These new Gauntlets come with two nice perks, but, after testing yesterday, here is some information that is not obvious at first glance.
STATED PERKS:
Faster reload speed with primary weapons.
Reduces melee cooldown every time you pick up an orb of light.
Gain invisibility after crouching in place for a short time. Melee attacking an enemy from behind deals 4x damage while invisible.
-----
Obvious facts here.
-You can replace a perk on the bladedancer tree.
-You can one-hit melee guardians in crucible.
But here are some interesting ones I found.
-It takes about 5 seconds to go invisible and that invisibility lasts 6 seconds on gunslinger. However, will stack with shadowjack on bladedancer and will last 10 seconds. -You can go invisible while golden gun is active and have 75% of the super time left to use it.
-If an enemy survives the 4x damage- the attack will do damage over time. Like the thorn.
-In PvP, while I was invisible, I knifed a guardian in the front and I dealed damage over time as well. I noticed it lasted longer than thorn and left them with about 30% of health. EDIT: Another guardian verified it was even less than that.
-Edit: The 4x damage does NOT work with a throwing knife because you become visible when it leaves your hand.
Edit: There is a small cooldown (7-10sec) for the invisibility. You can't go invis after becoming visible right away.
If I notice anything else- I'll add it. I just found the DoT damage interesting.
EDIT: SUGGESTIONS AND OTHER NOTES
Feel free to answer these if you know!
[spoiler]"Do you know if the 4x damage stacks with the backstab perk?" -Poglett
Got an answer! No, it does not.
[quote]Did personal testing today myself, kephris give you stalker+backstab, this allows you to pick other perks, I use hungering blade+escape artist, this allows for two "backstabs", with the right modifiers and max discipline you can dish out like 60k+ damage about every 15 seconds. (Backstab and stalker perks do not stack on top of kephris)[/quote] by Calculous Lupus
"can you shoot thorn then melee and have two DoTs going on at once?" -RogueNinja93
Someone replied and said no as well.
"Does it work on crota with the sword ?" -Ricky
No.
I'm also wondering myself how much damage you deal to a player with an overshield.. like a sunsinger.. will keep up to date.[/spoiler]

-Been getting some comments about appearance. Eris' "predawne" shader matches really well with this exotic.
Thanks for all the replies guys!
