Painful Trap is an active skill that used by Sorcerers.

Painful Trap can be performed with a disc by the Sorcerer to set an exploding trap. The Sorcerer has the option to lure mobs into the trap, or cast the trap onto mobs standing close together. Trap explodes instantly as it touches opponent. Trap can be used as low damage filler while sorcerer is standing close to enemy.

In PvP the trap knocks down players. It's possible sit inside the trap during PvP. However, skilled opponent easily disarms the trap. Any class which can block damage can explode the trap without taking damage, and gets benefits of blocking an attack, like possibility to counter with Blade Draw.

Painful Trap was originally gained at level 6. However, with leveling skill changes (and due its relative uselessness), it was moved to level 48.
