Can someone please help, i was trapping away with a diff group and they stated not to use spike trap as if knocked down then the other damage from the other traps does not apply, come someone advise the working behind this as if knocked down you still suffer from bleed fire etc (or so i thought)
Cheers gratefull to anyone who can help.

You need to go up to each of those people and slap them...

Hard.

My trapping build is a Spike Trap lover. The fact that the foes are on the ground means that they will be in the effect area for a longer period of time, and will therefore take more damage from the other traps because they can't get out of the AoE fast enough. Hell, as far as I have seen, they still take the trap damage when knocked down.

Those people who told you otherwise are morons.

The only time to not take spike trap is if you're using oathshot.

Uchiha Arashi from The Ranger's Beacon tested that. Top is 3 spike traps and bottom is the Shockwave elite. (Original thread is Here)

Concerning the topic the OP states, the other people in that group were retarded, all conditions and damage still affect you even while you're on the floor. But this is just to show that you can always try something new besides what everyone else does
