Havent played for a month and ive heard there have been some changes regarding to which trait is best. Is ninrnhoned topping the dps charts now? Strictly DPS wise that is.

    Most people seem to be going with 1 Nirnhoned and 1 Sharpened, or 2 Sharpened (albeit with a slightly different CP set-up).

    Double dot poisons are bugged, they don't stack so only one person in the group can run them. So they're virtually useless unless group communicates in advance which DD runs them.

    Wow, didn't knew that. I mostly run 4 man content so that might be why.

    @Ragnarock41 , yup, it's a shame, they could've somewhat offset the DW enchantment nerf. I didn't re-test after last incremental patch, but there was nothing about a fix for that in patch notes.

    And for the topic theme - yes, basically everyone and their dog are moving to the freshly overbuffed Shadow mundus and compensating for loss of Lover by investing into CPs and traits. Since infused isn't as viable now thanks to DW nerf, people run sharpened off hand with ~60 points in Piercing, or double sharpened with ~35 points or so.

    Since i am on console i dont have first hand experience but a pretty well known guy in the game and yt tested it and it seemed to be fixed, at least thats what he's is telling his viewers in his latest video about the changes...

    That would be really good (and would be even better if ZOS could be more accurate about including such fixes in patch notes). I've tested before the patch myself, and will re-test one of those days to make sure the bug is gone. (By the way, there was another, unrelated bug about poisons - it was happening when food/drink buff was applied while poisons were slotted on active bar and used to cause buff to be giving less max resources until re-applied; that bug might've gone earlier last year, maybe the guy in question meant that bug?)

    The guy in questions name is a short version of desert eagle (no naming in this forum o:)) And no he is not talking about that bug with the buff food. Not sure how good yt translation works but here is the video (unfortunatly in german), poison stuff starts at 12 minutes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yCnDF5dt8ag
    The update for consoles are coming tomorrow, i will test it myself and report back.
