Fire Trap

not sure if its intended or not but this is classified as a spell but does not benefit from spell damage, forgot to mention they also lack any sort of crit chance at least in the offense screen

I tested with 10% spell damage and the DPS value increased, so I assumed was affected by Spell Damage.

In any case, from level 1 to 10 this has been a wonderful skill. The gameplay as a dual weilding melee character is now more fun when there is another tactical option with traps. It also works fine as a ranged attack to target ranged attacking enemies.

I have been using it for the same purpose as a dual wielder. Traps are pretty fun, I'll have to see if it scales well enough to keep using it if I don't invest in spell damage.

really enjoyed this trap so far.

i assume AoE and +fire/elemental dmg passives affect the explosion?

ill go double check to see if my in game ui just was not listing it properly, will edit in wether or not it is from that test


after double checking it does increase its listed dps just not the damage values in the tooltip when you mouse over the skill in your hotbar.

still find it odd that both this and bear trap have 0 crit chance when they're in a crit centric classes area in terms of their passives and design.

At low levels as a ranger with just fire trap and bear trap soloed most yellow / bosses with ease.

It worked amazingly well for Brutus, launching 2 fire and the bear on top of each other, and kiting Brutus into the mix. Looking forward to see how well it scales at higher levels.

This skill is pretty fun but I have a question. Increased quantity/rarity supports won't effect this skill will it because the fire damage is a DoT?

i notice that the DoT is either like poison arrow or firestorm. which is it? i know it can inflict burning sometimes after the explosion, causing even more damage every second while on the chars.
