Nice, it would give me an excuse to use the 3 procs of Frozen Trap!

[CarnivorousDeathParrot.2]

Today, over lunch, I did some math on the phone calculator to look at damage in 1 and 3 seconds and adjusted the set. An Excel model is ideal for this. These are some conclusions:

• The "full package" set has been calibrated to be on par with Havoc but this parity is uncertain. It would take some time for Molten Belt to catch up but high TL boss fights are long. Other elements are the blast radius of the explosive (should probably be the no less than Frozen Trap) and how each build would handle the mob phase.

• . . .similar parity and calibration issue between a +Physical dmg vs +Ice dmg build. Assuming Lethal Shot, the first Shatter boost is a very big component of the total damage. The haste boost itself and the choice of BoM make it likely that a physical dmg build will be at least as good.

• With all boosts, Frozen Trap still contributes little damage and risks being replaced by general buffs like SS. It is to be seen how a fully boosted FT helps with control and speeding up the mob phase. Otherwise, the set would have to enhance it even more or the entire skill would have to be fixed in an update.

• Possible variants: 2-Cryo 4-Demo, Molten Belt, Physical dmg, 2-Assault 4-Cryo, Hail, Igniters, Tesla. . .
