The maintenance is complete, and the PTS is now back online and patch 12.0.3 is available.
Deadly Cloak and Damage Enchants
Since this is going to be ticking every 2s instead of 1s, does this mean backbar infused trait on both main and offhand with flame/poison glyphs is no longer a viable option?

✭✭✭✭✭If I understand things correctly, then enchantments are guaranteed to proc whenever they are off cooldown. Damage glyphs have a cooldown of 4 seconds on default, so 2 seconds using Infused. This means that every tic of Deadly Cloak should apply your enchantment exacty at the time you need it.
You will run into slight problems if you end up missing a tic of deadly cloak because that error can't be fixed right at the next second but rather after another two seconds. Similarly if you light attack on your backbar and then activate Deadly Cloak the enchantment will have procced on your light attack first and then not on the first tic of deadly cloak, delaying the next enchantment proc by 1 second.
So expect a very slight nerf, but, assuming this has been viable before, it will continue to be viable now because human error is and always has been a factor no matter your build - so the impact of this should not be felt.
At least that is how I would interpret it.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.2 -
A 2s cooldown on the enchantments pretty much guarantee that only 1 enchantment (main hand takes priority?) will proc every 2 seconds. Whereas before you could potentially alternative proccing your main hand and off hand when deadly cloak was 1s cooldown.0

Ah, I wasn't aware your mainhand and offhand enchantment can't proc at the same time. I thought that's why 1h enchants are half the value...
Yes, if they can't proc at the same time you are looking at a 50% damage loss from your enchantments.
Kind of strange what ZOS seems to have against Deadly Cloak on the backbar. They nerfed the BRP DW too when it could pull even with the vMA bow, as if more build diversity was somehow a bad thing.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.0 -

I'm not actually sure if what they said is true, though.
I know I'm waiting to see if someone else can illuminate the situation further, though testing it out should be easy enough even on Live using Quick Cloak.0 -
Deadly Cloak live server with level 1 infused daggers and flame/poison enchants. The deadly cloak looks like it is alternating between enchants that are not on cooldown with the 1s ticks.

Quick Cloak live server with level 1 infused daggers and flame/poison enchants. DW Enchants do not proc at the same time unless it is a skill that hits multiple times at once (e.g. Rending Slashes initial hit and DW Heavy Attack).
