I'm at 126 now and this is one of the first Chars for me who can easily do almost every boss first try. farming seems a pain right now, and i want to get to at least 130 to try out my +39%SD

what i don't get is the damage from shockwave trap, it seems lower than my calculations suggest.
Together with a smaxed Catalyst Trap this should look like this:
5,5k phys + (2*5,3k lightn.)=16,1k *3,9 (390% cat trap)= 62,8ktotal this seems a lot (given a lot of end game gear and trophies missing)
so what makes this build suck at farming? is there a hit delay on the trap? is it the damage radius?
from my experience, the playstyle for farming feels like a kiting ranged/caster char, even with 10s catalyst its like you place it, set traps, kill mob, and then while waiting you can run around and lure a second/third mob into the trap. most other builds can at some point stop doing this as their damage output increases, but this build is forced to continue playing like this, putting a hard time limit on killspeed. what might be an option is not to give it more specific items like

Tinker's Gambit
(have yet to find that one) or buffing them, but to put some end level scaling on the traps, like shorter catalyst timer from base level 26-30 or increased range, as you will naturally use specialization at this moment anyway. what do you think?Tinker's Gambit

Also: Am i misremembering or is this build based on attack speed rather than cast speed? from my perspective, it doesn't really matter though cause arming time.
