I don't really play mines but might give it a go in SSF next league. I don't play it because of the extra clicking involved. I was told that slotting Detonate Mines on your left click was an alternative. Has anyone tried this and is it a viable option? Sorry if this is a redundant question. I didn't scan all the pages.
It sorta works. While running maps its fine, but its wonky on bosses. Will need an extra button for that.

I am looking to do a miner as a league starter for 3.11. I started testing this build but felt like leveling early as icicle mines felt a little clumsy.
Boss dps didnt feel very strong even with 15+ mines on the boss. Trash clear also didnt feel very fast compared to something like arc mines.
Should i stick with the icicle mines or do you have another recommendation for what to use for leveling?

Pick up Stormblast Mine at level 1 and link it with pierce and arcane surge if you have a 3 link.
I was practicing for league start, and it doesn't look like Stormblast Mine works at all with either Pierce or Arcane Surge..
Perhaps Stormblast + Swift Assembly early, with Orb of Storms + Arcane Surge + Frostblink?

You could set the detonate on your left mouse (move) button. Then you detonate every time when you move. Not the best to maximize the damage, but for people who only want to lay down the mine and detonate them automatically for sure the easiest option.

Thanks.then The best way to maximize damage
is to place all the mines and detonate? Do we have time for that ? Will the monster attack us First?

In the end you guys need to test it out if you like the mine playing style. Its a bit more clicky and definitely not for everyone (from my own expierence you should at least level until maps to make your finally decision on the playstyle). On the other hand, its an easy starter that pushes you with no big effort to endgame content to gather all the ressources to build your wish build.

I’d use BL once you have a 4 link ready to go

Imo only use it until you can use icicle or BL. But that sounds fine to start with.

You don’t really need to set all of them except on bosses. On normal monsters just 1-2 mines should kill them.
If you want to try a different playstyle, you can setup a macro to continually push the detonate button on a single click, and then turn it off with another click.
It’s against tos, but it’s basically the same thing as just holding the key down.
