I'd hate if this is the same as with DOT dagger builds, you spend half an hour delicately setting traps to get through a situation most straight up damage classes just run through in seconds.

This is my exact concern. Why set all that up in the picture when you can just hold right click and slaughter them in seconds with your 33724829k *insert skill here* (split arrow, ice spear, etc.).

agreed i would only see a use for it on boss's, trash mobs especially on normal difficulty shouldn't require so much prep. another character could cleave, sweep or just fire storm the group, unless you use less mana on the traps i don't see much point besides entertainment value for normal grinding or for extremely squishy characters or to get distance.

it would seem the new whirling blades or ethereal knives for dex based aoe would be more beneficial in this situation illustrated in the image... maybe not as satisfying or tactical but possibly faster, or just casting the spell that would otherwise be a trap instantly.

i will try traps out, the idea seems fun just dont know if its going to be practical.
