Freeze Mine

here's my question: why does increased duration will only increase the lifespan?? why can't work just like with fire trap???

ok, that makes sense, thanks for answer

Do the new trap nodes apply to the "fake" damage that freeze mine deals? I would assume yes, but you never know.

This skill has an interesting synergy with Glacial Hammer: it reduces cold resistance, and it makes it easier to achieve the shattering effect of Glacial Hammer. Alternatively, this could be very strong with Taryn's Shiver + cold spells. Has anyone tried these, or is it not worth the trouble of using mines when you could just freeze stuff directly with your main attack?

Since Frostbite lowers cold resistance, thus increasing cold damage, would it increase the "as though dealing x base Cold Damage," thus increasing the duration of the freeze on the Mine?

yes

Can freeze mine's "fake" damage crit? and if so what is its base crit% and will it work normally with crit multiplier? (If the fake damage can't crit you should totally change that ;P)

Also can freeze mine be paired with a trap support gem or the unique boots to then receive both trap and mine passive tree benefits to its "fake" damage?
