The item we are after from this monster are the {{ItemIcon|Gauntlets of Rage}}. These items feature a hefty -3% DR, which when combined with the 8% DR (or more) sacrificed compared to typical gloves, this item overall has a huge -11% relative DR bonus. So why is this item considered useful? Well, both of the above negatives can simply be ignored by equipping the item in the [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]] instead of the glove slot. The opportunity cost paid for this slot is generally a DPS comparison (compared to the three power shields), rather than a survivability comparison.
In situations where survivability is needed, {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} will still be the go-to item, but for situations when DPS is needed, {{ItemIcon|Gauntlets of Rage}} will be used for longer fights (as the effect needs to ramp up) such as boss fights, and one of the three power shields will most likely be used otherwise for shorter fights. There will rarely be a situation where these gloves will be worn in the actual glove slot, as situations where the -11% relative DR penalty isn't a factor are also situations where the fight will not be long enough to allow the glove effect to ramp up enough.
As these gloves work for all three styles, consider grabbing up to 3 sets for future convenience.

As {{MonsterIcon|Goliath Werewolf}} has the rage effect himself ''and'' can stun, this fight can be quite dangerous. This is why we opt to use {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} with {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}} over {{ItemIcon|Lightning Coil 2H Staff}} for the extra DR.
