There are some more: Bloodfists that are giving 30% FHR, 10% IAS, 40 HP and +5 min dmg and Frostburn (which are essential for all mana tanks due to +40% mana increase). Besides Chance Guards there are also several budget ones such as IK gloves, Cleglaw Gloves (slows target) and death gloves (due to nice combination with sash bonuses).
If you're gonna mention rare gloves, then it's fair to throw in the crafted blood gloves on your list. Getting a chance to get 10% cb puts it above the rare gloves.
Good list. I would like to point out that trangs has +25% poison damage which personally I value more than 1 fire skills. plus early on cold res still can be a worrying( a lot of monsters ,especially archers, have big cold elemental damage on their attacks) it’s better than no res on my gloves slot. With the poison damage I feel there are the same number of builds that use poison. These are best in slot on rabies,poison/plague Java(big buffs in 2.4), poison necros . It’s close, but on builds that don’t benefit from the fire or poison. I feel 30 cold res is better than regen mana. I would go the other way if it was 25% max mana.
I generally agree. Though I’d say ghoulhide deserves a mention. It’s laying of hands but for undead. Let’s melee farm places like AT and mausoleum easy.
Agree with the list. Only relevant additional information I can think of would be magic 3/20 gloves. After that your getting into incredibly niche builds.
Thank you for adding rare gloves at #6! You exactly highlight why “my” clan EF is still playing hardcore classic till date (hence rare items make uniquely combined chars, in contrary to the standard lod builds where all people use the same setup’s mostly). As many oldskool players might recall we formed EF late .09 in hardcore classic Europe. We merged from several older clans which started to fade.
5:57 I was also for years saying Lying of Hands. And was like : how can you lie with hands? And only after a long time I noticed that it was laying haha
I've been trying to craft / gamble +2 to passive and magic / +20% IAS gloves for a while; only ever managed to craft +10% IAS so far although I was able to craft +20% IAS / +2 to martial arts for my assassin. Back to the cubing I guess. 🙂 Of unique gloves, I'm partial to the humble Hand of Broc, and I was able to find these some time ago for the first time. A pretty good way to start off with dual leech, +20 mana and +10% poison resist. They have ~49 defense when upped to exceptional which is not too shabby, and 74ish when elite, too. A cheapskate's Soul Drainer. 🙂
I found magefists relatively early, and then learned about upgrading items. I didn't pay attention to the instructions tho, so now I have magefists, with a measly increased defense, and a 150 strength requirement on my sorc....cries in "not using magefist"
Nice Intro, man. And the good old tristram theme, it wakes memories. But i got 1 question, does the % to demons (loh) count for the throw-skills of the Javazon? Thanks for the great video. Keep up the good work.
great list, i could never rly understand why so many ppl pref TO over magefists. although i think frostburns, steelrend and bloodfist deserve at least a mention here too. also, crushing blow.
For me, FCR gloves, which are basically only Trangs and Magefist, are no. 3 at best. Magefist's +1 fire skill benefits fire skill users such as Trangs benefits poison damage builds (Trangs has even better dmg boost). We know that caster builds are better than melee builds, but these gloves are just worn because of their needed FCR to hit certain FCR breakpoints. No. 1 or No. 2 for me is a crafted Blood gloves with 20% IAS + 10% Crushing Blow and Dual Leech (or at least Life leech). Other desirable stats are +Str/+Dex or Resist (preferrably fire or lightning). Heck, these Blood gloves could even roll +2 Martial Arts, BowCrossbow, or JavelinSpear skills. This is interchable with Laying of Hands at no. 1 or 2 spot. That 350% damage to demons in gloves is just crazy.
you have missed trangs 25 % poison dmg. now with the posion java coming up, maybe those will be useful. Poison, as we know does not profit from fast strikes due to dmg duration, so IAS is not as important. Yet they help with the faster cast needed when using enigma.
1:07 wait a minute, what about the blood gloves recipe?? They have plus 2 to javelin and spear for amazon, plus 20% IAS and up to 10% of crushing blow, and random other COOL stuff.
"These dont necessarily have a ton of stuff in order to help out your character, with the exception of one very important thing on them... +2 light radius!" No but on a serious note that extra gold is also pretty worthy of mentioning. Pretty sure at some point everybody is going to gamble regardless if they had a gold find barb or not and if you played for long enough while having enough extra gold items, youll eventually rack up enough gold for gambling amulets and stuff.
Hmm.....when I wear chance guards the drops get worse, so they are cursed.... ;-). The prob is though that the gloves make the difference often in the cast speed breakpoint, 105, because then it becomes a time issue, rather a bit faster than a bit more MF is the question, I go for faster. Just my opinion.
The most valuable gloves are 20 ias, 10 crushing blow, with 15+ str and dex crafted gloves. I have own all the perfect uniq gloves you just mention in the video they aren’t worth much. The most expensive uniq glove in d2 was probably uniq orc gauntlet. I have own couple 20 ias with 10 cab glove with either +9 str or dex but never with both dex and str. I also own couple +3 java Amazon 20 ias magical gloves.
Rare gloves? How are you gonna talk about rare gloves but completely ignore the MOST OP gloves you can get in this game, being crafted blood and hit power gloves for crushing blow and knockback. For melee builds there are literally no better gloves (except for the Ed ogre gauntlets but only for ww barb)
Damn magefists in at number one eh? Laying of hands would have been my number one choice. Trang’s over magefists . And instead of chancie’s I would have put steel rends for the crushing blow. We know you like that PvM Phil!
sorry chance guard ? ^^ every gloves with 20-25 mf and singel or duble res are better ... the same Nagel ring ^^ every one use Nagel ring 30 ^^ but no stats mor on this F g ring whats up ? with blue magic find ring 40 % ? or 25 mf + res Blue Ring ? Best gloves .... endgame Trangs , Laying , Draculs .... place 4 - 10000 Rare Gloves
Most important gloves in Diablo 2 are definitely my compression gloves. Keeping away hand pain means more Diablo playing :)
Same with magnet fishing :))
@@pastuh okay, I give. What's magnet fishing?

