Avenger Emblem, Mechanical Glove or Fire Gauntlet?

[Angel Unit 55]

For my melee DPS accessory loadout I also have a Celestial Stone, a Destroyer Emblem, a Warrior Emblem and a Menacing Hoverboard. What would be the best fifth accessory?

For melee? fire gauntlet added fire utility and more knockback.

The destroyer emblem is a combination of all 3 damage emblems and adds damage to all types of damage, so consider that if you want more reliable damage.

Celestial stone dosent hold up well when compared to destroyer emblem or fire gauntlet.
Dont bother with the hover board just use wings its more of a vanity flight item.

Lel, hoverboard's amazing, It's the best pair of wings (You know, kinda) before the latest update, but now actual wings can compete.

Well, I'm now puzzled.

The wiki says the Mechanical Glove adds 9% to melee damage and speed since 1.2.4, but the 1.2.4.1 tooltip says it adds 12%, which seems to be the actual bonus (tested in comparison with an Avenger Emblem). Maybe 1.2.4.1 undid the nerf but wasn't in the changelog, or the wiki forgot to update this?

On the other hand, I'm now sure about going with the Mechanical Glove because bonus knockback plus 12% damage and speed is obviously better than 12% damage alone. Fire Gauntlet's DoT is kinda meh and it comes at the cost of 3% on its other, more useful bonuses.

The Fire gauntlet (as far as im concerned is a complete downgrade from the mechanical glove theres no reason (other than a small dot) to give up 3% in 3 super good stats

Mechanical Glove.

Honestly if you’re a ranger class like me, the Ranger Emblem is better than any of those.

If you have to pick just 1, the mechanical Glove is the better choice for boss encounters seeing as the Fire Gauntlet gives up damage and attack speed in favor of a fire DoT which most bosses are immune to, but it results in higher damage against normal mobs.

If you can, get all of them and swap them as need be. If you have just 1 to pick, I´d say get the Mechanical Glove.
