Hello everyone! I completely understand your concerns (and we’re ingesting your feedback), but this was an initial bug on our end that was fixed with this patch. It wasn’t an intended perk, as I initially stated.
Thank you! Double checking this.
We understand you’re frustrated because you care! And the feedback on communication is important and I appreciate it. I’m less than a month into this role, so you’ll have to understand it’ll also take me some time to ramp up and understand how best to relay information! 
But my goal is to create that two-way communication around these issues as much as possible. Right now I can tell you that we are actively looking at your feedback and concerns and talking it through. To clear up some confusion, Glacial Sorrow Ice Gauntlet also had the Plagued Strikes perk which is intended for melee weapons and was on our list to fix.
Ultimately, though, we are listening to your unhappiness around this change and discussing the best next steps. Please standby!
Not all feedback will directly impact the game. However, that doesn’t mean we’re not listening or thoroughly discussing it. We have standing meetings every morning to discuss feedback/bugs and I am (when not in the forums) actively in conversations all day long.
To clarify, it means there are active conversations going on around this feedback and that while I cannot guarantee any changes at this time, we are discussing it.
@slayer1990 The void gauntlet is being rolled back (no changes to the other items at this time), though please note it’s still going through our testing process (~2-4 weeks) and won’t be in the next patch.
While I’m still reading feedback and relaying it, I’m less inclined to jump into a thread that’s not staying polite with their feedback. I hope you can understand - I’m only human. 
@Vesstan The Fire Staff is not being adjusted at this time.
