Also can u set off ur own trap?

They r very powerful + effective?
You can only set traps when no enemies are around (you can set traps as long as they're neutral i.e. blue circle)
you cannot set off your own trap, only enemies can
almost no enemy is immune to trap damage and the dmg they do is pretty amazing
also time traps are a really nice toy

ok, if you're thief is BLIND, not only is your sight radius dropped to nothing, but enemy sight radius is dropped to nothing too...so you can sneak up a blind thief close to enemy, and set up traps...

ascention enemies are almost immune to spike traps...the few times i tried multiple spikes against the five they took like 4 damage...WTF???

time traps should only be cast by jan...or a high level assassin...timestop traps are best used to allow your thief mage to then cast his/her own timestop without interruption, or for a high level backstab attempt...automatic hit when attacking melee under timestop...

no one ever uses explosive traps..underappreciated...

the knockback effect is quite good, and in theory, you can set up an explosive trap to knock back an enemy among more traps or skull traps or delay blast fireballs...would be funnier than crap!!!
