the ting with the max 3link should be confrimed,it seems strange to me since there are 7links ingame (BoR or Marohi Erqi)
i see where/why you get the idea of 3links at max (the itemlink and the slots it uses in the inventory are kinda strange too)
especialy for an EE+EB trapper this staff can be very powerfull (there arnt any 2h weapons with life mods on them if i remember correctly and the increased mana can be stronger than notable passivs)
and 50% increased dmg for all traps isnt much weaker than the 90% fire/spelldmg you would get from searing (as lnog as you dont focus on firetrap/burning dmg as main dmg source ofc)
Thing is, when you run a trap-spell setup, you're going to want to have elemental penetration gem. And probaby added elemental damage too. So for, lets say lightning warp, you're going to go trap - multitrap - LW - light pen. Maybe added lightning now that it's been buffed. That's 2 or 3 gems at least that benefit a lot from +2 gem levels, which you can get on a rare staff, on top of 100+ spell damage, a mana roll, crit for spells, etc.
I'd say this new unique staff is pretty bad for trappers compared to rare staves.
i never meant that this staff is meant to be Bis or somthing like that
it would have ben an intrestingoption if it could be 6socketed/linked
and its very strong for leveling (end cruel/start merci)
even searing touch isnt best in slot (you could still roll a staff with +2fire gems +1 gem level + highest spell dmg + highest spell/mana hybrid + castspeed)
but even farming endgame its every unlikely to get such as staff
its an affordable good solution for early-start of merci
that makes it even with its 3sockted limitaion (coldsnap added cold ele prof is a very strong combi for that staff) a very good balanced unique
