What the **** does ''Clever Construction'' do?

It's not really useful for Traps.
It's VERY useful for Mines.

Here's the scenario without Clever Construction:
- Drop FreezeMine/Damage Mine
- Goatman leaps onto your face
- Goatman's leap slam aoe destroys the mine
- Try to drop another mine
- Ten more goatmen leap on your face
- They destroy the new mine
- Repeat until you are dead

Here's the scenario with Clever Construction:
- Drop FreezeMine/Damage Mine
- Goatman leaps onto your face
- You detonate the mine

Goatmen are the worst offenders.
Arc mages destroy mines very easily as well.

Traps can be destroyed, that is more of a pvp notable I think.


Incorrect. It is useful in all situations where enemies do any form of area damage.

Traps can be killed the moment they set, long before they trigger or you detonate any mines.

In my opinion, it's the single best notable for Traps in the game.


Yeah I agree. I use traps a lot for leveling or in races and they get destroyed a whole lot. I would imagine it's pretty useful. You can just throw more traps, but it's still cool.

Wrong. The Arc cast by the Battlemages prove that it is just as valuable for traps.
Any AOE attack from a mob can kill your trap.

Ground slam from Brutus is an example.
I'm so nooby, I didn't even know/notice they got destroyed. Have never had an issue with my traps not hitting. BUT I did pick up this node after reading this thread, tyvm :D
If you don't have anything nice to say, zip your lip!!!
