Fire Trap
|
The sockets don't have to be linked for that to happen. When an item changes (gem levels up, unsocket a gem), the engine has to re-equip the item. For a fraction of a second, you lose the Fire trap gem, causing it to reset.

I read the thread, but I'm still unsure- there is XXX fire damage per second (from ground)- do 'burning damage' passives (like pyromaniac) affect this degeneration dmg? (assuming that monster is not ignited)

" It resets when any linked gems level... levelling gems in other items have no impact on the reset counter. Basically, I've noticed it resets when: - entering a new area. - when the Fire Trap gem levels. - when linked gems (normally linked passive gems... not sure about linked normal gems) level. - when changing/swapping FT gems or linked passives. I've been playing (before the reset) with a Fire Trap, Flame Totem + Molten Shield build SHADOW... and for the most part is pretty good. A bit squishy now I'm in MERC, but plenty of levels to build up my health and defence. My FT does about 1,900 dps on the tooltip. BUILD

So many times it doesn't drop where I click: especially when using the Cursor + QWERT combos. It is very poor indoors and tight areas, often traps are misplaced or simply not dropped (probably a collision issue if it thinks I'm dropping them on a wall etc).

It seems to me that Vulnerability does not increase the damage over time of fire trap. Can anyone help confirm this ?

"There does appear to be a problem with this currently. I've made a note to investigate when I have time and fix it up. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. | |

Can we get a general does and does not affect trap? Like Spell, elemental, *Doubful of weapon elemental*, and other such items. I'm a bit new and trying to make a trap and totem character and choosing nodes is very difficult because I can't tell if its going to help me or be completely useless.

I learned passive " 5% increase elemental damage" but nothing changes...whY?
But this skill have bonus from spell damage. Last edited by askael on Dec 13, 2012, 2:19:58 AM

"The most likely explanation is that the base damage on your gem is low enough, and you have enough % increased damage already applying, that getting another 5% increase wasn't enough to add a whole point of damage. With a low level fire trap gem, this is quite possible. But as you get more elemental damage bonuses (and other applicable bonuses, they'll continue to stack until they have a noticable effect).

Does the increased burn damage from gem quality also increase ignite damage caused by the initial hit?

Yes, if it ignites something.
