[ Suggestion ] Some Love to Mines !

• Unique Jewels:
  _______________________________________________

Spoiler

• The Design behind this item is to literally reduce the time needed to lay mines, increasing the clear speed a bit.
_______________________________________________
• It creates a chain reaction where the more enemies you kill with your mines, the more mines you'll have on the ground.
_______________________________________________
• There will be situations where you won't even need to lay another mine, it happens naturally.
_______________________________________________
• Just remembering that this Jewel is Limited to 1, so you have to place it very carefully in your Passive Tree to make the most efficient use out of it.

Spoiler

• This one, in other hand, adds a interesting synergy between the user and the mine itself.
_______________________________________________
• Traps, Mines or Totems can't give you any form of leech by default. This Unique Jewel make this possible only for mines, for a 'degenerative' price.
_______________________________________________
• You won't even feel the degeneration if you kill your enemies quick enough.

• Unique Equipments:
  _______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This unique item is very powerful, because it makes possible to lay all of your mines at once.
_______________________________________________
• This is interesting, because it reduces the time needed to lay all of your mines even more.
_______________________________________________
• It increases the time you need to lay your mines, but as a balance factor, it lays all of your mines at once. So you take a shorter time to place all of your mines than if you would place them one by one.

Spoiler

• This is the only Unique Item that changes the concept of mines a bit.
_______________________________________________
• Instead of laying the mines on the ground, you become a kamikaze and lay them on your own body.
_______________________________________________
• After laying all of the mines on you, they will detonate ONLY if you take damage. This also damages you, but for a reduced value. It synergizes well with the Blood Trigger Unique Jewel, because it makes you regenerate life when you deal damage with your mines, reducing the drawback of this item even further.

• Offensive Mine Skills:
  _______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This Skill Gem have similar mechanics as Spark. But can't be augmented by Projectile support gems.
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This one is similar to Fire Nova mine due to its "repeating" mechanics. And has a built-in alternate version of 'Cluster Trap' to mines.
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• Vacuum Ignition is a Hybrid between Utility and Offensive. It can pull enemies in, increasing the pack density, and it can still deal a nice amount of Fire Damage.
_______________________________________________

• Utility Mine Skills:
  _______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This Mine is designed to give alternate ways to gain charges. Place one, or use The Weaver unique gloves, kill some enemies and detonate it to get a random amount of random type of charges.
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• Shockwave Mine has a fixed Stun duration, and it's increased even further if you use it in a large pack of enemies. It is useful for Melees that can endure some damage while placing a mine and have direct contact with enemy packs.
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This one is my favorite. Place a few mines as a Spell Caster, use any Spell you want, and Press 'D' button to see the mines repeating the show. The mines will repeat any spell you've casted during the mine duration, and with all of the support gems you've used on it, except for LMP, GMP and Triggers. And by using the Tremor Rod Unique Item, you can even repeat the show furthermore!
_______________________________________________

• Support Gems:
  _______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This support gem makes mines be detonated if you kill an enemy nearby. It has great synergy with the next Support Gem.
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This support gem attaches a mine on the body of an enemy and activate it when the enemy is killed. But you still need to detonate it manually when it was laid down.
• Using it together with the Death Trigger support gem, might create interesting mechanics.
• Mine on Bow Kill anyone ? :)
_______________________________________________

Spoiler

• This one is the most useful in my honest opinion. It creates 'Magnetic Mines'. Mines you lay will be automatically attached to enemies if they enter on the Mine Detonation Radius. You can still wait to detonate the mine, or use it in synergy with the other support gems or uniques I've suggested.

Personally I'd love it if they could add a passive branch that reduced mana cost of mine & traps

Ie.
Node 1: Reduced Mana Cost of Traps And Mines
Effect: 5% Reduced Mana Cost of Traps And Mines
Connecting Node 2: Same effect.
Notable: Construction Expertise
Effect: 10% Reduced Mana Cost of Traps and Mines.

Also It'd be nice if they could rework blast cascade; in it's current state, I don't like its location at all >..> and the chance to gain charges feel so low, would be much more practical if they made a power charge on trap throw support gem :c
