Desirability
A 33% chance of a free hit with any melee weapon when you dodge or block an attack is quite novel, especially with highly enchanted or vampiric weapons. A more specialized pair of randart gloves might be better overall, but these are still pretty good gloves for high EV or SH characters.
History
- Prior to 0.29, riposte did not work on blocked attacks.
- Prior to 0.28, the fencer's gloves would stack with the riposte of Long Blades, for a total of 66% to activate per miss.
- Prior to 0.19, the fencer's gloves gave +4 boosts to Long Blades and Short Blades skills and increased EV by 3. They were also +2 gloves.
- Prior to 0.17, these gloves gave +2 slaying instead of the skill bonuses.
- Prior to 0.15, these gloves gave only +3 to dexterity, and added +8 to accuracy rather than +2 slaying.
