Is Blazing Salvo better than BL? Or it’s hard to answer without POB.
No, but it may be usable. hard to say without being able to calc it in PoB. worst case its on par with fireball, which is usable.

Sorry I have a general question regarding playing a miner:
I have played a miner way back in the day and I didn't like the mechanics of having to manually detonate mines each time.
How is it now with skitterbot? Is there still a need to manually detonate the mines? I saw your gem links without the detonate mine gem so I am assuming, and hoping, that skitterbot does all the dirty work for us now.
Fingers-crossed because I really want to play a miner again.
Doesnt work like that. Skitterbots are just a buff, in practice they do nothing. Still need to manually detonate.
You can bind detonate to left click though, which helps a bit.

First of all, each Skitterbot has a 3 second cooldown for detonating mines, so it's not reliable. I just hold down the detonate mine button when I quest/map, or you can look up the numlock trick.
Second, I've never had to actually link the detonate mine gem to any mines. You get the skill for free if you have other mine gems. I think the detonate mines gem is for things like CWDT or some other linkage.
As for GC/AOE, I think the placement of each GC's center is fixed, so if you increase the AOE they overlap more.
Now a question of my own. For mines with auras, do these auras only apply when the mine hasn't been detonated yet? For GC to take advantage of the double damage aura, if I just detonate as I throw them, the aura never builds up to 40 or 80%, correct?
Correct

Lets say you have 100 average flat damage and the skill has 60% effectiveness. You get 60 bonus added damage added to the total dps.

ok so
"Ball Lightning: 246 average damage hit at level 22 with a 50% damage effectiveness giving us 306 average hit."
in this case we take 100 flat damage with 50% damage effectivness is 50 added damage so 246 + 50 = 296 not 306, where im wrong ?

Modifiers to the skill's area of effect no longer affect the overall range of the skill
Apparently I skipped that line, meaning the distance between the center of each burst is fixedfor GC. Might be able to hit 3 bursts reliably, maybe 4 with additional AoE.
Now the question is if GC can have a much better scaling than BL. I guess Hatred over Wrath and taste of hate will help on that side but that doesn't seem enough.
