Seismic trap feels inconsistent. Any suggestions to make it feel better?
|
Hello first time trying this trap.
Maybe any trapper here which could give some suggestions. I noticed after tring it that the damage, or for using a better term "hit chance", is very inconsistent. I tried a few traps in the past or mines but this one feels very lackluster in terms of damage coverage. It has a deadzone in the middle and the AOE zones are randomly distributed around the middle pillar. How do people get around this to make the damage more consistent. Scaling AOE i assume for more overlap , more throwing speed so the RNG AOE zones cylce more etc?

It blows up bosses like crazy for me.

Seismic trap is for bossing. Exsanguinate is for clearing.

" Interesting. You go the poison approach. Can you maybe record a clip where you blow a few bosses up? Also how did the targeting of Seismic Trap felt like during leveling with less AOE & cast speed? " Maybe it was not clear but i'm not asking for what it is used but for tips going around the weird targeting of Seismic Trap that tends to miss a lot.

Cast speed does nothing for Traps/Mines, you need Trap throwing speed.
I drop 4 Seismic traps around a boss and boom. I haven't noticed a dead zone in the middle frankly. ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.

"  I talking about this empty space in the middle where no damage is dealt. When you throw all your traps at the boss he is most likely in the middle and only a few "waves" hit him or none depending on the size of the hitbox. For example i melted Kitava A5 but had a hard time hitting Innocence since he was fast and has a small hitbox. Will test if throwing traps in a different pattern will make it feel better with my current AOE.

I literally drop all 4 traps in the same small area, not spread out as per your picture.
Any boss that moves is trickier, I just throw more traps :) ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
