Vaal Lightning Trap

  • The interaction between trap skills with cooldowns and sources of additional traps thrown (such as the Multiple Traps or Cluster Trap Supports) has been changed, and now work as they did with Vaal Lightning Trap previously. Namely, additional traps can only be thrown if the skill has at least one extra trap cooldown stockpiled, and only as many additional traps will be thrown as there are cooldowns stockpiled. In other words, if you have three Seismic Traps stockpiled and have the Shaper's additional trap glove mod, you'll throw two traps and consume two Seismic Trap cooldowns. If you only have two cooldowns stockpiled and attempt to throw three Seismic Traps via the Multitrap support, you will only throw two traps.

      Vaal Lightning Trap

      Vaal Lightning Trap is a Vaal skill. It creates a trap that launches a ring of projectiles when triggered. The projectiles pierce through all targets, dealing lightning damage and leaving behind a narrow trail of shocking ground for a duration.

      Skill Functions and Interactions

      • Chaining: Since Vaal Lightning Trap's projectiles always pierce, then they cannot chain, so supporting it with Chain Support will have no effect.

      • Multiple Traps: When Vaal Lightning Trap is linked with Multiple Traps Support or Cluster Traps Support, additional traps are only placed if Vaal Lightning Trap has sufficient souls to do so.

      • Duration: Increased Duration increases both the trap duration and the duration of the shocking ground effect.
