voltaxic burst and trap (or mine)

Hi, does anyone know how voltaxic burst will interact with traps and mines? It doesnt say that it can't be used with them but it mention giving you a buff so will the buff go to you or to the trap?

I'm not sure enough to bet dollars for dattles on this, but I would say that the buff goes to your traps. I'm just not sure what exactly will happen, since the trap kills itself while casting the spell.

what buff? The gem does not mention any buff

Okay, maybe I've used the wrong wording here. As first I would expect that the Voltaxic Burst appears at the place, the casting object (in your case, your traps/mines) appears, in stead of switching to the player, if any non-player object (mines, traps, totems) casts this.

The only thing that's questionable for me right now is, what happends if the object that casts the spell dies, before the duration is over:
a) it sticks to the ground at the last location (which means the skill would work as any other skill put into a trap/mine)
b) the voltaxic burst disappears with together with the casting object (which would make it useless for traps/mines and questionable for totems)

yes, the delay can be the only problem I can think of, because the entity no longer exists at the time the effect goes off

unfortunately, we dont have any similar delayed skill in game yet, so it is hard to predict its behavior. Storm call has a delay but it also sets a marker on the ground.

Maybe it also has some marker, to make it work with traps/mines. Maybe they would mention on the gem that it does not work with traps and mines.. Im afraid you have to wait for the ingame test..

the buff thing seems to not be in the gem description (or not anymore) but the description on reddit and on some video was: grants a stackable buff that counts down to zero, which causes an AOE of Lightning damage converted to Chaos damage. Enemies killed by, or killed shortly after being hit by, the explosion also explode doing Lightning damage converted to Chaos damage. Modifiable by duration.

Maybe it was changed for clarity but the description on the gem (which i am pretty sure is new frankly) seems to imply it will work with traps and mines, but ill try it on a standard dude before anything else just to be sure
