I had an idea the other day, which is that the Lightning-Rod weapons are, frankly, pretty niche unless you can get someone to hit you with electrical damage - which seems to be all of two bosses.
My suggestion in this instance is that Shock gloves could, when activated while wielding a Lightning Rod weapon, contribute their damage for that round to the pool of the weapon. In concept, Lightning-Rod should be able to absorb electrical charge and deliver it out within the time limit, while Shock gloves has the capacity to discharge electricity into things or people you touch (which might include a conductive weapon). In essence, hooking the gloves discharge up to the internal capacitors of the weapon, allowing for lighting attacks as normal from the weapon for however long the gloves retain charge.
