Thats great, so for clear-speed we are looking at a 3 second refresh cycle Without any increase to cool-down recovery speed.

Do we have a degradation chart at all, to see how fast it deteriorates at base?

And theoretically with a 20% Cool-down recovery speed belt, plus 15% on boots, we could get it down to 2.05 seconds? Or is that effected by this mod?

Elusive decays at a rate of 5% effect every 0.25 seconds, so 20% per second. Without any Elusive effect, it lasts for 5 seconds.

With 35% cooldown recovery, you can lower the cooldown to 2.222222 seconds, recurring of course. Actually, it rounds at some point.

When a mine uses a projectile attack and the projectiles Return(like on the new anointment notable), do the projectiles Return towards the mine or to the player?

The notable says "Return to you", but I'm not sure if the "you" in this case is a literal you or an all-encompassing term for "their source".

Returning Projectiles return to their source, so the mine, trap or totem that fired them.

Will mines re-armed by tremor rod be placed at the end of the detonation sequence if they re-arm in time or will I have to detonate them again if they have been detonated once?

Tremor Rod re-armed mines will be able to detonate again, though detonation sequences are usually fast enough that it'll start detonating them faster than they can re-arm quite quickly.

If the minions can use inspiration charges, will these charges functions differently on them like power/end/frenzy charges on monsters?

Inspiration Charges have no inbuilt stats on them or monsters, everything currently just comes from the Support Gem stats.

Does the area in which Pyroclast Mine's projectiles land scale with area of effect mods? Or does it only scale the explosion size?

Increased Area of Effect scales both the area Pyroclast Mine's mortars land (and the range they can target enemies) as well as the explosion size.

Thezanlynxer

The range they can target enemies? Do they specifically aim at enemies like Rain of Arrows, or do you mean the mine detonation radius?

Pyroclast Mine specifically targets enemies in range with its mortars, like Rain of Arrows.

Demolition Specialist states "100% increased Effect of Auras from Mines". Does above imply that this affects Skitterbot Auras as well (including shock effect?)?

Demolition Specialist only affects auras from actual mines, not from mine skills.

Why penalise the BM miner archetype? Seems rather arbitrary that a required aura for miners is inaccessible via BM.

It really is an unfortunate casualty of the wording that was required for mines in general and how we use tags/types to classify skills. Something we'd like to have a better system for in future, if possible.

If I were to link Lightning Warp with High Impact Mine support (or the other one) while I have Trickster's Weave the Arcane ascendancy point, will there be a total reservation of 0, or will the reservation "transformation" override the node?

This is VERY important for my league start.

Modifiers to Mana Cost have no effect on the reservation cost of mines, so Weave the Arcane's "Movement Skills cost no Mana" doesn't influence mine cost at all.

Seamstressy

Thanks.

By that metric, will both mine and minion damage modifiers apply to the damage/aoe of Infernal Legion (supporting the skits)?

Appreciate your patience in clarifying things only I seem to be interested in.

The game uses Mine Damage rather than "Damage with Mine Skills", so mine damage won't influence the damage of Skitterbots with Infernal Legion. A subtle but important distinction!

-Stormblessed-

Rory not related but elusive from assassin won't override with crits right.

That's right, Elusive can't be replaced, with Withering Step being the only exception.

How do mines interact with mortal conviction + blood magic? Can i reserve skitterbots and still use mines with these?

Thanks in advance, you're the hero of info!

Mortal Conviction now only removes the reservation cost on non-mine aura skills, and the Skitterbots have the Mine and the Aura type, even though they're not actually mines themselves. So you'll pay full price with Mortal Conviction on, but you can have one other free aura.

While we're asking mine questions, I've got a few quick ones.

The wording in the patch notes for Curtain Call is a little vague - it could be interpreted as the 500 DEX and 500 INT lines having their stat requirements raised to 800, or having both of those mods replaced with a single new one that grants 1 mine for having either 800 INT or 800 DEX, but can only ever get you that 1 mine, even if you hit 800 in both categories. Which of these is accurate, if either?

Also, how are multiple mines thrown at once going to be located? Will it be similar to traps with Cluster Trap, where they're scattered within a range, traps with Multiple Traps where they're in a line, or something else?

Oh, and how does the game determine which order mines detonate in if you throw more than one simultaneously, e.g. with Curtain Call, Swift Assembly or Minefield?

Curtain Call's extra mines still work the same way, just with higher requirements.

Extra mines are thrown in a small radius around the target when throwing multiple at once, similar to Cluster Trap and the new Minefield.

You'll detonate the mine closest to your cursor when you use the Detonate skill, unless your cursor is a long way from any mine, in which case it'll detonate the closest to your character.

Do Skitterbots work with Infernal Legion Support?

Thanks in advance, much love.

Skitterbots will work with Infernal Legion, though it will increase their reservation cost.

MaXiMiUS

What is the base radius for the Skitterbot shock/chill auras?

Radius of 30

Any chance this could be increased? Unless the Skitterbots actively try to get in melee range of enemies, 30 radius seems tiny.

Skitterbots do move up close to enemies where you last targeted, similar to other minions. If you throw a trap or mine, they'll pretty reliably move to that area.

Is there a way to know if a minion spends mana? For example, Solar Guards spam the Fireball spell (since they don't have a default attack), but it doesn't seem like that consumes mana (since they seem to always be able to cast it). However, Carnage Chieftain giving frenzy charges to allies seem to cost it mana.

If you want to know on a case by case basis if a skill costs mana, putting Blood Magic on it is one way, maybe Arcane Surge? Not sure about Arcane Surge off the top of my head sorry.

goldarm5

Is that affected by any kind of duration modifier?

Technically the mine lasts a little longer if you have a longer cast time, but it's a fairly minor difference. Nothing else extends the length of the aura that I can easily see.

ScootaLewis

Do you mean "activated" as in "detonated" or activated as in after the aura begins existing?

After being detonated, yeah.

Atheist-Gods

Can you say the base radius of mine auras?

Mine Auras have a base radius of 35 units.

Bolgan88

on a related note: how fast can mines actually deal damage? the detonate mines skill is instant, but there is still the detonation time delay before it can deal any damage, right? without increasing the throw time, it's impossible to detonate the first mine in the air?

Mines explode immediately on initial detonation, the only delay comes from when they're in a detonation sequence. If you hit Detonate on a mine flying through the air, it immediately explodes and drops to the ground.
