can anyone confirm this or could this possibly be a cheap way to boost dps?

That seems like a reasonable start. However, when I try to use the traps, i often end up doing less damage than if i just spammed arc. the reason is trap placement and trap delay. I can throw 3 traps, after that there's an 8 second recharge to get another one. Unless a mob steps on the trap, there's a delay before the trap goes off. So often i place traps, the mob wanders off and the trap goes off on nothing. then I spend time flitting around until the trap recharges and again throw a trap off into futility. Even when I do manage to hit something with trap damage, it does not seem to be doing significantly more than arc. It seems my time would have been better spent just hitting the arc button. Granted, i love putting the traps under a strongbox, activating it and dashing away, but clearly I'm not using it correctly on bosses and other large encounters.

One question...why would this not apply to those of us using lightning spire? Assuming we are still using storm brand, too, of course.

Didn't occur to me that you would do that, my thought process was you have one or the other(what do you drop to have both LST and SB?).
It's probably how i got the idea in the first place when i switched to SB as main skill and LST for single target, since i didn't need to apply shock with the trap EF was the clear winner in terms of dps vs most other gems i considered, though still less than conc effect and the specific trap/mine dmg ones mind you.

I dropped the second CWDT setup that had enfeeble. I thought this was the standard, though I guess I'm not really sure what everyone else does. My profile is public, though, so you can see how I have it arranged. Now that I'm used to playing with them, I can't imagine giving up arc, storm brand, or lightning spire trap. They all have different functions that they fulfill very efficiently. I just hope none of them are nerfed in the next league...

Is this any good / of value?

Couldn't find ANY like this on trade at all...

Synthesis looks like a good league for this build, huge selfcast rework incoming. There seems to be an arc selfcast example in the trailer video and I swear it's chaining faster than it used to?
