Bino's not interacting with Blade Trap

The on death effects of Bino's Kitchen Knife are not proccing when used as the weapons for blade trap. IDK if this is a bug or intended - the wording of the dagger may need to be updated if it's intended to not work.

Might not be a bug.

There is a long-running "bug" where any death by damage over time counts as the player's kill even if it is by proxy. Now, this might've been finally fixed after being left alone for years, or your traps might just be killing the enemies with hits, in which case, Bino's wouldn't proc, because those are your traps' kills, not yours.

In case the DoT bug hasn't been fixed, try using Southbound and you should be able to do it just fine.

It's been a bug so long that we consider it a feature now!

I was just about to post this as a bug too, and went to double check and saw someone beat me to the punch.

Edit: took me a while to notice, as I was also supporting the skill with Poison Blade Vortex.

Thanks for your report, I'll pass this on.

Can we get an update if this is an intended mechanic? As this is not even on the list of "known issues"

The current behaviour is intended.

This honestly just does not make any sense to what the skill does. Blade trap makes a copy of our Dagger and uses that in the trap. Therefore Bino's is still hitting the enemy and should have its poisons spread on an enemy dying due to a poison. With out this effect any player using this weapon in their set is taking a severe PDS drop instead of just using a half decent rolled rare.

At the end of the day Poison Blade Trap doesn't have anywhere near the numbers like the other 4 meta builds currently in the game. So changing a clear speed mechanic isn't going to make me want to play, as clear speed doesn't mean it can kill Sirus.

TLDR; Blade Trap uses 2 copies of our equipped weapon, why would a player chose bino's if its unique traits don't work for the inherent DPS loss.
