Siphoning Trap + Multiple Traps Support

Multiple Traps Support does not effect Siphoning Trap in any way.
Further testing required to determinate whether the problem is ST or MTS gem.

[EDIT]
Siphoning Trap's description in the skill UI DOES change when paired with Multiple Traps Support: "throws up to three traps which use this skill when triggered".

Still, only one trap is always thrown.

Same issue here. The description of Siphoning Trap changes upon linking Multiple Traps Support.The mana cost also increases normally. But it still throws just 1 trap after all that.

i got this problem just with Mirror Arrow + Trap Support + Multiple Traps Support the skill UI does say it should throw 3 but it only throws 1 trap

Multiple and Cluster traps have been changed, they now consume charges of supported trap skills, in order to throw 3 traps with multiple traps you have to have 3 available trap uses.

Siphoning trap has only one use available. it can be supported by cluster/multiple traps but the only effect it inherits is reduced damage :P

Guess i oversaw that in the patch notes... well that ruined my planned starter build...

Why in the hell do they have cluster trap support in the game if you can still only throw 3 traps at the same time? (says you throw 4 at once, but only 3 come out)

Also, multiple trap support AND cluster trap support do not work at all with Siphoning Trap skill. Both of them show that they support the trap skill, but neither has any effect other than damage reduction of the trap. You get only 1 trap thrown per use .... throwing another Siphoning Trap destroys the first one. Wha???

Worse, the gem has the "Duration" tag, but gems that affect duration do not extend the duration of the trap. I linked Siphoning Trap to Increased Duration and Efficacy; the trap still only lasts 4 seconds.

Guess we can add this one to the list of completely worthless trash tier skill gems that nobody uses. Shame. It looked like an interesting skill.

[edit: this is what happens when you test skills in your hideout. In the wild, the trap gets triggered before it expires so duration of the trap itself is irrelevant. Both Efficacy and Increased Duration extend the duration of the beams created by the trap]

It does still have some use, but instead of more traps longer duration, you have to buff it's cold damage. Unfortunately, Added Cold Damage doesn't affect it, neither does any other added damage gem. Still pretty worthless past right about the time you can even start to use it. You can't use it until level 10 and by level 15 its worthless.

I wish, you could properly scale Siphoning Trap to the point, where you can use it as a main skill. I like the feel and look of this skill, but its damage sucks unfortunately.
GGG really doesn't like cold damage traps, Ice Trap cries in a corner for who knows how many leagues.

Ice trap + siphoning trap combo is decent but ST is rather utility skill.
