I am wary to add a section about the effect's of the radii changes on single-target damage given it's not even out yet: But I ran the math on the much larger secondary radius vs. slightly larger smaller explosion radius and it's pretty ugly. This version has 30%-40% less overlap capability than normal Explosive Trap; which translates to a loss of ~50% *DPS multiplier*. That 20% more damage effectiveness is going to have to do some very *very* heavy lifting otherwise the base version just has much better single target DPS. I also did the calculus on the new 30% reduced to 30% increased random secondary radius and like most radius effects it add weird breakpoints in whether increased AoE modifiers help or hurt but doesn't change much in aggregate, very slightly biased worse on average.