Was just about to comment that myself
Don't forget hit power gloves for knockback. A MUST HAVE for any pvp amazon build

“FROM THE DEMONS I’m SLAYINGGGGG,” LOL great intro
10/10 for that Intro Dude!
I didn't agree with the Magefist at first, but you change my mind. With all the new fire builds coming their are definitely gonna be very sought after
Very happy for you . Last time i saw your videos u were at 18k followers . Keep it up bud
the most expensive to trade are actually #6 , 2/20 jav gloves, they go for ist or more. the rest of them can be find in "free" game.

You earned my like just for the intro!

Great editing in the thumbnail. Looks like you're actually holding them
Your opening line won a sub from me. Well played sir. Well played
Mispronunciation is what makes Sweet Phil so sweet. Keep up the grape works bro!

Thanks for the great video.
Keep up the good work.
If I'm wrong, apologies in advance. Damage to undead/demons applies to weapon's base dmg for physical damage portion only. (so no)
@@happy764 thx man. :)
Yeah % damage boosts only apply to physical damage, not elemental
I sold some rare 2/20 jav gloves with some sort of resist on them and maybe one other decent mod, for like a Sur rune, I was blown away.
great list, i could never rly understand why so many ppl pref TO over magefists. although i think frostburns, steelrend and bloodfist deserve at least a mention here too. also, crushing blow.
Glad the dracs gloves made the list I love those gloves
I like to up the base on my Chance Guards & Magefists during later stages in the game.
This man looked at his comments from last video. Community is ruthless.
that intro was so spicy
Another amazing thumbnail! Wow! 🤣

No love for crafted gloves as a sub for the rare gloves? Or are you kinda feeling they are all the same? Fun video!
Best…intro….ever!
Soul Drainers go alright for the Javazon
Im always happy to get blood fist so I can KEEP SLAYING
What do you think about if they decided to do FCR on charms?
Eh no
@@Cornholers like too powerful? Not needed? What’s the opinion?
Eh most chrs don't have high fcr bps, only barb and sorc have it and it's only good on a few builds aka nova and warcry
I feel like steelrends get slept on too much...just my opinion
Ya agree would swap out Chance Guard for steelrends on the list. Just wish they would drop more often.
@@directstrike2397 exactly
2 20 gloves were in your list, but what about skills/20ias/10cb gloves, i carft them each season
respect for not breaking character and laughing 👊 haha

Now crafted martial arts ias crushing blow are gg
I would put chance guards at 5, Dracs at 4. Magefists are better then Trangs.
Nice one 4 real
I prefer 3/20 with 3x 7mf/11fr or lr than 2/20 + res + mf + 1java skiller
does laying of hands 350% damage to demons effect casted spells also? or just melee?
Just melee, and I believe it also applies to bow weapons as well.
It does, the physical aspect
Prefer 3/20 blues over 2/20/whatever extra mods
These gloves do nothing to keep the bloods off my hands
what is the 5 best weapon ?
nice iron maiden font
Frost gloves 40% max mana goes hard !
Agree. So good for certain builds. Just not the super strong ones. Singers need a good amount.
0:44 xDDD
Chancies aren't worth it, you get nothing but some MF. I'd rather rares with 4-5 mods and 25% mf than Chancies.
Harder to find a decent pair, but I do agree that the others mods outweigh the 15% MF you lose.

Magefists do nothing for my Pally and Barb. Can’t be number one if it’s so one dimensional
What's at #1 for you?
Wow just need dracull
Damn magefists in at number one eh? Laying of hands would have been my number one choice. Trang’s over magefists . And instead of chancie’s I would have put steel rends for the crushing blow. We know you like that PvM Phil!
magefist lacking a bot too much resistance
SLAYAHHHHHH
What ? no sigons?
sorry chance guard ? ^^ every gloves with 20-25 mf and singel or duble res are better ...
the same Nagel ring ^^ every one use Nagel ring 30 ^^ but no stats mor on this F g ring whats up ? with blue magic find ring 40 % ? or 25 mf + res Blue Ring ?
Best gloves .... endgame Trangs , Laying , Draculs .... place 4 - 10000 Rare Gloves
LOL wtf you ok you need 2 cough?
