throughout all tests.
-5 Piece Julianos,
-5 Piece Necropotence (although I had no pets slotted),
-and 1 Piece Grothdaar Shoulder.
All were in Divines for Body pieces, Gold quality. The jewelry was 1 Gold Necklace, and 2 Purple rings.
The important offensive stats are as follows:
-2,802 Spell Damage (This number is buffed with a Major Sorcery)
-48,005 Max Magicka
-29.7% Crit Chance
-6884 Spell Penetration (This is without the Sharpened Trait)
-Mundus Stone: Mage
Champion Points were distributed so that the RNG was as consistent as possible:
-20 Spell Erosion
-100 Staff Expert
-100 Physical Weapon Expert (I have 100 Points allocated here just to use up all CP. This is because we wanted to have as low of a crit chance as possible, which meant not putting more than 30 points into the Apprentice Tree. I also didn't want to allocate any CP into the Ritual, just to avoid having the Exploiter perk, just to be on the safe side.)
These points are going to be reallocated appropriately when we test High Crit Chance builds (Using the Thief Mundus Stone), as well as testing Elfborn with 15.1% at a later time.
Jonny's Build (Test Dummy/Punching Bag) consisted of all Heavy Armor:
Spell Res: 26564
Physical Res: 23561
No Shields, and just healing off damage to stay above execute %.
The rotation was kept up for 30 seconds each time, and is the same rotation every time. We did many tests, but only kept 5 of the most perfect rotations for each test, and then took the averages. (Results are in the video description).

✭✭✭✭With all due respect, you're doing a disservice to precise by running it with the Mage. I understand that for consistency purposes you can't change mundus stones between tests.
However, when you pair precise with the shadow it is going to perform MUCH better than it did when paired with mage2 -

people that worked they asses off to get sharpened, on my own opinion, with the huge amount of time it took to get them, must have precise, infused and nirn in dozens of crates at their disposals...1 -

DCanadianBacon✭✭✭Most of this information is out of date at this point, considering the debacle that was the implementation of Patch 3.1.5.0
