Shaper of Desolation (Elemental Conflux) interaction with Traps?

Hey so I've been planning to play an Elementalist Trapper in Ascendancy but I've heard that you can't gain Conflux as a trapper because the traps don't count as you killing the enemy. Just looking for any kind of confirmation to this.

The wording on Shaper of Desolation says "20% chance to gain Elemental Conflux when you Kill an Enemy"

Do traps not count as me killing an enemy?

They do not currently. However, word from GGG is that they want to make this work ASAP, so expect a change shortly after Ascendancy's release.

Im pretty sure it wont work currently. In a similar way, Elemental Overload cannot be triggered by traps critting, if you want to take advantage of it you have use something else.

Any source for this? If this is indeed true I'll go ahead with the build but I wanna be 100% sure before I commit to it.

Hmm. You know, I can't find the source now. I guess I'd be slightly wary of my comment in that case, unless/until someone else can chime in. It wouldn't be totally unprecedented for me to have a PoE-related dream, although this would be a pretty specific one.

I hope you're correct. I guess I'll just take Paragon of Calamity for now and respec if they change it. Shaper of Desolation was never gonna make or break the build anyway, it just woulda been a nice bonus.
