Fire Trap throws a trap that explodes when triggered, leaving an area of burning ground that damages enemies who walk through it.

Skill Functions and Interactions

  • Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this skill's Damage Over Time Effect: Modifiers to spell damage only affect the damage over time effect of Fire Trap granted by the gem and do not affect other sources of damage over time which may be applied by the skill, such as ignite or Decay Support.
  • Burning Ground Effect: The burning area left behind after a Fire Trap explosion does not act like other burning damage. It will do fire-based health degeneration damage simultaneously with other burning damage for as long as an enemy is within the radius of the Fire Trap. Once an enemy leaves the area, they will stop taking damage from Fire Trap. Trap, fire, area, spell and elemental damage passives will increase the damage of both the initial explosion and the damage over time. Burning damage passives will only increase the DoT. This damage over time does not stack with itself.
  • Duration: Skill duration passives and the Increased Duration Support gem will increase the duration of the burning ground effect, but not the duration before the trap expires.
