Does Sunblast + Reduced Duration mean Traps proc instantly?

80% global reduced trap duration from Sunblast

20+ reduced duration for the gem linked to Trap - Fireball

What happens?

Yes.

You throw the trap and it instantly activates, attacking the nearest target if there is one, otherwise pointing in a random direction (by attacking at its "feet"). Most useful with Lightning Warp traps, since they get Reduced Duration for free just by leveling the gem.

We can get teleporting traps? O_o

Yeah. The trap goes up into the air (does an AoE lightning damage when it leaves) and comes back down onto the ground (does an AoE lightning damage when it lands).

It's quite effective.

Real cheap build too: Sunblast, Deerstalkers with LW + LightPen + AoE + Multitrap (5L with trap). Easily clears through low and medium maps, immune to reflect. You just have to deal with the normal trap problems -- a little too close to the enemies, no good way to leech, occasionally get stuck with no traps available so you run around until they recharge.

I've heard Ice Nova is pretty nice with instant traps, too. Nice large AoE that's no longer centering on yourself.

If we're listing good trap partners...
- Blink/Mirror for summoning dudes (see sig). Lots of fun, kinda wacky overall.
- Cold Snap for lots of freezing damage and bypassing its cooldown.
- Ice Nova for sure, push the PBAoE out to not point blank.
- LW, as described. Starts reliably hitting twice (doubles the damage) and character not in melee.
- Vaal Spark/Fireball, absolutely brutal damage against whole rooms and bosses.
- Flame Surge Trap, character not in melee and huge synergy with Fire Trap.

This sounds amazing as fuck.

Cant wait to try lightning warping traps :P
sounds like they might get destroyed a lot though, so its a good idea to get Clever construction right?

I was wandering what's the best way to play mirror/blink traps, maybe trying it as necro would be better than saboteur to scale damage.

Since they trigger instantly (with reduced duration and sunblast), Clever Construction is not necessary at all.
