Does the lightbringer's damage boost work on traps? Anyone have a list of anything it doesn't work on?

It says in the description it protects against Abaddon and his minions. I would think that means Margonites and Torment Creatures. As for traps, they aren't direct damage so I am going to guess Lightbringer won't protect against that.

He said damage boost not protection boost. Yes, the extra damage does apply to traps.

Life stealing effects are not boosted. EVER. This rule overrides any others.
Direct damage spells of ALL TYPES, including armor ignoring, are boosted.
Weapon attacks are boosted.
Traps are boosted.
Minions do not seem to be boosted, but this is really impossible to prove unless somebody could become a demon and get numbers for us.
Stance damage is not boosted, for example, Gladiator's Defence, Whirling Defence.
Hex damage is not boosted, except for (and now here's the part where all the necros and mesmers get pissed) elementalist hexes that do damage, like Shatterstone.
