Skill Identity

Siphoning Trap of Pain là transfigured variant của Siphoning Trap gốc. Bản gốc là một utility/hybrid skill — vừa gây cold DoT vừa hồi life/mana. Version này loại bỏ hoàn toàn phần recovery để tập trung vào pure damage:

Original Siphoning Trap:
- Beams attach to up to 10 enemies
- Enemies take cold DoT + chill
- Player/Allies RECOVER life and mana from beams
- Utility + damage hybrid

Siphoning Trap of Pain:
- Beams attach to up to 15 enemies (+50% coverage)
- Higher cold damage output
- NO life/mana recovery
- Pure offensive cold DoT

Design Philosophy: "Pain" trong tên phản ánh rõ — bỏ đi phần "Siphoning" (hút life/mana về), chỉ giữ lại nỗi đau gây ra cho enemies.

How It Works

Core Mechanic

Skill Description:

Throws a trap that, when triggered, attaches cold beams to up to 15 nearby enemies. The beams chill and deal cold damage over time to enemies. Does not grant life or mana recovery.

Mechanism Breakdown:

1. Throw Trap: Cast → bẫy bay ra, rơi xuống đất
2. Trigger: Enemy bước vào → bẫy kích hoạt
3. Beams Attach: Lên tới 15 enemies gần nhất nhận beam
4. Cold DoT: Enemies bị beam chịu cold damage over time
5. Chill: Beams áp dụng chill effect — slow movement
6. Duration: Beams duy trì trong X giây trước khi bẫy hết tác dụng

Key Differences vs Base Siphoning Trap

Beam Count — Key Advantage

15 beams vs 10 là sự khác biệt quan trọng trong end-game content:

Dense Pack Scenario:
Base Siphoning Trap: 10/20 enemies hit → 50% coverage
Siphoning Trap of Pain: 15/20 enemies hit → 75% coverage

Boss + Adds Scenario:
Base: 10 beams, split between boss + adds
Pain: 15 beams → more simultaneous damage across all targets

Practical Benefit: Trong Simulacrum, Delve, và dense map content, 15 beams cover significantly more enemies → higher total DPS throughput.

Scaling Vectors

Primary Scaling

1. Cold Damage / Cold DoT Multiplier
   • Chilling Presence notable (cluster jewel)
   • Cold DoT multi từ Occultist/Elementalist
   • Coldpoint, Atziri's Rule (unique jewels nếu applicable)
2. Trap Throwing Speed
   • Nhanh hơn = uptime tốt hơn
   • Trap Throwing Speed nodes trên tree (Saboteur area)
   • Swift Assembly support
3. Trap Trigger Radius
   • Lớn hơn = dễ trigger hơn, bao phủ group tốt hơn
   • Trap and Mine Damage support có trigger radius bonus
4. Duration
   • Longer active beams = more total DoT damage
   • Duration nodes, Temporal Chains
5. Chill Effectiveness
   • Sâu hơn = enemies chậm hơn = trapped longer
   • Hypothermia, Elementalist Shaper of Winter

Trap vs Direct Damage Scaling

Trap Skills scale with:
✅ Trap Damage (prefix on tree/gear)
✅ Trap Throwing Speed
✅ Trap Trigger Radius
✅ Cold Damage
✅ DoT Multiplier
✅ Spell Damage (affects base)

Does NOT scale with:
❌ Cast Speed (trap thrown, not cast-on-use)
❌ Projectile speed
❌ Attack speed

Best Use Cases

Strengths

• Dense Content: 15 beams — Simulacrum waves, Delve, Legion
• Multi-Target Bossing: Boss + adds scenarios, vaal areas
• Cold DoT Builds: Pure cold DoT Saboteur/Occultist wanting single-button AoE
• No Recovery Needed: Builds với tốt Life/ES sustain khác (Occultist ES, Ghost Reaver) không cần base version's recovery
• Chill Utility: AoE chill giúp slow entire packs

Weaknesses

• No Recovery: Mất hoàn toàn life/mana sustain từ base version — cần alternative sustain
• Single Target: 15 beams trên 1 boss không better hơn 10 beams trên 1 boss
• Setup Required: Trap throw → wait for trigger → beams — không instant như direct spells
• Trap Can Miss: Enemies phải trigger trap; positioning matters
• Cold DoT Niche: Kém popular hơn fire DoT trong general meta

Recommended Builds

Best Fit:
- Saboteur Cold DoT Trap (primary damage source)
- Occultist Cold DoT (không cần life recovery từ gem)
- Hybrid trap builds với strong sustain elsewhere

Avoid If:
- Bạn cần life/mana recovery từ base Siphoning Trap
- Playing solo tank build relying on the siphon
- Single target only content (base version equal or better)

• Pyromaniac: Life/ES regen when traps triggered — compensates lost recovery
• Chain Reaction: Trap triggers nearby traps — massive area coverage
• Explosives Expert: More damage + non-ailment chaos damage (minor benefit)

Occultist (Alternative)

• Void Beacon: Cold resistance reduction
• Frigid Wake: Chill effectiveness scaling
• ES-based sustain replaces lost life recovery naturally
• Profane Bloom: Explosion clear (minor synergy)
