Notes
Part of the Agents of Oryx Abilities.

While this trap’s inability to be thrown limits its usage greatly, its instant deployment makes it useful for when a normal trap’s deploy time would hinder its user. Not only does it inflict very high damage in a wide range, with a 50% chance to more than double its damage to 1,450 by inflicting damage over time, the traps from this item last for a long time. Its short range hinders it, but it remains an effective tool for instant AoE damage if you are able to get within trigger distance.

It’s quite useful as a “get off me” button if you are being chased by hordes of enemies, although a brief cooldown renders it unable to be spammed.

History
