Trapper's Expertise

Increase the duration of boons and conditions applied by traps. Offensive traps inflict cripple.

 Cripple (3s): -50% Movement Speed

 Duration Increase: 60%

— In-game description

Notes

• The cripple the trait provides is not affected by the increased condition duration.
• Only the base durations are increased, thus not counting towards the maximum condition duration.
• The boon duration for Healing Spring is actually increased by 66% to 5 seconds.
• The condition duration for Flame Trap is actually increased by 66% to 4.15 seconds.

Bug:

Flame trap does not apply cripple even though it's properly listed on tool tip
