Like the AC and stats, the 50hp and 50mana are great and even warrior can use wis or int at times but everyone loves stamina and MR so wow nice!
But wait, what's that? Some bard said what? Oh look, no MAGIC tag, for those of you who aren't bards we are the only class besides monks and BLs who are alowed to punch magic or not based on our hand armor. And yes sometimes we do punch stuff although the damage isn't all that noticable at 100 h2h skill (I'm capped at that so are most bards I know) it is still useful and desirable for bards to be able to punch magic so they can do so while holding an instrument. Too bad, because that is the only thing holding these back from being perfect bard gloves not that it will stop me from trying to get some.
