Bear Trap

Bear Trap throws a trap that deals physical damage to the enemy that triggered it and applies a debuff that greatly reduces movement speed and causes them to take increased damage from traps and mines.

Skill functions and interactions

 * Secondary damage: Bear Traps deals secondary damage. It doesn't benefit from modifiers to spells and attacks, and therefore cannot be blocked/spell blocked or dodged/spell dodged.


 * Duration: The base duration of the immobilization effect is 150ms per % of enemy max life dealt as damage, to a maximum of 1/3 of max life. Modifiers to skill duration alter both the lifetime of the trap and the duration of the immobilization. This immobilization is not considered a stun, and will not interact with modifiers that affect stuns.
