I wanted so bad to play these gauntlets and not just using them as an utilitary weapon.
Impact is a pretty weak physical damage, its stagger effect is more annoying than useful.
Considering how Slash works, it is possible to convert this melee weapon from impact-based to slash-based (a technique that only Ancient Chinese Masters know about).
There is only one small technical issue here : you need a damn Riven with a negative impact malus and bonuses that help maximizing the slash proc damage value.
Notes :
- Designed to include Amalgam Furax Body Count.
- 81% status chance at x12.
- 237.6% crit chance at x12 and 8.5x crit multiplier.
- Thanks to the attack speed, even with a 50% puncture / 50% slash damage distribution, it will consistently proc slash effects on targets.
- Using Organ Shatter + Berserker Fury give better results than using Gladiator Might + Gladiator Vice.
- Adding more range is mandatory but Primed Reach would be a waste on this particular build.
- [Gaia's Tragedy] is the best stance for this build.
I tried many, many, many things like using [Carnis Mandible] to enhance both slash proc distribution and status chance. Using Sacrificial mods and Gladiator mods for reaching higher crit tier... It is just not worth it at all : stick to [Organ Shatter] + Berserker.
It can kill many things in steel path easily and it performs surprisingly well for what it is.
If you want to use this weapon jointly with your [Kuva Ogris], [Kuva Zarr], [Tenet Envoy] or any other weapon equipped with [Primed Firestorm], well... Go for it or something similar.
If you do not plan to use any weapon with a huge AOE, just do not waste your time on these gauntlets.
