What weapon trait after the 1-handed enchant nerf for tanks?

Just wondering, will it still be worthwhile for tanks to use infused with the enchant effect being halved next update? Or will nirn (better damage and healing) or defending (slightly more mitigation) become more practical?

    Back bar lightening staff/ice staff/ bow with infused.
    If you want to stay with s/b maybe charged with lightening enchantment. Whatever suits your play style really.
    You can also just keep using it like you always did.

    I say stick with infused since you are still proving your team with a debuff and defending will be cut in half as well so it won’t make that much of a difference with mitigation. Besides the resist cap can be done without defending.

    I haven't tested this personally but I believe since ZOS changed how lower value crusher no longer overwrites higher value one but just extends the duration it will still be infused crusher front bar so you can keep up the full value crusher you've applied from the back.

    Infused Crusher on Icestaff back-bar, with infused magica regen on SnB front-bar.

    If this is how it works double infused crusher snb FB with staff/bow BB. Would still be functionally the same in single target fights.

    However now I can run weakening and crusher.

    Alternatively the snb 1h can be decisive.

    You can keep up the crusher proc with just Elemental Blockade easily, and still get the full 2740 out of it with Tourgs. So it’s best to run something else than a 1370 crusher on your front bar.

    Just tested it, nothing is prolonged. I mean crusher timer on dummy is not extended when you hit with other bar with 2nd crusher.

    Does charged work for the enchant effect? I was afraid it would only work for the effect of the weapon like a lightning staff.

    Decisive might be worth using for nord tanks, but not sure

    I'm finding decisive to be most useful from what I've tested.

    Decisive has that chance to proc any time ultimate is gained.

    The CP synergy passive mixed with the need to pop synergies on an Alkosh tank/any tank really plus heroic slash, light attacks etc means it will always have tonnes of chances to proc.

    Infused back bar on a staff with crusher will give you the full enchant from Wall of Elements like has been noted.

    That front bar is now preference based i think.
