It depends on where you use these gloves. If you need a high defense bonus or want to fight with magic or range, you are not going to need ferocious gloves. On the contrary, they are going to harm your efforts.  If you want to fight mobs of monsters, get the maximum exp an hour, accuracy, and max hits while fighting with melee, and defense is not crucial, the ferocious gloves are going to be amazing.  In a lot of cases, the ferocious gloves are going to be best in the slot for a lot of monsters; however, when hybriding to use different styles, you are way better off using barrows gloves.
