@QA: bear trap buff, I hope you are ready for it.

Few weeks ago @HArley on reddit posted a video of bear trap 1 shooting shaper. At that time you changed the cooldown of traps because of this sole video.

Now few weeks after you are thinking to change bear trap again, to buff it so it can apply increased damage taken from traps?

Mark my word GGG, your QA team will again get shamed if you do not think this before releasing the patch. I can see uber elder getting 1 shot by bear trap with your new buff.

Are you aware bear trap used with jewels Hair Trigger can send flying with high aoe radius 5-10 traps in boss/players faces at once, one shooting them already?

You know with the introduction of stat stick and the use of phy to elem conversion bear trap have one of the higher single target damage in the game?

So either you plan to nerf hair-trigger with the release of this patch or be prepared to have to nerf this bear trap AGAIN once the first uber kill videos with new bear trap are released.


Please GGG, we already mentioned bear trap+ air trigger + elem conversion+pen/crit for years in feedback forum. You can already 1 shot shaper with it.

Shit is already broken and you want to buff it :/


So my humble opinion, put limit to air trigger or lower bear trap damage if not your next trap release will get some "1000 hours" meme pretty quick.

"The most crucial part about this build are these jewels:

You will want at least 6 of these, preferably nearly perfect ones. These make it so that your bear traps become sort of homing missiles. My char has 273% trap trigger radius as an example."

The more expensive (hard to get is a better definition I guess, I paid 4ex for mine) option is to use a sceptre like this

in combination with a 1 chaos chernobog and a saffel (ideally you would want both with dmg taken gained as mana corrupts)

The helm is essential. You really need the bear trap enchant in it. Mine cost 15c in phc iirc.

Nobody cares.

Except you.

Several builds are as powerful you going to cry about those too? Awww =(

thanks for the bump. <3

You should thanks me for the info, after all you waited way too long before using zerphi, You should trust your fellow forum posters when they tell you something broken.

I hope this time you will try this one before everyone else jump on it. After all, your skillz in this game is all about playing broken shit <3

Git gud, play broken shit.

Actually because of stuff like the phys damage as ele stat sticks, you can reach pretty absurd damage with physical spells, which includes bear trap.

They might need to consider this for balance purposes, not just for bear trap, but ALL physical damage sources, or IMO, nerf the value of these rolls in half (at min)

We're gonna need to replace the skin entirely.

- Bear Trap damage increased by about 433.6% at gem level 20.
- Bear Trap cooldown removed.
- Admiral Ackbar Bear Trap Effect now added to the store. This is not a trap.
- Bear Trap now only works on bears, as originally intended.

Its pretty much impossible to get enough damage on bear trap to even complete the acts

It is a good point, Bear trap is not a clearing skill! It is only a boss killer and that at high level but GGG were also mentioning the boss aspect of the skill.


My point was not related to leveling or clear speed mapping tho but more about the boss killer aspect of bear trap at high level.


"The trap still does massive damage to the target triggering it. These two effects should make it a powerful tool for taking on bosses."

Seem to imply GGG is making the changes so bear trap become good tool against bosses.

I am here to tell GGG that it is already a good tool and they will just make it super op if they boost the dps.

Not sure if they are aware of their own skill power or if they think it need to be easier to obtain (no need conversion to be op is that their goal?).

I don t think buffing bear trap dps aspect is needed imo.

The majority > Your opinion.
