Rest in peace my beautiful Arc Trap

It's designed so Arc Trap can no longer screen-clear, while self cast Arc still potentially can.
It's a clever kind of nerf to fit the new self cast philosophy.

To be fair I knew a nerf was coming, but I thought they will just murder the Trap support.
This is surprisingly clever.

Think about it.

The initial cast has no new chain limit, so lets assume a screen with 2 packs on it.

1) run between them and bundle them together + trap them all.

2) throw trap in between them and use sabo trigger to proq all.

In situation 2 the traps can still use their initial cast to reach both packs, arguably it will sometimes faill and become less efficient.

And yes clearing up to 3 screens will no longer be possible.(i played it, it was stupendous and hilarious at the same time when comparing it with other skills :p)

Personally i would use strategy 1 with sabo since you have blind aura and the play-style allows for it.(if your ehp is covered and you can do it)
Early on with low gear it will mean throwing a bit more traps though.

Bassicaly what i see is more strategical placement of traps and the inability to clear multiple screens at once, though a full screen still seems entirely plausible to me if played accurately.

Peace,
