Trapper

On the fire trap it says "increase all physical and elemental damage by x%" What does this exactly mean? For every skill? So it's like a synergy?

I don't have the game (yet), but I would assume it is a curse on enemies it hits.

A related question - is there anyway to see how much damage this skill deals?

[Quintessence]

The tooltip unfortunately does not show the damage this skill does, but it is basically an Inferno (D2) turret. It kicks much butt.

I think the +x% to all physical/magical damage is a passive bonus that the skill grants. At least that's what I assume since the turret doesn't do physical damage.

[EricKit]

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't see any damage increase in my character screen.

[Quintessence]

The one thing that's annoying about the turret is that against bosses it will SPAM "Glancing Blow". Devs should probabyl disable that in a future patch, or at least tone it down so it only displays the "Glancing Blow" message once every 5 seconds or something.

Does dex increase trap damage?

[Jerich]

I believe trap damage is linked to level not stats. The traps are good over all... I stopped using firetrap once I got flechette trap. Flechette trap did not give glancing blows as much. By end game I was using three traps... Flechette trap, Devouring Trap and Lightning Trap.

I haven't had a chance to use any traps yet because I am exploring most of the skills in the marksmen tree. But do those traps mentioned have good AOE attacks?

Has anyone compared traps to arrow hail?

I've been using arrow hail and have been completely annihilating everything.

Do you have mana issues at all?

At lvl 20 I have 105 Dex, 10 points into Ranged Mastery, 10 Points into Critical Strikes, 6 points into Flechette traps, and 5 points in improved pet and I absolutely destroy everything i run into on hard mode. Toss down the flechette, back up and start spamming Ricochet. I never run out of mana.

Yes I do, but since mana pots are so cheap it's really not a real issue.

I can use arrow hail about 5 times before completely running out of mana, but then I just pop a mana pot and I'm back in business
