Diablo III
Gloves return in Diablo III. This time, they are more offense-oriented, together with jewelry and bracers, and can roll Attack Speed and Critical Hit Chance and Damage. For most builds, the combination of the three and a core stat is the most efficient affix allocation. Other rollable stats (beside usual) include Area Damage, reduced cooldowns for all skills, reduced resource costs, Life per Hit, Life per second, Armor, resistances, Thorns, gold / health globe pickup radius and chance to Stun on hit. While it is possible to make gloves a defensive item, it is not recommended to forgo their offensive capabilities, unless you are specifically aiming at a tanking build.
Gloves are displayed on a character model and may be transmogrified.
