Fire Trap

its an issue when people rather use magma orb trap and firestorm trap instead
and even then they struggle with 74+ maps kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbFE90QKJIw

I rolled a firetrapper this league and here is my feedback on the gem before giving up on doing trap builds again.
The 'reach' of the skill is terrible in terms of being able to have it affect things that are just coming at you from offscreen. This becomes a huge issue at t7+ and suddenly made the build feel unplayable because of the mechanics limitations. -Packs start getting fast and rush you right as they come onscreen so the strategy of throwing a trap first and then manually dodging becomes less safe. Compared to spell caster or bow user, trap area coverage, cast time to throw a trap, and the line of sight and collision issues of traps all feel problematic. Having to use firestorm with temporal chains+flammability mixed with traps was the only way I could resolve the folly of trying to make a pure trap build that could not handle being rushed by stuff coming at me from the edge of the screen. At that point though I had to ask myself why I wasnt just playing pure firestorm build instead. Adding firestorm to get around problematic line of sight+offscreen attack issues basically undoes the key bonus of traps builds which is ignoring corrupting blood and elemental reflect - sigh. Problems with line of sight and collision detection Traps appear the be thrown 'underhand' , traced for a collision with the environment from the player's feet, so standing right near a corner and throwing them, or standing by a low railing and trying to throw a trap to the other side doesnt work. You don't get a trap at the desired location, instead you get 1 trap at your feet sometimes and nothing else. suggested improvement: Traps would work so much better if they had a line of sight check like rain of arrows/firestorm which lets you attack areas with a gap/height difference as well as map tiles with waist high railings that other attacks can cross etc. experiences with passives applied to firetrap Area of effect supports seem really weak when applied to this gem. Compared to say flameblast. I went out of my way grabbing all the aoe nodes and ended up regretting out of it because the radius difference was terrible. Things I liked about this skill gem It was fun to peek in a room and throw fire traps and cover the ground with burning ground. I invested in burn duration nodes, and jewels to make the most of the burning ground damage and the feeling up until higher mapping was pretty satisfying. Lab is a chore Delve / Harbinger / Incursion / Delirium best leagues. Last edited by Ruby_Lux#0056 on Nov 10, 2015, 3:52:44 AM

Does DoT effected by AoE?
Does Explosion damage effected by something that said "duration skills"? Does Icrease of Area affects on Area of Explosion and Area of Burning ground? "Отрастил скилл - имеешь право ногибать" СерБ Last edited by Radonegskyprotiv#6428 on Mar 1, 2016, 1:22:34 PM

Why is Fire trap gem 3 second cooldown while Ice and Lightning trap gems are 2 second? I feel like Fire trap should also be 2 seconds.
I am currently using Fire trap because Ice trap lags my computer too much. But fire trap definitely feel weaker than ice trap in every way atm. Last edited by akinunal1337#5094 on Mar 8, 2016, 9:58:06 PM

RIP Firetrap. Now you are beyond useless =(

Not exactly a bug - in fact it's working exactly as intended, but it's still a little weird that fire trap creates "burning ground" on water :)

Old time trapper over here, and author of that silly What a Shocking Tri-Element Trapper build. Basically, I am a Trapper that utilizes Elemental Equilibrium together with three Elemental Traps, using Fire Trap for single target damage and must say that it isn't impressive.
Of course, Fire Trap doesn't appear to be meant for single Target, though this did got me thinking that there needs to be an Elemental Trap that focuses more on single target via low AoE but high base damage. Either that, or just turn Fire Trap or Ice Trap into such a skill, probably easily achievable by only giving Ice Trap a boost in its base damage. A suggestion for a new Trap I would have is an Impulse Trap, dealing Area of Effect Lightning Damage with very small range. Effects it may have is a base chance to Shock enemies or a chance to stun them. Key importance here would be, of course, small AoE, high Base Damage. Something a bit more simple would be a Explosion Trap, dealing great amounts of Fire Damage on a small area, but nothing past that. Basically, anything that has a high Element base damage over a small Area would work out. |
