I remember a few years ago they were really important. Everyone was running infused on armor and sharpened on weapons. But with all the changes and reworked cp system, it has me wondering now. Have any of them moved up in importance at all if they are still viable?

    BIS for PvP as per my rule of thumb:

    Front bar weapon: Sharpened or Nirnhoned + Sharpened for dual-wield
    Back bar weapon: Defending, Infused or Powered
    Jewelry: Infused, Swift, Arcane in case of mag-stacking build
    Gear: Well-Fitted, Impenetrable, maybe Sturdy

    BIS for PvE DD (of which I know less):

    Front bar weapon: Precise, Nirnhoned or Sharpened
    Back bar weapon: I'm guessing Infused. Maybe Charged.
    Jewelry: Bloodthirsty, Infused
    Gear: Divines

    I believe they heavily buffed the Charged weapon trait, so that might be worth looking into, especially if you are a DK who sustains from applying the Poisoned and Burning effects, which was also buffed.

    Divines on armor, precise on front bar weapon, infused on back bar weapon, and bloodthirsty on jewelry is popular in PvE. The differences can be minor, though, and are rarely important outside of the hardest group content.

    So for overland sturdy or well fitted is just fine?

    Overland? Anything you want.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
