The options are very limited when it comes to gloves and boots for a lot of builds, so a few monster infrequent variations that provide bonuses to more skills, as well as random stats, would be very useful. Especially since monster infrequents can have affixes and right now there are none, from what I can tell.
So limited, one might even say there are zero of them.

Yes, by “limited” I meant that there are only a few epic/legendary ones that don’t match with your build a lot of times.
Instead of boot and glove MIs we have the ability to craft them (and therefore a reason to accumulate vast amounts of scrap).
But crafted rare boots/gloves can’t be double rare (I think) and MI ones would also add some extra stats, like skill bonuses or even skill modifiers, which I for one would love to see on them. Even a “+1 to class skills” would be very helpful (like belts have), not to mention some damage type conversions.
They can be double rate. The base is yellow but both affixes can be green.
And yes, MIs could add goodies, but that would probably be balanced by nerfs elsewhere as players are not exactly underpowered as it is.

Oh, thanks for the correction. Yes, crafted items can be double rare, I don’t know why I was under the impression that they can’t be.
For me it’s fine that no MI exists for them, just to keep the sake of crafting alive. It would be a pity if crafting becomes obsolete just bc there is a better MI around. Balance between crafting and MI hunting is healthy as it is, I have no desire to farm for moar well rolled MI’s

This the reason I keep my loot filter with regular rares on and have to sort through lots of unneeded stuff. On my first playthrough I turned off regular rares at around lvl 40 and never upgraded my boots and gloves lol.
That’s a good point too, but a few MI shouldn’t fit all characters, so crafting might still come on top a lot of times, right?
For boots and gloves slots there are ofc some nice legendaries but I do often craft plagueguard/emberguard grips and intreprid warboots to fill resist holes 
and to have more atk or cast speed
Lol. Back when only the base game was out, this would not be that big of a problem because you could at least fill the glove and boot slots with nice non-crafted faction gear like Elite Harvest Grips and Footpads.
