‼️Main problems

① Excessive decrease in basic attack power and combat power reflection

Attack power is significantly lower than other weapons, resulting in a significant loss in combat power calculation.

There are difficulties in entering some content with power limits, and hunting speed is very slow for both single and wide-area skills.

Even over-farming relying on shields is meaningless due to lack of spots in higher hunting grounds.

The motion of the buff skill is large and long, making it inefficient even in solo play.

---

② Lack of supporter role performance

Buff performance is significantly lacking compared to other roles (e.g., sword/shield), making the support position almost uncompetitive.

In wide-area engagements (melee), the skill application range is narrow and limited to 'party members including yourself', resulting in very low practical contribution.

Role performance is virtually impossible in large-scale battles because it is not expanded to party/raid units, and a complete review of the role design is necessary.

---

③ In-game weapon appearance not implemented

All weapons have grade-specific appearances, but gauntlets are displayed completely bare-handed except for the enhancement effect.

Even when equipping a mythic weapon, the appearance is not displayed, so the value of in-app purchases and equipment growth rewards are not visually felt at all.

The fact that grade-specific equipment images exist but are not applied in-game makes the game look incomplete.

---

④ Monotonous skills/motions and inconsistency with job concept

Most skill motions consist of monotonous motions such as one-two/front kick repetition, which greatly reduces the sense of impact and fun.

Unlike the setting of 'master of bare-handed combat', there are dirty skills that do not match the concept, such as throwing stones and rocks.

The probability of inflicting abnormal status is excessively low, so utility and control abilities are also below expectations.

Action unique to gauntlet weapons is needed, such as kicks, consecutive hits, and roundhouse kicks.

---

⑤ Fundamental limitations of overall weapon balance and mastery structure

It is difficult to fully perform the identity of 'melee supporter' because attack, buff, motion, and utility are not balanced.

The mastery structure does not match the current meta, resulting in very low contribution in party play and large-scale battles.

Among users, weapon value evaluation is so poor that many say, 'If a gauntlet comes out when acquiring a mythic weapon, they are very disappointed.'

Just for rerolling or less.

Improvements needed

1) Readjustment of overall attack power and basic performance

Increase basic attack power correction and combat power reflection to a reasonable level compared to other weapons.

Optimize the delay and overall motion delay of single and wide-area skills.

2) Complete review of supporter role structure

Expand the buff/shield application range to party/raid units.

Expand the range and improve judgment that can be used in wide-area engagement situations.

Increase abnormal status probability.

3) Apply weapon appearance in-game

Implement grade-specific weapon appearances normally in-game.

Visually enhance the appearance effects of mythic and other high-grade weapons to improve satisfaction with equipment growth.

4) Complete skill/motion renewal

Add motions using actions unique to gauntlets (continuous hits, roundhouse kicks, consecutive strikes, etc.).

Redesign skills that do not match the concept (throwing stones, rocks, etc.).

Modernize the skill structure focusing on impact, speed, and linkage.

5) Mastery/utility structure improvement

Reorganize mastery in a direction that increases contribution in party-centered play.

Introduce a variable utility structure that can properly utilize the characteristics of a melee supporter.

Conclusion

The current gauntlet weapon needs improvement in all areas, including attack power, support ability, appearance, motion, and mastery.

A fundamental redesign at the level of a reboot is needed, not just numerical adjustments.

Users see the gauntlet not just as a balance issue, but as an issue of weapon identity and completeness.

In order to maintain the game's job diversity and the fun of weapon selection, we request that this weapon be actively reviewed and improved.
