Crafted blood gloves better than LoH gloves?

Hi, I am a softcore strafezon currently using an upped

Goldstrike Arch. Right now she's wearing laying of hand gloves for the increase to demons. But I have been looking at the craft

Blood Gloves. Not only do they give life leech and come with CB (this is a huge plus to me), they can also spawn with IAS. So I am thinking if I should start crafting and eventually phase out my LoH gloves. Thanks.

here's ias breakpoints if u need them...
for a bowazn i prefer knockback ...

Thanks for the response.

That calculator looks quite useful, where can I find it? Thx

Edit: actually, for the second image, the one that shows

Strafe, why does the FPS column show 3 numbers? What do they mean?

https://warren1001.github.io/IAS_Calculator/
1st number is # of frames to start strafing
2nd is # of frames between each shot
3rd is # of recovery frames after last shot
so with 50ias on the bow u r at 5/3/8
with 30 more ias u can reach 5/3/7; not a big difference
the next breakpoit @120 will give u 2 frame

Strafe, a huge increase
but getting an extra 70 ias wonr be easy...

Thank you.

If your end game bow is

Windforce, then it has built in knockback so

Hit Power Gloves aren't needed.

Blood Gloves can be very useful for a bowzon. If you're running an elemental bowzon try to get +2 Bow and

Crossbow Skills and 20 IAS. Anything on top of that is gravy. If your running a physical bowzon try and get +2 Passive and Magic with 20 IAS.

If

Windforce is not your end game bow and your aren't using

Giant Skull, then try and craft

Hit Power Gloves (for the knockback). Look for the same skill allocations I mentioned with the

Blood Gloves.

However there is nothing wrong with LoH, they are phenomenal gloves. As are

Lava Gout (for the CtC

Enchant).

For a physical Bowazon you mean gloves like this? I guess I got really lucky this season. It was the fourth or fifth pair of gloves I crafted for my Bowazon. Since I am playing hardcore the plus 2 to passiv and magic skills is awesome. I also have LoH but I am using this pair of gloves.

remake, 2 affix hit / 4.

Blood Gloves need 3 hit to be good enough to use. it is kind of old post but new blood.

I get your math, but I'd like to disagree with the evaluation.

2 skills, 20 IAS, in combination with 10 CB (max) and 3ll (max) make them absolutely usable and even sellable if you decide to trade them. Not too valuable since 2 affixes are bad (well 25plr is not even a total loss) but still superior to LoH and the other shelf items available for a bow ama.

vs LoH win, yes
remake also true but he is ladder, maybe useable

Since this thread got revived, why would physical bowa want +2 passive and magic instead of +2 bow and

Crossbow?

Because additional skills on

Strafe, multishot and

Guided Arrow does less on high levels than

Critical Strike,

Penetrate, and

Pierce. In addition you get a boost for your

Valkyrie and the

Evade skills.

Damn, I haven't done a bowa since LOD, so I didn't think of that. Too bad I

Charsi'd some 20 IAS, + passive and magic gloves since I thought that only +bow skills had trade value.

I'll comment as a melee character (not a bowazon). I play as a Fury

Werewolf.

My experience is LoH is very powerful for the bonus damage to demons and high fire resist.

However, I prefer using

Blood Gloves. The reason is that the crushing blow and other possible mods are good against everything, while the bonus damage to demons is only good against 1/3 of the monsters + bosses. But crushing blow is also good against bosses. As I only have gorerider's (and no other source of crushing blow), I prefer the

Blood Gloves to get my CB close to or at 25%.

That's just me though. I prefer generalizability and versatility over specialization. My current

Blood Gloves give 20% IAS, 8% crushing blow, and good fire resist. I have a pair I made that have 20% IAS and 10% crushing blow, but they don't have the fire resist which I like. Furtheremore,

Blood Gloves give a bonus to life (LoH doesn't have this) and possibly other good stuff.

The LoH vs demon is addition, so it is not as good as you think.

ED is multiple, so it might better for 60 ED than this? My feeling is that

Steelrend might beat this.

Where

Laying of Hands shine is with a Strafezon also using

Andariel's Visage.

Andariel's supplies the Life Leech and another 20% IAS, and LOH's 50% to fire resistance offsets the -30% to Fire Resistances. In the meantime you can continue to roll for an ideal pair of

Blood Gloves to replace them.

I also crafted a pair of

Blood Gloves that have 20% IAS and +25% magic find. Hard to beat that when magic finding with a melee character.

You can count mf break points.

If it cant reach next breakpoints, you may want to use less mf but stronger gloves, difference is small.

How do I find mf break points?
