Traps...

[.//Sora]

I love the things with my assassin, I'm basically going for +skill and cast speed items now, I can just throw 3 down (0 recharge), run around a bit, let them take some damage then rush in with a warwind + mandrake, smoke bomb and pretty much have me + traps finish everything off while they're fumbling around, however...

Is there any way, whatsoever, to lay more than 3 traps at a time? Also, do any items that effect MY piercing damage (+X% piercing damage), also effect the traps?

Traps are essentially pets so nothing affects them except skills with auras. (Earth Enchantment, Art of the Hunt, etc..)

A good way to improve their effectiveness is to equip items or relics that lower monster resistence, or use skills such as study prey or squall.

Brigands, as usual, do the best damage. Since traps are pets that do pure piercing damage, Art of the Hunt increases their damage and adds normal damage against beast[men], Call of theHunt increases attack speed and piercing damage and damage against beast[men], and Study Prey lowers monster resistance, making a big difference.

The only items that will increase your trap damage are +skills items.
