Notes:
Part of the Swarming Huntress Set.

This oppressive trap doesn’t explode on proximity like other traps, but constantly lets out “pulses” that slow and damage enemies that stand inside the radius of the trap. This trap has a very large radius, only being bettered by the Giant Catcher Trap, allowing effective control over large groups of enemies. The trap is best used as a swap-out in situations where your main concern is slowing large groups of enemies that wont leave the vicinity of the traps pulses too quickly.

It explodes upon impact & triggers a pulse every second for 6 seconds, which means this trap deals 1,050 damage in total, although the Cave Dweller Trap and the Trap of the Vile Spirit have more DPS as they can be spammed since they don’t have a cooldown. Additionally, enemy DEF is calculated for each pulse, meaning that this trap suffers from a great damage reduction against enemies with high defense, such as the Stone Guardians.

Do keep in mind the Honeytomb Snare has a very long cooldown and will prevent you from using any other traps for 6 seconds, meaning it is not a great trap to use in all situations unless you want to get the full Swarming Huntress Set bonuses.
