Name	Show Full Descriptions
Trap and Mine Damage Support	Grants more damage to your Explosive Trap. It also adds a small penalty to trap throwing speed.
Cluster Traps Support	Allows you to throw 2 additional Explosive Traps at once.
Charged Traps Support	Grants a chance to gain frenzy and power charges when your Explosive Trap is triggered by enemies. It also grants increased trap throwing speed per frenzy charge and increased critical strike multiplier per power charge.
Controlled Destruction Support	Grants more spell damage to Explosive Trap but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage not contingent on critical strikes.
Elemental Focus Support	Removes the ability for Explosive Trap to inflict elemental ailments, such as ignite, on enemies. However, it significantly increases the amount of elemental damage Explosive Trap does. Converting all physical damage from Explosive Trap to elemental damage maximizes the benefit this support provides.
Physical to Lightning Support	Converts 50% of Explosive Trap's physical damage to lightning damage, as well as providing extra lightning damage based on your physical damage.
