    Sniper Gloves could use the 20' restriction removed from them. I get that if you're ranged, you're not (intended) to play like three quarters of a melee, but at the same time there's a lot of reason for ranged DPSes to either dip closer than 20' on a target on occasions, or spend the entirety of a specific fight that forces close-ranged combat within 20' distance. And it's not like its counterpart (Slicer Gloves) stops working if you use a melee attack from more than 10' away; everything from HW moves to Vorpal Blade still work fine with it.

    Beyond that though, I'm liking the buff to OV gear in general. Interestingly, this now means the tradeoff between DPS and survivability going OV/OV/Determ (since there's a Determ Utility Secondary that has... +336 HP on it if I recall the number right) is more pronounced, and now tanks and healers are objectively better off going full OV rather than OV/OV/Determ, where before it was the other way around. Though with that in mind, could we potentially see Cosmic and Determination (and poteeentially Legion) secondary set bonuses as well at some point in the future, so those aren't left in the dust entirely by OV and Eidolon (and eventually Therakiel) competing for usage?
    The fact that the forums refuse to tell you how close you are to the character/post size limit until you attempt to post something that happens to be too big- and the automated spam filter will immediately completely lock you out of posting long-term if you attempt to post or edit posts too close to the character limit- is genuine agony.

    This is my cry for help

    Yes, this^^. Cosmic secondaries aren't used all that much as it is, unless a player simply can't stomach the OSV grind, or maybe for ranged builds (never been clear on how useful the sniper gloves are for any but PA builds)

    Not to mention that stupid 20 feet restriction REALLY hurts point blank AOES like Storm Summoner and Invocation of Storm Calling which require you to be in melee range with the enemies

    I can't get over this, SUCH A GOOD BUFF :+1::+1::+1::+1: Well done! Thank you for this Buff!

    Made my obsession on getting OSV secondaries on all characters really well invested for Min Maxing

    Now even my most Niche FF builds get a Boost
    Onslaught Gloves of the Savior: Increased area to 50ft. Effect will not apply if target is at full power. Effect will not apply on targets that do not use energy. Added threat reduction effect.
    This makes savior gloves more desirable along with the 1000 HP bonus they give with full set

    ***Fresh Bug Reported*** I did test on the new "Onslaught Glove of the Savior" it does says the energy gain affects 5 allies within 50ft now (recued from 15 allies and 25-35 range) , but it seems does not work at all. Tested by partying, teaming up, and teaming up + partying they are all not working. and also re - equipping the gear.

    Hope this being fix because its killing my build... thank you.

    Savior got a nerf huh? Slicer also really needs that change to work on all ranged powers.

    Good change to buy auras. Guardian tokens are worth something now.

    I'd agree with this, not sure it really needs the 20 foot restriction.

    There really needs to be a confirmation window on these vendor purchases. While clicking it ended up buying multiple copies of an item when I didn't even want one of it.
