Thanks for the comments! Here are a couple of additional points that were brought up:

If you are running dual wield on both bars, typically infused will be on both of your back bar weapons with weapon damage + either poison or flame. Then poison or flame (whichever you didn't use) on the front bar alongside a shock glyph. The 4th glyph here doesn't really matter too much, so w/e you think works best for your setup.

Blade Cloak only ticks every 2s, which does time poorly with the Weapon dmg enchantment, as it will attempt to refresh it at 6s instead of 5s. Still better to have it than not, if you are running Dual Wield on your back bar. The 2s timing is not ideal, and hopefully ZOS can address that at some point.

Shock enchant for lightning heavy builds can be nice for the concussed > off-balance combo of concussed is not present from a group mate.

Super densely packed and clear info. This is a high-quality video. Well done, Skinny.

Truly Superb Glyph of Information. TYSM for breaking it down in such a short vid ☺️

Thank you for explaining why flame & poison glyphs are most commonly used on the front bar, I had been wondering even though I've been playing for for years! It would really confuse me when these glyphs were used on classes not fire/poison based. Good video!

This is great information, particularly the analysis of how and why the weapon enchantments affect overall dps. The only thing missing was a discussion about how setups might differ based on type of content ie solo/group pve, pvp (bg, Cyrodill, Imperial City, etc). That being said, I would rate this as a "must watch" for anyone working on their setup.

Very good reference video, thanks ! A piece of information I was looking for and did not find was the absorb stamina enchant and sundered status effects in conjunction with the Ravager Set.

[renedegames]

Of note, Blade cloak only ticks every 2 seconds, unlike the rest of the abilities, which interacts poorly with with having twice as many enchants from Dual Wield.

[mattfarmer]

Dude, this really did the trick for me. Thank u so very much for taking all the time u did to thoroughly explain this. Cant thank u enough. You always come thru.

[boriskard]

Great and comprehensive guide! I've been playing since launch but never fully understood how enchantments work. Thanks!

Great stuff, thank you - I am trying to move from dungeon damage to trial damage and this is super-helpful for my bow warden build.

[gx]

Good stuff! Been playing for 8 years and just learned these!😂

[janetsminten]

Your videos break things down so well! I've become a better and more knowledgeable player since subscribing to you, Skinny. You've opened my mind to how to properly play this game.

[LBCreateSpace]

You are amazing for putting out videos like this! Thank you! :D

I imagine this explanation will help a lot of ESO players. Also maybe worth mentioning is the fact that the amount of damage Burning & Poisoned deal per-tic is based on a combination of two stats. For Burning it's based on Weapon & Spell Damage and Max Magicka. For Poisoned it's based on Weapon & Spell Damage and Max Stamina. So, if you go heavier on one stat than the other, you'll probably see these status effects ticking for slightly different amounts in Combat Metrics (or similar addons).

Thanks, I was a bit confused when videos and pics just a bit over a year ago show jewelry glyphs that increase only wepon or spell damage but couldn't find those glyphs anywhere and no mention about this change online, now the glyph boosts both which is sad imo

[michaelwgrover]

One of the things that always confused me is how an enchantment's quality works. For example, if I have an item that dropped in purple, and I upgrade it to gold, does the enchantment ALSO automatically upgrade from purple to gold?

[vossboss]

Generally speaking, it's a lot cheaper to buy kuta ruins Den to buy constructed glyphs, so if you're planning on enchanting lots of things for a long time it's a better investment to level up the enchanting skill and just buy kuta

[ron-johnsmith]

Okay, so I am still struggling to understand charged. Why would I choose charged on my off-hand over precise? Especially when crit is so valuable to some builds. What's the damage difference?

[xHawgRyderx]

Shock is the best weapon damage enchant on 2H/bow. 5% more damage ie minor invulnerability. Unfortunately double dot potions have more value ie BIS. Great video.

[higheso]

So about that bow/bow plar... sure could use one of those good ole skinny vids 😅💯🫡😂
