What Passives Increase Trap Elemental Damage?

Does a passive like Increase Fire Damage With Weapons affect Fire Trap?

The red gem in my shield works.

Hmmm thanks. That seems to indicate "weapon" includes traps.

That could be the reason why the Fire trap is so effective on my Elemental weapon templar o.O

I haven't even though about checking the damage of the trap after i took additional ele. dam. nodes, i'll definatly do that when the next patch comes (since it'll give a skill reset) :)

I don't see any effect on Fire Trap from any source of weapon elemental damage, be it from the support gem or passives, on 0.9.10 alpha.

As far as I know, traps are considered a special class of spells. They'll gain damage from normal elemental and spell damage supports and passives, but not weapon damage sources.

I'd like to correct my previous post - it does not have an effect on traps. I'm stupid for not actually noticing that, my bad.

Can the same scaling be said for totems and mines?

Thanks!

I just found out the Fire Trap did not benefit from +60% Weapon Elemental Damage.

But the skill did get a nice little boost in 0.9.10 :)

Fire trap's effect is spell damage, and is affected by all relevant increases to such.

Bear trap deals non-spell, non-weapon damage. If you add elemental damage to it, it will be increased by elemental damage increases, but not anything specific to spells, or to attacks.

Fire trap's damage values definetly don't get increased by spell damage. When I remove my wand with 48% spell damage, fire trap's damage stays unaffected. Fire damage and elemental damage seem to work though.

Edit: It actually works in "C" stats but not when you hover over skill icon bottom right. For my other skills it shows same damage value there and "C" stats, but not for fire trap. So it's just an inconsistency issue.
