Anyone getting better results adding a Charged trait to dual wield for the pops?

    Do Dots count for this? For example soul trap might work.

    Enemy has to have a status effect up. The 12800 proc not bad at all.

    My anti-trash set is currently with Plague Break.

    It doesnt have a status per se but the disease damage can apply a status effect.

    You can also use the Maelstrom Greatsword (applies Bleeding).

    What I meant was do DOTS count as a static affect for this context? Is it any purgeable effect or specifically one like burning/hemorrhaging. I actually haven't tested this since I usually run grouped which almost guarantees it'll proc.

    One fun thing I've been doing with this is running master's 2h with cleave for the bleed and hemorrhaging

    That's not status effect. Status effect is like burning etc.
    You are guaranteed to apply status effect from enchants with charged, but not from AoEs. It would be 29% per player with direct AoE hits. Which is good, but far from guaranteed. Can push higher with Heartland Conqueror.

    certain things grant status effects automatically so might work depending on your build

    if your using a destro build, the morph of elemental weakness which lasts a full minute and auto applies a random status effect every 6 seconds

    if your using warden the bleed dmg bear auto applies hemorrhaging with every attack

    unleashed terror gear set applies hemorrhaging with every tick

    NB surprise attack applies guaranteed sundered status effect

    bow lethal arrow applies poisoned guaranteed with each use

    im sure there are more gear set and skill options that guarantee certain status effects, any of those would be good to apply effects consistently

    full list of valid status effects to trigger this:
    • sundered (from physical dmg)
    • hemorrhaging (from bleed dmg)
    • diseased (from disease dmg)
    • poisoned (from poison dmg)
    • concussed (from shock dmg)
    • chilled (from frost dmg)
    • burning (from fire dmg)
    • overcharged (from magic dmg)

    Good posts above, hope that answers other questions.

    My question has anyone seen bigger pops (more occult overload procs) with nirn/charged weapon (dual wield) vs nirn/pen?

    if you wanted to easily apply status effects to a group, i would suggest working in the unleashed terror set

    stampede being an AOE applies unleashed proc to every enemy in range, which in turn applies hemorrhaging to all of the targets

    sorc streak also applies this proc to every enemy hit if you wanted to do a streak + whirling blades type combo

    this would guarantee every enemy had a status effect on them unless they purged, but would also put a lot of people in danger hp range for dying to whirling blades

    Good call, will check it out. I will use transtones to see any difference w/charge and report back sometime.

    thank you
