What's wrong?

[NightyNight]

My Trapsin has +9 to all skills, all lit traps maxed (besides CBS that has 15),
and I deal only 1-4k dmg ! I'm very weak on hell! I mean, i barely get dmged there (lol I'm a tank) but i barely deal any dmg ! what is wrong? how did ppl achived 7k+ dmg?? oh btw, my friend did the same, only he maxed CBS, and reached 7k...i dont do that becuase it only adds 70-80 dmg per skill point, I am currently lvl 80, and i need 14 more skill points to max CBS, which will add a bonus of 1k...still only 5k...what can I do?

Skillers. It's also possible that the people who are quoting higher damage are using Facets/Griffon, which do nothing for traps (minions don't get the bonuses), despite the display bug in LCS.

It's called +skills. With +9 skills and max synergies you'll do 8-5002 dmg tops. For more dmg get more +skills , it's as simple as that.

Bah, I think it's too late to max CBS, I got only 7 skill points left to invest...I invested lots of skill points on FB...dumb me, i thought that 1500 dmg on a fast cast rate will matter...on 8 player games that's nothin...grrr

About the +skills items, I've got shako, a+2 to all skills armor, 4 to all skills from 2 bartuc's, 2 from amu...dunno if i can get anything else with+skills...

How much does a skiller worth??

my trapper has quite literally +22 to her trap skills (with only three gcs) and does a respectable 9+k

trappers (and other elemental reliant characters) live off of +to skills, simple as that

i just looked at the skill planner i have and a fully synergized trapasin with +14 to skills(2 bartucs, +2 armr, arach, shako, maras, 2 soj, anni) and 10 skillers does a max dmg of 11k. now this is some wat over done on the + skills its still possible to achieve 7 k.
