I have a few questions surrounding my new Firebird build ( 6 set firebird bonus ). I recently decided to start using a legendary gem, Bane of the Trapped to be specific and to do that, I rolled a socket into a Stone of Jordan and used that instead of my existing trifecta ring.
Before ( using puzzle ring with 6% CC, 48% CD, 7% AS )
1. Does the bane of the trapped damage apply multiplicatively after I have cast say, frost nova ? Will it give me Elemental DPS : 1595x1.185 =1890k , Elite DPS 2009 x1.185 = 2380K
2. Does bane of the trapped give me a DPS boost on monsters controlled by spells cast by other players or only my own spells ?
3. After briefly trying this new setup, it did not feel it was any better than before although the numbers suggest it should be. Is this the way to go for Grifts ? What percentage of monsters are Elites ?
My build in particular has many items which boost fireskills. In total, there is currently a +75% boost to fireskills.
If I understand correctly, the 18.5% boost will be added to my affixes, therefore in the case of my fireskill boost, it will give 93.5% ( 75 + 18.5 )
When I was fighting using my puzzle ring, a single explosive blast was giving a max observed crit of 20 million. After switching to the SoJ with gem, the highest crit I saw was 19.6 Million. As my SoJ has no CD, I am losing the crit 48% damage overall but I was thinking all the other SOJ boosts would not only make up for it, but overwhelm it. On paper its far better but what I am seeing indicates it's not. Sigh
2: Both. It doesn't matter who CC'd them. "Increase damage against enemies under the effects of control-impairing effects". Doesn't say it have to be your CC effect.

Let me upgrade it to rank 25. It's secondary effect SHOULD proc itself. If not, look out for my next post using lots of not so nice words.
