I’ve been farming these for what feels like forever, today I finally got them…
What an anticlimax they are absolute trash.
My dps has dropped considerably from my frostburn gloves.
Its killed my willpower to play.
Please buff them they should be randomly deal 100% - 300% damage.

My basic attack has seen under 1000 damage to over 100k
My fist is 1-260%.
I cant tell if its worth it or not. Feels like a side grade. My character attacks a lot though.
Why you relying on GAMBA gloves to do damage?
Do you happen to be playing Sorc or barb by any chance? Lmao
Of course I’m playing sorceror.
I’ve seen video’s online of people doing millions of damage with FOF for me they are junk
only time fists of fate are even good is if they are a perfect 300% roll.
Secondly, they are only good for builds that have multiple/rapid hits.
Flurry/Twisting Blades is good, Ice shards would be good in aoe packs, blizzard would be good.
ball lightning would be good, etc.
Anything that doesnt hit super fast or a lot of enemies rapidly they are too rng.
First mistake is picking Sorc.
Sorc will be unusable for at least the next 4 months.
Roll another class and have fun playing the game
Also in s1 Sorc will be missing 750 armor from accs so she’s gonna be even worse

That would make them Best in Slot for every build in the game.
Why did you obsess and try to target farm them?
LOL gloves that give you double damage for just the aspect? You do know fist of fate if you not using a core skill for your main damage is a 50 percent damage increase just off that 1 to 300 percent aspect.
Sure it is random but it is average 50 percent dmg. No other gloves give 50 percent dmg.
Because what else is there to aim for with sorc. Hardly any useful uniques exist
The unique’s aspect reads “Your attacks randomly deal [1%] to [200%] — [ 300%] of their normal damage.”
Average damage will be (high end damage%) / 2, so a 200% model will yield only 100% average damage (which is basically nothing extra), while a 300% model will yield 150% average damage (or +50% extra average damage). This explains why this unique stinks as a whole.
The extra proc’s are nice, but I’d rather take a legendary glove with +15% IAS, +crit chance, +lucky hit, and other max stats after fully upgrading.
I started merching fists after my 5th drop.

Am responding to the proposed change the OP said. If you made it 100 to 300 percent dmg it would be by far the best gloves for EVERY build.
And all uniques are garbage so why does this one need special treatment?
Fists of Fate are OP for stunning uber lilith. It has two lucky hit CCs on it, which make her stagger very quickly. The damage bonus is whatever.
OP just doesn’t know what the item is for. They are making a knee jerk reaction forum post because the item isn’t ideal for their build.
so just make them randomly up to triple damage with no downside? Sure, sounds balanced.
I lose 11% crit chance when equipping fof that makes a huge damage reduction
The gloves are missing an affix to be useful in my opinion.
If it had something like a 2x roll for base lucky hit that would make it more appealing and useful i.e. 10-20% chance to lucky hit rather than the rolls we can roll on standard gloves.
As it stands I don’t see how these ever beat out a good rare + aspect glove.
