The Sparkle Hands vs Gloves of Cinder and Sizzle
I am playing a Tavern Brawler, Open Hand Monk.
I know there are a handful of Gloves for Monks that add 1d4 of some elemental damage.
This post is focused on the two items available in Act 1.
The Sparkle Hands:
- https://bg3.wiki/wiki/The\_Sparkle\_Hands
The Gloves of Cinder and Sizzle
- https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Gloves\_of\_Cinder\_and\_Sizzle
The uncertain part here is… the Sparkle Hands add +1 to hit and Damage and every, round I can proc the D8… potentially using Flurry of Blows and Unarmed Bonus Attack (before 5) or at 5+ Two Attacks and a Bonus Attack.
Is there something I’m missing maybe?
I can potentially see pairing the Cinder Gloves with… Heat items… like the Cinder Shoes but Heat seems like a worse version go Lightning Charges.
I can see opportunities with the other element type on the Monk Gloves.. potentially. But the Cinder and Sizzle Gloves in particular feel worse than the Spark Hands.
I’m open to all feedback around Gloves of Element types and other item interactions for the Monk.
Or maybe there’s something just plain better than both at that point in the game?
