Minefield Broken.

From the patch notes:

Throw Mine and Mine Field skills: Certain friendly NPCs no longer detonate mines.
Scatter Mines skill: Recharge is no longer impacted by the Rifled Barrels trait.

These present new issues with mines that are greater than the original issues.

Mine Field no longer explode when enemies cross them and can only be detonated manually. Furthermore, when the Rifled Barrels trait is active, the mines not only no longer explode, but they trigger a 20 second cooldown on Mine Field whenever any creature (ally, enemy or yourself) steps on them (regardless of Recharge Rate reduction from the Tools line). This cooldown resets whenever any creature crosses them (thus making them unable to be even manually detonated) in a perpetual loop.

We are aware. Working on a fix.

Riffled Turret barrels doesn’t increase the range of Rocket turret by the way. How many times did that one appear in a patch note already as ‘fixed’?

This trait actually works with Rocket turret, however, I just discovered that the rocket it fires while traited is invisible. I checked in a fix which should hopefully appear in about 2 weeks on live.

Thanks for the detailed report,

Jon
