Siphoning Trap and Explosive Trap

Looks like they don't have a trap cooldown, so...endless spam in HLD?

Siphoning Trap also sounds like it ignores block/dodge based on the wording...

Of the 5 new trap gems, only Explosive Trap doesn't have a cooldown. They're removing the cooldown for Lightning and Fire trap too I believe.

Worth noting, these are the first trap skills released since 1.3.
I believe, traps just like DoT is a special case and require specific T-values. Otherwise PvP damage reduction will be calculating based on cast speed.

Things like explosive trap perform multiple hits per 'cast' so the pvp damage will be in range from 'no links skill oneshot 7k hp' to '3l skill oneshot Qbot on HoGM'
