Major Damage Exploit with EA and Bear Trap with Certain Supports

Ya, i got pwnt by this in pvp...

This definitely sounds screwy. I'll check it out first thing tomorrow.
This has to be fixed immediately. This bug is highly exploitable in PvP as well as in PvE.

I made a video real quick that shows how ridiculous the damage of bear trap gets vs Vaal on Merciless:

Now that is pretty goddamn broken.
I tested this for a bit with


And using the good old CI, VP and GR, i was leeching over 6k es from just 2 mobs hit by explosive arrow, and I was freezing merc vaal for over 5 seconds with 1 arrow.

Cool, never heared of this before, must try it. Can we keep this for solo players like me, at least in PvE? :D
So basically all the skills that deal damage that is neither spell nor attack are affected by this bug. If that is the case, the skill list posted earlier seems complete.

Solo or not, this bug just makes the game faceroll :)

I'm sorry sir, but I have to say that you're wrong about that. It can work with a lvl 1 cold to fire gem just as well. In fact I didn't ever have any issues while testing with lvl 1, 2, 3, 4 and lvl 10 cold to fire. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't rly matter what level your cold to fire is.


Yes, you are right and I was not. The factor is the cold-dmg. My bad...
Hold on to yer shite load o´ bloody barnacles on me arse-cockles, me hearty!

I play PoE since open Beta, nothing onto this game is "Faceroll", it's hardcore even in softcore. ;)
Strange, that this bug wasn't discovered earlier, is it new or was in all the time? Cold+cold to fire is not that uncommon for usage I guess.

EDIT: OK, tried it out, my ranger had a bear trap where these gems fit in perfectly. ^^ Cold dmg+ cold to fire seems to be "working", I can one-shot rare monsters and even Kole (!) with one single Trap. Maybe this is a liiiiitle bit op, but only a little bit.
Hello Piety, time for revenge! :D
