THe world of gloves

So i am remaking my trapasin, I started with a fire trapper which turned out to be slutty.. and now I am going with the very common lite trapper.

Anywho I am looking at planning my gear and I have stumbled along one item that seems to be giving me a problem, Gloves!

I have heard people say laying of hands.. but it certainly doesn't have that many great mods, especially if your a "mage". So then I took a look at BloodFist, with a nice +life mod and a very nice 30% fhr. Then I saw Magefist with its 20% fc and 25% mana regen.

Other then those few options there wasn't much to choose from.

I think I have made a decision and am going to go with BloodFist, but I need to make sure that its a good solid decision. So drop me some feedback! :)

Thanks
 
Is this for PvP or PvM?

Bloodfists are a great pair of gloves, I'd say they're quite a defensive pair of gloves. The IAS will help with trap laying speeds and 40 life is nothing to be sneezed at.

LoH are also a great pair of gloves.. I'm not sure (infact I'm doubtful) if the 350% dmg to demons will apply when using traps.. logic says no, since traps are minions, and the dmg dosen't apply when my merc hits something. They are however 10% more IAS than the bloodfists and if that 10% puts you to a next breakpoint then it could be worth it.

Magefists are definitly nice, the fire skill will boost your fire blast, which I'm assumeing you'll have quite high as a synergy and also as a means of versitility (PvM-immunes/PvP-lit.absorb). The fast cast will help with mindblast.

More info on your build would be helpful, but this should give you some stuff to think about.. You want to look at your equiptment as a whole and make sure you're not lacking anywhere.
 
The %dmg to demons on Laying of Hands works with the Blade traps. It only applies to physical weapon damage, so it has no effect on any of the elemental traps (or venom damage, etc.)

ah, cool, I thought it would be something along thoes lines...

Thanks
 
I've always been partial to IK gloves & Belt. Nice resists +45 str and 25% IAS. Of course... If your a lighting Trapper then just go with Chance guards for Item find.

Caster gloves would be Frostburns or craft a nice pair of Caster gloves. Mana, + mana per kill, & regen mana
 
If you only need 10ias on your gloves then theres no contest,
BLOODFISTS BABY
these gloves kick ***, ias fhr life :surprise: , and its funny just how many people take the piss out of you for wearing these 'noob' gloves. :lol:

Lo
 
lite trapper, pvp.

Bartucs and Jade Talons (until I find better) on primary
Wiz Spike and Sigons Shield (maybe lidless depends, and I realize sigons sucks)

And since when does IAS (increased attack speed) help with casting? (I assume laying traps is casting?)

Thanks, that last part is important
 
Laying traps is ias not fcr. FCR is only for mindblast. Check out the excellent stickied ias table at the top to work out how much ias/BoS you need to lay at the 9 frame break.
 
Trang's Gloves

I have a psnbowsin/trapper hybrid. faster cast for mindblast to keep monsters busy, +psn dmg, cold resists, lovely.
 
Ok I think I have made a decision about my gloves. I think i will go for BloodFist.. they seem like killer gloves.

Anyways about IAS and all that mumbo jumbo... can anyone explain it to me in a nutshell.. I went to the sticky post but there is so many acronyms like WSM and EIAS.. that I have no idea what mean, I checked out the glossary on the original web page but it doens't seem to work. Anywho if anyone has the time to quickly explain to me what it all means that would be sweet :thumbsup:
 
Basically you need a certain amount of "Increased Attack Speed"-
or IAS to lay all your traps down as fast as possible.

Depending on the gear and claws you use, a certain # of Skill pts. might be needed to invest into the skill "Burst of Speed" for Maximum Trap Laying Speed.
Burst of Speed Increases the Rate in which you attack at/IAS.

With Greater talon Claws you only need a few more than +40 IAS
:scratch:
Sry Im bad at this too, ask someone else for more specific requirements.

WSM is Weapon Speed Modifier... it's basically the number that is posted at the Arreat Summit for the base speed of a weapon... i.e.: Phase blade -30, while a dimensional blade is -20

EIAS is Enhanced Increase Attack Speed... which is speed given by 'off weapon' equipment or skills.
 
Well if your using Bartucs(weapon speed -30) and Bloodfist gloves you will need a lvl 3 Burst of Speed to hit 9 frame trap laying (the fastest traps can be layed). If you put a shael in your bartuc, giving 20ias more, then you only need a lvl 1 BoS.

If you want to use Fade instead of BoS then you need a total of 60ias with Bartuc, (shael bartuc 20ias, bloodfist 10ias leaving you 30ias to make up). Just remember that your fastest claw (bartuc) must be equiped in your main weapon hand as any ias from the other claw has no effect on your traps!!
 
just makin my first post to say: remember folks, there are gloves which gives +traps!
rare bramble mitts very often have nice mods as +skilltree and ias, so try to find yourself a pair of those, either mf'ing or trading, i swear they're very worth it!
 
Martial arts do... but traps don't... I concur with Mook:

Shogukusha's +1 Assassin Martial Arts Amulets(20), Circlets(20), Gloves(20), Katars(20)

Sensei's +2 Assassin Martial Arts Amulets(40), Circlets(40), Gloves(40), Katars(40)
