New Synthesis Unique!!

They are really pushing that spell ES leech hard.

triggering socketed curse seems useless though. Don't build usually run curse on hit? Why would you want to manually double curse something?

Perhaps because you use more than 2 curses? You could technically apply upto 5 curses with one button press with this, while reserving no mana and not needing a 6-link for it for Curse on Hit (which would still only apply 4 curses and still uses 1 button press, unless HoT). Only Doedre's Skin offers more utility (6 curses from one button press), at the cost of being a shit chest otherwise.

Yes, you have to stack more max curses, but the gloves help with that too. My Ice Spear build this league was able to get 6 max curses on her even before these gloves, and it's not a curse bot (1 base, 1 from Occultist, 1 from tree, 1 from ammy, 1 from Windshriek and 1 from new Betrayal chest craft - applied from a combination of Blasphemy, Herald of Thunder + CoH and one Shaper ring). 2 curses is just the start. And the gloves give you 1% spell leech into ES (sans Ghost Reaver, which means hybrid builds can use it and still have life leech too) from those curses as well, further incentivizing stacking.

Don't forget hybrid builds!

Bane is a new curse skill which is self-cast only.

I think the es meta is already reborn and here. Dense fossils brought back ES to nearly pre nerf values and no one can instant leech anyways.

The utter domination of spell builds pushes this even further.

You could apply multiple curses instantly using blasphemy or CoH, instead of having to press two buttons (curse + damage) for every pack of monsters you see. I mean we do have curse on hit, implicit on items after all.

The only build that I know that actually does manually curse is ED Contagion. And that build has bit out of favor for a while now for kind of the same reason.

It's slow and clunky.

And this item takes up a glove spot, which tends to be somewhat important on a lot of builds.

I dunno, call me cynical, but seems pretty useless except for the extra +1 curse.
