Why Should We Use Traps in Path of Exile

By Leo Jiang2018-02-08

Farming and Grinding is always a tedious task for many Path of Exile players. The main points to an efficient and successful grinding run are killing speed and survivability. PoE Traps can help relieve mobs as they approach your Exile to a large extent, and with enough testing and experimenting, kill some or most of them before they hit your Exile.

PoE Trap system is quite unique and different. Trap builds are popular in PoE Items, especially for the rare Exalted Orb. Your Exile can lay a maximum of three traps within her or his line of sight. The distance that you can throw the trap has a limit though. At first laid traps are visible but become invisible when they become armed. They are triggered when a monster enters the trigger radius (can be increased with modifiers through passive skills) and are destroyed after that.

 

There are Lightning and Fire Traps available to Exiles, but PoE has the Conversion and Bear Traps for added strategy. Bear traps functions are the same as its real life counterpart, they immobilize the unlucky monster for a period of time allowing the players to cut it down without any risk. On the other hand Conversion Traps allows you to control non-Unique bosses and monsters for a short period of time. They do not count as Minions while being affected by the trap.

Though you are not limited with the Trap types mentioned above, as PoE offers players to link any ranged attack or spell to the Trap Support gem. Instead of casting the attack or spell, the Trap Support gem allows you to throw the trap with the linked skill instead of the strategy.

 

Actually, some players have popularized certain Trap dedicated builds that are proven effective in farming bosses and such when you use PoE Currency. If you haven't decided to use traps in your offensive repertoire, it may be a good idea to begin now. For more poe news, you should visit MmoGah.com.
