Lava Gout

Lava Gout battle gauntlets represent an underappreciated option for physical attackers in Diablo 2 Resurrected, combining attack speed, fire damage, and a unique auto-casting mechanic that sets them apart from typical glove choices. While overshadowed by Laying of Hands for demon-heavy areas, Lava Gout offers consistent utility across diverse content.

Enchant On Striking

The signature feature is 2% Chance to Cast Level 10 Enchant On Striking—the only item in the game with this property. Level 10 Enchant lasts six minutes and grants +101% Attack Rating along with 25-36 Fire Damage. Fast-attacking builds proc Enchant frequently, maintaining near-permanent uptime without manual recasting. This makes Lava Gout particularly valuable for characters who benefit from the attack rating boost but lack access to Demon Limb swapping.

Offensive Package

Beyond Enchant, Lava Gout provides +20% Increased Attack Speed and Adds 13-46 Fire Damage, creating solid baseline offensive stats. The +24% Fire Resistance helps with resistance capping, while Half Freeze Duration reduces chill annoyance. The combination suits physical builds running areas without heavy demon presence where Laying of Hands' massive demon bonus goes unused.

Practical Applications

Lava Gout excels for characters who value consistent performance over specialized spikes. Zealots, Frenzy Barbarians, and Fury Druids appreciate the attack speed and perpetual Enchant buff. The gloves shine in mixed-enemy areas like Chaos Sanctuary or Worldstone Keep where no single enemy type dominates.

Trade value remains low to moderate. Perfect 200% Enhanced Defense rolls hold minimal premium. While not best-in-slot for any build, Lava Gout deserves more recognition than it receives.
