User blog comment:Amethystamy/Lotus, Will you ever give up your Death Tourch?/@comment-76.120.120.100-20100929042313

I have an unproven theory on getting items from monsters. It seems as though depending on the damage you deal, that determines your winnings. I had a similar issue in Kiera fights. My theory is reduce your overall damage slightly; since the gauntlets are the 3rd best item in the Epic drop category, that's how I'd go after them.
