Skill Reveal: Siphoning Trap

I'm excited! I was hoping that it would do high damage. I love traps that last a while and do DoT. Hopefully this will work great with Fire Trap.

All these trap skills, yet no one really plays trap builds.

Is this them moving traps into a point where they may be used as utility skills? Similar to the way people use warchief totems and golems as utility without actually focusing a build revolving around Warchief and golems?

what kind of loser kill mobs with DoT these days?

RF, SR, ED, DO and ignites at least at the start of next league to name a few used DoT skills these days?

More RF nerfs incoming.

It blows my mind how many of you guys think this is supposed to be your main damage skill. Read. The. Text. It's PURELY for utility. OF COURSE it's going to do shit damage.

Anyhow, all I want to know is, can it CoH?

'The damage it deals is not enormous...'

wat?

edit: I see, if I use it as support purpose, I can create a large aoe that chill enemies with multiple Siphoning Traps activated, so that any other skills work with chill might work easier. (eg. skill that supported by Hypothermia doing more damage)

I KNOW RIGHT!?!

Where is the love for our belovedly under-rated skill gem of possibilities.....

Not worth the gem slot. Too slow and if you are throwing one of these to save yourself at 500 hps you are already dead or will be soon. Just pot and run and hit with a much better ability.

Considering I made a character that uses Caustic Arrow Mirage Archer (6l), Self Cast Blight (5l), Deaths Oath (6l), Whither totems and the occasional Essence Drain (to speed up boss kills even moar because I can)....

This loser??? I mean, why settle for one measly wack a mole skill when I can just go all in and obliterate???
