Short Explanation-
I like the concept of Stoneskin Gauntlets; A method of giving a unique advantage in a certain aspect of a profession's skills/abilities to that primary. Thus, the following concepts were born. The requirements come from the new Sentinel armor idea.
Edit: Note, it's not that I forgot Bloodstained Boots exist, they're another item of the same vein.

I think it refers to scourge healing. Or maybe allows the hexes from the monk's secondary profession to last longer

I like the idea, but there can only be one piece per profession, otherwise armor swapping would make for some serious unbalancing.
