please don't nerf Arc Traps
Has anyone tried the Lightning Spire Trap? How is it compared to Arc trap especially on single target?

" Fully agree with Myth. I played both a self-cast arc witch and an arc trapper this league. Arc is in a good place, but paired with traps it's definitely OP. If we we not able to plonk down as many traps or if bosses would destroy traps before they activate, it would level the playing field quite well without killing arc. May your maps be bountiful, exile

" Its pretty exceptional single target but it just isn't worth throwing/linking them instead of just more Arc traps currently. |

Incursion - Saboture: - arc - 86% - vaal arc - 35% - glacial cascade - 7% Bestiary - Saboture: - glacial cascade - 90% - arc - 3% So, as you can see the problem is the buffed arc.

" The point you miss is that 99% of those 86% are arc trappers. "Yes, it is perfectly fair. It just sucks ass."

" Well, I actually played both styles and can say from experience that self-cast arc is nice, but certainly not OP. " Wouldn't you say reading some stats is more lazy than trying stuff out? Balancing-by-excel-sheet does not have a successful history in POE. May your maps be bountiful, exile

The fact that Arc was buffed is what caused it to become OP when used with traps but that doesn't mean Arc should be nerfed. Arc self-cast is pretty "meh". I played it as a league starter this league and I definitely don't think Arc is OP when self-cast. I didn't try it as a trapper but from the video's I've seen it's night and freaking day.

It's the trap shotgunning that is OP. Arc merely adds the convenience of auto aiming, guaranteeing every trap to hit, over Glacial Cascade, for example. If there will be a nerf, I am pretty sure the shotgun effect from both traps and mines will be nuked, at least from Mine Field and Cluster Trap.
