Is it really better than Infused? For pvp? Or should I stick with infused

Last time I *** infused outperformed, but that was months ago. Everytime you blink the devs change everything though.

Infused with weapon damage enchant will give you more spelldamage but only of you can get it 100% uptime .

Btw, lightning only works on magicka templar and magicka warden really good cause of its buff to aoe (jabs, deep fissure). On other classes i would always prefer Inferno.

The differences are never more than 1% to 2% in overall DPS. That is not why your winning or losing in PvP.

Now, your playstyle will have more of an impact on what you should do, for example, LA or HA to proc Infused, some people do that better than others. Trait your weapon accordingly.

Hmm I guess I'll stick with infused then, it works well enough to not change for a mere one or two percent increase.

I have inferno on main bar with weapon damage and lightning with flame damage on back bar.

And it might not even be an increase. A player has done extensive parsing between infused, precise, sharpened, and ninhorned and while the rank order might change, the difference between 4th and 1rst is never more than 1% or so.

So the good practice would to pick the trait that helps you reach you build goal with regards to penetration or criticals or damage.
