From a pure dps perspective, the new 2.4 ones should be the better choice.
2.4 gloves:
- 95 total AP before HotW
- 35 agi
- 13 haste rating
- yellow socket with +2 agi socket bonus
2.3 gloves:
- 98 total AP before HotW
- 30 agi
- 25 haste rating
If it wasn't for the socket and bonus, the 2.3 gloves would have a small advantage but the socket gives the 2.4 gloves the advantage. Haste rating does help to a small extent but for the item cost it's not really worth it since a small portion of our dps comes from white damage and white damage augments our special damage less then it does for other melee classes.
From a hybrid perspective, 2.4 wins hands down with more armor, stamina and int without sacrificing dps potential.
That was quite my thinking too. The only small issue with that would be the bonus from T4. I mean, since it procs with each hit, wouldn't haste increase that proc? Or even with that in mind, it isn't worth?
Btw, I have the T4 helm and leg.
