Not sure if powerfull or weak :p
Weapon elemental damage mods cannot improve thoses gloves, physical damage will have very low effect, no combos with abyssus/BoR... It will be probably difficult to get a corrupted one with Elemental weakness on hit... (High lvl and low chance to drop i guess?).
No thunderfist too.
Alpha's howl and Crown of eyes have high potential, both are build enablers with thoses gloves.
So we will want
- rings/amulet with flat lightning damage and % ele damage
- Wake of destruction (+ 60 AVG lightning damage, difficult to find better)
- Alpha's howl or Crown of eyes or deidbell (no joke)
- Doryani's lightning belt
- With crown of eyes, a rare spell damage shield, rathpith globe, saffel's... otherwise the slot is open.
- Lightning coil? cannot find something else but it's not awesome with crown of eyes, a rare es armor?
So
lightning coil, doryani's belt, alpha's howl, saffel's frame (good defensive option with lightning coil & alpha), lightning ring/amulet.
A templar/shadow build.

305% increased lightning/melee damage with an aoe skill. (ice crash?)
30% chance to shock.
let's say each rings add 32 average lightning damage and 10% increased
Same for amulet but 15% increased.
Ring + amulet: 96 avg base lightning damage & 25% increased
Wake of destruction: 60 avg
lightning coil: 12 avg
doriany's gloves: 574 avg
doriany's belt: 25% increased
Saffel's frame: 25% increased
so 742 base lightning+ 380% increased, without auras.
Herald of thunder : 90.5
wrath + empower lvl4 + alpha's howl + aura effects 42%: 264.8 average lightning damage
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
After the gear calculation we reach :
1097.3 lightning.
380% increased
For the skill gem we take ice crash
For the melee multipliers we have no weapon damage/phys damage or critical strike.
The only multiplier allowed in our setup is concentrated effect.
Ice crash: 198% base damage, -15 less attack speed
Added lightning damage: 125.5 avg lightning & chance to shock
Lightning penetration: 35% penetration
concentrated effect: 69% mult
faster attack: 54% q20
increased area of effect: 33% aoe size but who cares atm :p
so let's see!
1222.8 lightning damage * 4.80 increased 5869.4
5869.4 * 1.69 9919
9919 * 1.98 19640.3
unarmed attack speed: 1.2 *1.54 and 15% less
1,570
30 835 tooltip dps
With shock : 50% more damage -> 46 252
With lightning piece: 30% LESS lightning resistance -> 40 085
With elemental weakness or similar 30 -> ?? we need a base.
Total with shock and pierce and ele weakness against a 30% lightning resistance monster
ele weakness -> 0% monster resistance
shock
30% Less lightning resistance
60 127
With ice crash, Doryani's fist have 60 127 DPS against a 0% lightning resistance shocked monster OR a 30% lightning resistance shocked monster and cursed by a lvl 11 elemental weakness.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
30 835 tooltip dps is not a lot but it's useable.
Decent unique, not GG not bad, but badder than facebreaker. I believe this tooltip is similar to a BoR facebreaker. And Abyssus facebreaker with Ice crash should be around 60K tooltip dps.
It has shock and the possibility to use TWO curses to reduce the monster's resistances.
But the curses are a pain in the ass to use without the "curse on hit" mod on items or gem!
But we use herald of thunder so it Can curse for us.
Also, with all thoses elemental damage %, herald of thunder reachs 2918 average damage per strike, it's not bad. Herald arent spells and arent boosted by the gloves.
Anyway, as a melee item, it's not bad but not awesome. And we lose two slots: melee weapon and gloves.
So......
Compared to facebreaker, it's "badder" thoo it allows the use alpha's howl or crown of eyes instead of BoR/abyssus. It also allows the use of SPELLS.
Damage is lower but BoR disables the chest and Abyssus increases the physical damage taken by 40-50%.
Yeah, it's decent but not awesome.
The survivability will be reduced because of less block & hp nodes too, compared to a good facebreaker build and attack speed will be very low....
Ok, it's not trash...BUT It's badder than a facebreaker 750%-1000% without shock and curse and it becomes equivalent with shock and curses. Without the abyssus downside. But !!
Facebreaker 750-800% are often vaaled and they can get vulnerability on hit. Facebreaker is probably easier to find and cheaper too, the level is far lower so it's usable in early and endgame.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuut

Ok guys, i found the best way to use thoses gloves!
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Tempest_Shield
Tempest shield is a spell, and the gloves will double the damage done when we block!!!
herald of thunder: 90.5
tempest shield 183
gloves 147
added lightnign damage 125.5
546
with a good amount of increased% (380%)
We will do 2620 average lightning damage per block.
.... /facepalm.
oh it's decent but not awesome :p but with a good herald of thunder which deals ok damages too and shock...
We will need a big amount of block to use it.
