Impact on Builds
1. Elemental Damage-Focused Builds
With the new extra elemental damage modifiers, the Painter’s Servant Torn Gloves are now an ideal choice for elemental damage builds. These gloves provide a solid damage boost for Cold, Fire, and Lightning damage, enhancing both elemental-based spells and attacks.
2. Hybrid Elemental Builds
The elemental damage conversion remains key for hybrid builds, allowing players to use a combination of elemental damage types effectively. Whether you’re focusing on spells or attacks, these gloves provide versatility, allowing you to scale Cold, Fire, and Lightning damage more effectively.
3. Cold, Fire, and Lightning Synergy
These gloves are now perfectly suited for builds that focus on multi-elemental damage, allowing you to scale damage across three types simultaneously. The extra elemental damage modifiers will increase damage output across the board, while the conversion mechanics ensure you can adapt to different types of elemental builds.
Tips for Using Painter’s Servant Torn Gloves
1. Amplify Elemental Damage
Pair these gloves with other elemental damage or elemental penetration gear to further enhance your elemental damage output. Mods that increase your Cold, Fire, or Lightning damage will synergize perfectly with the extra elemental damage offered by the gloves.
2. Hybrid Elemental Conversion Builds
If you’re building around hybrid elemental damage (such as Cold Fire or Fire Lightning combinations), these gloves will help you convert and scale damage across multiple elements. Look for conversion gear to complement the 33% elemental damage conversion.
3. Focus on Elemental Hit or Multi-Elemental Spells
If you’re playing a multi-elemental build, consider using skills like Elemental Hit or spells that deal Cold, Fire, and Lightning damage simultaneously. These gloves will help maximize damage in such builds.
The Painter’s Servant Torn Gloves in Path of Exile 2 have been reworked to offer significant elemental damage boosts and conversion for Cold, Fire, and Lightning damage. With the removal of the resistance bonuses, these gloves now cater to offensive elemental builds, making them perfect for players looking to maximize elemental damage and damage conversion.
