Your take on Repentance

frees one socket in my mjölner for controlled destruction. insane damage boost. love the gloves, love the 2d art. <3
they fit my build like a puzzle piece :-)

im CI btw, love the ES on them. also IR. just perfect.

My take:
Assuming that IW is sufficiently beneficial for you... this is 7-link FTW.

The cool thing about these gloves is that they work by just giving you spellpower based on strength and ive tested with the Crown of eyes that it does in fact work and im only using it atm in a janky build with oro's sacrifice but they seem to give a great damage boost but it does require alot of itemization/passive tree work to make them usable but thats what I love about path, is that there are some items that arent just completely op and make much more fun to build around.

That said ggg will probably nerf it to oblivion like bringer of rain so nvm, at least the players who have one now might not get screwed.

Found one earlier (badly rolled, -29%), since my char has no use for it I put it in guild stash. Someone took it, so it's being used.

someone took it so its worth something ;-)

i'd potentially use these on a BV build. iron will adds significant damage roll to BV, except there are other gloves for the slot that would probably end up being better, like maligaro's or facebreakers global crit multi

You lose at least 48% Spell Damage from a 20/20 Iron Will Gem, and whatever other Damage Modifiers you had to gimp to get the necessary Int on Jewels alongside your Strength, to get enough to use these...

Not to mention making it harder to get Resistances AND losing out on around 127 Life. And that's assuming a perfect Repentance.

All things considered, I feel that it's too many hoops to jump through just to free up an extra Link. Though in an extremely optimized build, I could see it being useful.

*I'm talking about non-Mjolner builds, for Mjolner it slots right in quite nicely.

They gloves are made for very specific iron will builds. If you actually build around them with Doon Cuebiyari and other stat boosting uniques you can achieve >1000 STR (1200+ with specific OP gear).

Let me say it another way: Doon Cuebiyari + Repentance can achieve the same spell damage boost like dual wielding 2 Void Batteries (without the crit but with a lot more life and defenses) - having 1200+ STR means you basicaly wearing a Kaom's Heart over your regular chest armour if you think about it.

So with such a build you don't have to invest into any sort of damage on your passive tree (you can do that to augment your damage even further, but you don't need to which is the big point here)


- You could make a very tanky, armour life based, spell caster with good damage with it
- you can boost Mjolner builds and specific IR fakner builds even further in damage
- you can build super hipster attack based builds with CoE + Repentance


Very well designed specific endgame unique gloves - glad they exist.

That shield, why you have increased evasion rating on it? It's an STR shield, you gain nothing....
