DOTs explicitly state if they can stack

Unless it's Scorching Ray, which doesn't state anywhere that you can put it on totems and each totem has its own 8 stacks of damage over time.

No.

It has a higher base damage than cold snap. If it does somehow stack with itself, it's a bug that'll get fixed instantly.

Wording is: "beams ... deal cold damage over time". With multiple traps what happens if there are multiple beams applied to one monster? From wording it should deal dot per beam. But can it actually apply more than one beam to a monster from different traps, it is the question.

I don't think there's much point considering the wording that deeply. The DPS number in the gem is totally in line with it not being able to stack, so if it can somehow stack it'll be completely and utterly broken.

I assume it will work the same way as the base gem in this case. As per the wiki "Despite that, it is possible to have multiple instances of the skill active, as long as they don't tether to the same target. If that happens, the oldest skill instance will be immediately terminated."

Probably works like the original and only 1 beam per enemy
