Thanos or Genji? Warning: *ID* screens!
I'm really conflicted. The Gauntlets of Thanos would put a big damper on my fighting ability, but I'd get to raise my armor class a lot because they would give me a lot of resistances I need (already have, but use lesser equipment so I'll have them) and I'd have TWO immunities! I mean... I could take down some heavy fire or cold-using uniques with these gauntlets.

Then again, I have no clue what the ancient, foul curse does! I removed the heavy curse, but the ancient foul one still remains. So... advice? I get 11 attacks, so a drop in damage could be augmented by wearing the armor Dasai since the Gauntlets of Thanos kill my stealth anyway.

For now I'm going with Genji... any ideas how I could counteract the penalties of the Gauntlets of Thanos and get those immunities?

Very bad, in short. Thanos has a specific use for me: use for Arena fights.

you're a shadow fairy ninja. aggravate would be a huge penalty, I imagine. plus, the ancient foul curse will most likely eventually kill you. lastly, you're dual wielding. wear the genji.

Very good points and suggestions! I've crossed swords with cyberdemons once already, and barely lived to tell the tale!

Honestly, after only a short while, I realized how much using Dasai was crippling me. I could melee things wonderfully, but now I've got a hard leather cap that gives me +4 speed, and I've got my stealth, perception, and searching all up to Amber.

Much MUCH nicer, even with 10 blows instead of 11! (Had to sacrifice Hammerhand) though I managed to get a CON boost and I'm up to about 420 hp!

So no Thanos for me.
