Can we have an alternate throw mode for mines & traps please

Loved mines ever since I picked them up in 3.1, loved the old system and how it worked but I've gotten used to the new system of mines.

Now my issue is with certain skills like Glacial Cascade, Ice Spear etc. There are certain skills you would rather have dropped close to you on console rather than name locked.

Is there a way to set up that if a mine is attached to a skill it will then have an alternate drop location. Like normal mode is name locked but alternate is close to your character or at least a locked distance rather than the furthest possible distance.

I think that would be a great improvement overall to the experience of mines on console specifically.

Seems like they should be able to do this the same way they did movement skills, have it toggle when assigning a skill.

Or for mines, traps, totems etc, have some 4 step slider, targetlock, at feet 50% range 100% range. I always hated that totem placement was based on the skill you linked it with. RF Totems were places based on your analog stick movement as the spell doesn't target lock by default. Here I would have wished for on target placement. On the other hand freezing pulse, which placed the totem on the mob, but till it was actually active the mob passed by and the totem had to fire both directions making it totally ineffective. So the option to place it at my feet and maybe have a RT binding on same button with a different behavior. It would really help with the limitations especially as we have now 12 bindings. That could work out pretty well.

Maybe something as well (no clue how to do it simple atm) for the hardcoded tornadoshot setting, to shoot behind the enemy.

But in general it would just be better to give us some options to optimize the behavior of skills instead of hardcoding it.
