Was there any evidence and/or research that Fire gloves needed another pair when they have Wyrmbones, Handguards of Justice and Gauntlets of Ignaffar? Or did someone just suggest “Hey, you know what would be cool - to remove conversion from Cindertouch?” and you went with it? Because just by looking at Lightning meta you can see that those gloves is an important puzzle piece to a lot of Lightning builds. And Lightning meta is less than hot after all the nerfs you gave it.
Here is a piece of evidence:
Top PRM build that you yourself have nerfed multiple times (the most awkward nerf changing the damage split to 70/30% in favour of Fire despite Invoker being thematically bi-elemental set). Damage split before gloves nerfs:
Overwhelmingly Fire despite conversion and Lightning devotions.
Damage split after gloves nerf:
(should be higher with Iskandra’s relic proc but distribution would be the same of course).
I have deleted the videos of my runs but I have no problems recording it again. Give me 15 minutes.
