Zombies spawned from Mines also deal more Damage. That's because zombie damage is affected by the stats of the Zombie. The same is not true for totems. However, I am a fool, because it links the 'less damage' to the skill you are using too. So it would still affect the totem damage. My apologies...

I've done a really quick test, not sure how accurate it is... (just been watching the speed of health bars going down). But I'm fairly sure the 40% damage reduction DOESN'T apply to the burning damage effect of Fire Trap, only the initial fire damage is reduced. If someone can confirm this, that'd be most excellent.

Currently, 'Damage' and 'Damage over Time' are separate mechanics. Damage-specific modifiers do not apply to Damage over Time. One exception to this is Damage Taken, which applies to both Damage and Damage over Time.	Posted by Vipermagi on Sep 25, 2013, 7:42:54 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post
The bruning from fire trap doesn't stack, either, though. So it's not really as powerful as you think. One firetrap is probably enough.

The point is, fire trap supported with multiple traps covers in flames half of the screen. This is huge survivality and comfort boost http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/73928 <-- [Newbie Friendly] Marauder Melee Build IGN: NinjaArabStrategist	Posted by NinjaArabStrategist on Sep 26, 2013, 4:39:25 AM Quote this Post

Horizontal is only good if you're using it as a way to multicast your spells. So it's pretty obvious why they made it vertical. " Delirii wrote: " Does it work with the trap support gem? Does it work if the trap is linked to remote mine? Yes and Yes. This one is awesome combined with Conversion Trap. Excellent! Thanks for testing it. :) In that case, here are a couple more fun things to test: A) Can you use multiple traps to lay three totems? (40% less dmg won't affect the totems.) B) Can it be used to raise more totems or spectres than you'd normally be allowed? I guess I can agree with that in a sense but factoring mob packs or even flicker you would be more screwed that way unless you maybe had coversion traps also or if the totem questions you pose work, if that's the case I could cave in for it to stay vertical. Edit: Just tried to link multiple traps and spell totem and skeles did not work if that's what you are looking for.

Throwing near a wall OR CLIFF will prevent traps from being laid. You can no longer throw down cliffs or over obstacles when this support is equipped, seems like a bug.

They should have made them cluster instead of making them useless. Last edited by Sonnac on Sep 26, 2013, 10:25:19 AM	Posted by Sonnac on Sep 26, 2013, 10:22:38 AM Quote this Post
