Does anybody like the Trap Mechanism trinket? (lemmy.ca)

I'm curious if there are people that consistently get this. And why?

Personally, it's pretty much a tie between this and the chaotic censer for my least favorite trinket. At +3, even in the demon halls, I felt the number of traps was lacking, in comparison to how useful other trinkets are. Maybe if the trinket also took trap area of effect into consideration and spread the traps out to provide more entire dungeon coverage, the current number of traps it increases wouldn't feel so meager.

Part of the problem is the trinket doesn't synergize as well as others. Even on a rogue and a talisman of foresight, it felt lackluster. I imagine it'd be more trouble than it's worth outside of those circumstances.

Or am I totally wrong on this and there's something I'm missing? I mean, the thing has remained unchanged since trinkets were introduced; about 5 months ago. Perhaps for a reason?

Feel ya. The time I used it, it barely seemed like there was an increase on the number of paths. And I get why, maybe you might get a trap on corridors more often, on really annoying places to deactivate. So I just think increasing trap's AOE (+ a slight increase in the number of these) would make this a better trinket. It seems like Evan forgot about it, every other trinket is getting adjustments but this one.

I think perhaps changes haven't been made because it hasn't been a priority. I believe other trinkets have endured changes as well, like the Eye of Newt and I want to say Exotic Crystal? I'm not sure either of those need a buff though. The trap mechanism feels like it needs one.
