Shockwave Trap is a utility trap of the Hunter class that drains the SP of enemies caught in its blast.
Overview
Shockwave Trap deals no HP damage. Instead it removes a large portion of the victim's SP, making it a strong disruption tool against casters and SP-reliant classes.
Mechanics
The trap arms on the ground and triggers when an enemy enters its cell, draining SP from everything in a 5x5 splash before breaking. The amount of SP removed grows with the drain duration, which lengthens with skill level (from 3.5 seconds at level 1 up to 7.5 seconds at level 5). The trap itself stays armed longer at lower levels.
Because it targets SP rather than HP, it does nothing to a target with no SP pool, but it can completely empty a fragile caster. Each cast consumes two Traps.
Leveling
Higher levels increase the drain duration and shorten the armed lifetime. SP cost is a flat 45.
| Level | Drain duration | Trap lifetime | SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.5s | 200s | 45 |
| 2 | 4.5s | 160s | 45 |
| 3 | 5.5s | 120s | 45 |
| 4 | 6.5s | 80s | 45 |
| 5 | 7.5s | 40s | 45 |
Requirements
Consumes 2 Traps per cast.
Notes
Shockwave Trap is primarily a PvP and WoE tool used to starve enemy casters of SP. It requires Freezing Trap level 1 to learn.
