Desirability

The Mad Mage's Maulers[1] are a powerful item for melee characters. This item gives you, at the very least, 1 obscenely strong hit in melee. However, you should watch out for MP usage. Even though these gloves prohibit spell magic, many divine abilities consume some amount of MP.

The infusion ego does not work on ranged weapons; a ranged weapon user can wear these as simple +3 gloves. Hybrid characters will have to choose between using the maulers, dedicating themselves to melee, or being able to casting spells.

Unlike normal gloves of infusion, Djinn cannot trigger the Mad Mage's Maulers, as the effect would instantly kill them. For Djinn, these are simply +3 gloves which prevent casting.

History

  • Prior to 0.30, the Mad Mage's Maulers provided RegenMP+ and -3 Int instead of VampMP and -Cast. In addition, it only boosted damage by 2*MP.
  • The Mad Mage's Maulers were added in 0.28.
