How well does lightning trap scale late game?

Does it fall off pretty hard? Normal and Cruel have been a cakewalk with just chain+lightning penetration.

What is your dps? Someone on my friend list said he had 3300 in Merc I think.
Meanwhile my witch in Cruel only has 120...but she is a summoner.

I'm only level 43, my dps is like 100 or something? Its completely inaccurate as I pretty much 1 or 2 shot everything.

i think its best used for aoe shock (ele prolif)

Not sure how well exactly it scales since my trapper is more based around fire traps, but I will say this. Ive found EE to be a pretty significant increase in damage and very easy to utilize for trappers. I use firetrap, lightning trap, and cold snap with a trap support. Just rotate between the three and things are constantly burned/shocked/frozen and gives you great damage without having the highest dps. I also use ele weakness curse.

I say this because I've found in the higher end stuff that 3 traps (or 3 sets of 3 with multi traps) can sometimes not be enough to clear a room even if you are doing good damage. Especially when there's high concentrations of enemies. So if you rely solely on 1 trap for your damage chances are you'll end up running around a bit waiting for another trap to be available. So unless you have a backup spell I wouldn't totally rely on the 1 trap alone. When you are clearing through maps quickly those 3 charges can disappear very fast, and its no fun waiting for more traps.

Ya I fully agree T3hswagman. I am running multitrap with cold snap/trap/ele prolif. This freezes everything while I decide between fire trap, bear trap, or lightning trap.

While in groups, i pretty much only throw the cold snap trap. I also have EB and clarity, so I have pretty quick mana regen and a good size pool.
