Actually they are Traps that cast a spell when triggered. So honestly I'm not sure. There are separate nodes in the tree for trap damage, so it would seem to me they do not benefit from spell damage. Why else would they have trap damage passives and not just spell damage passives? We know cast speed doesn't speed up the laying of the traps (separate passives for trap laying speed).

" Fire Damage passives / Fire Damage Spells. Same thing. Trap (Mine) Passives exist to give something specifically to Trap-users, and not to Spellcasters. It makes areas with both Spell and Trap Damage relatively more attractive to Trappers than to Spellcasters, and allows them to give stronger bonuses to Traps without influencing the damage output of other Skills. " Laying a Trap is not casting a Spell, and as such Increased Cast Speed doesn't affect it. Cast Speed does make the Trap activation quicker, because that's simply the Trap casting a specific Spell.

So vipermagi, your reply doesn't address the initial question. Do spell damage passives affect trap damage? Since it's the trap casting the spell and not you, it doesn't seem like they should.

Ninja Arab answered that: both Fire and Lightning Trap deal Spell Damage, Bear Trap does not. There's nothing more to add, so I just left it at that.
It's the Trap casting a Spell, using your stats. It works the same as a Spell Totem. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Nov 28, 2013, 9:53:46 PM
