Superior Feline Gauntlets

Superior Feline Gauntlets are the upgraded hand armor of the Cat School gear, the third of the base game’s four levels (basic, enhanced, superior and mastercrafted). They are light armor built for fast, aggressive fighting, and their headline bonus is +8% Attack power.

The last base-game step is the mastercrafted version, which needs these as a component, and the line ends with the Grandmaster Feline Gauntlets in Blood and Wine. Compared with the Enhanced Feline Gauntlets the armor rating goes from 51 to 63, and they gain an upgrade slot. The rest of the superior set: armor, trousers, boots.
