Blade Trap is a trap attack skill gem.

Skill functions and interactions

• Weapon Stats: It uses weapon stats, however, it ignores attack speed.
• Area of Effect: Determined by the base radius of the skill itself, does not scale with default weapon range nor melee strike range increases.
• Hit Rate: Each rotation hits two times per rotation for a total of 8 hits by default or 10 while dual wielding. Legacy helmet enchantment can increase this by one for a total of 12 hits per trap.
• Accuracy: Since this skill is considered an attack, it is affected by accuracy and therefore needs to be able to hit consistently.
• MTX: Weapon effects affect the visual on this skill.
