Am I missing something with the new gauntlet weapon?

[Dagungus]

I find it to be staggeringly low in the damage it does. Not only does it require you to get up close and personal to enemies (Very risky for magic users) but the spells have alarmingly limited range. a T attack, a propagation that only bounces 3 times. And a fairly good explosion line skill that you can use once a turn.
It just feels... Idk, clunky, risky, and does so little damage. Am I missing something?

I think the point is to get extra propagation bounces so that you can hit at least 6 enemies per skill, which triggers the weapon's perk that boosts the weapon's damage and range.

And as a one-handed weapon, you can put a shield on your hero and make it a close-range magic user.

I don't like the weapon either, too low damage. Recently there was a video with some analysis, basically same conclusion.

It doesn't do anything except damage (I think?), and it doesn't do enough damage.

Second part can be tweaked with numbers next patch, first one probably stays but would be cool to have some debuffs related to concussion.

I think you summed it up well with 'clunky, risky, and does so little damage'. It is an odd weapon that I want to like but just isn't useful at the moment.

This weapon is the most powerful in game when you max propagation, prop damage, volatile propagation perk, magic damage, and skill range. Recommend equipping 2 and maxing crit with Pilsner beer + mana collector. You will be unstoppable clearing 6 packs per turn.
