I never had a solid dataset as backing, it just felt like a big deal.
The first night Arleas used Maladath in MC, he noticed a difference (especially on bosses) and couldn't explain it; I conjectured that the +4 Swords really was the key to this.
Now I spotted a great thread in the Rogue Forums, with some math and a mod to back this up. Original Poster (and his second post) pasted below for preservation reasons:
I'm so running this mod on the next few MCs, and I'll be sure to compare Aged Core Leather Gloves (+5 daggers) to Bloodfang Gloves (better overall stats) in particular.

Hmm, might be interesting for me, too. I tank with Maladath, which puts Keshi at 309 swords (+5 human, +4 Mala)
