They last longer and you can get more than 1 pair at a time. Course goliaths gloves are a little niche for combat but the niche they fill is pretty nice.
Goliath gloves were not worth the effort previously, and now they only save you the time you actually spend getting them, so still not worth it. When you compare rapier and sole Goliath gloves we find that rapier is still better. So in honesty doing this serves no practical use because of the time it takes for the xp gained.
You only named 3 monsters that actually benefits from Goliath gloves. Most of the time Wyverns are blocked or skipped because they are a waste of time. I agree with you on waterfiends that it's very fast killing them, but ONLY at Chaos tunnels with steel/iron titan. Gargoyles are ok, you can notice the difference in speed.
Other than that there's no real use of the gloves unless you want the extra stats. Even then it's not worth the time to get them, unless you want to kill time in Dominion Tower.
