Desirability
Thirty-three percent chance of a free hit with any melee weapon when a monster misses is quite novel, especially with highly enchanted or vampiric weapons. On the other hand, monster miss chance largely depends on SH and EV, so high-EV characters will find themselves landing free hits often while heavily armoured and/or shield-proficient characters will find that the riposte triggering very infrequently.
History
Prior to 0.19, Fencer's gloves gave +4 boosts to Long Blades and Short Blades skills and increased EV by 3.
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.
