Burning, Caustic or Frost Gauntlets?

[Evilhalfling]

Clearly they should all have the same wording as lvl 6,6,7 items in the AV
but minor word changes create huge differences -

Fire Gauntlets only effect [fire] attacks.
Caustic Gauntlets effect any ranged attack, but the milestone only kicks in if you are using ranged + [acid]
Frost Gauntlets effect any melee, and the milestone kicks in for all melee attacks. (also has a nice synergy with the 2 cold feats.)

Which write up should be used? Caustic is the worst written, with the milestone actually making the power worse.

Umm...why exactly should they all be identical? They're all different items that work differently.

I don't think they're supposed to be the same, but I think the Caustic Gauntlets do have a mistake. Normally they give (among other things) 1 extra acid damage on successful ranged attacks, but if you've reached a milestone they say "2 extra acid damage on successful ranged attacks with the acid keyword".... I don't think that last bit ("with the acid keyword") is supposed to be there, since none of the rest of the power works that way.
