    About the cluster mines

    If there is suppose to be other builds than red maybe fix the skills so that they are actually usefull. I made a pretty nice explosion build around clusters and everything works fine except the mines itself. There are times when not a single mine hurts anyone when they explode. You sacrifice so much that you can be the skill user and when you try to do it skills arent working. It would be nice if those mines would not be avoided so easily by NPCs.

    Or am i the only one with this problem ?

    Cluster mines are more easily avoided because they have no internal tracking abilities due to their size. The base Seeker does and is much harder for NPCs to avoid.

    that is one bit of realism the game really does NOT need. Also while a believable explanation, is this reflected in the game description or by any of the devs?

    Either way the result is that this makes seeker mines kind of non-useful except for the few seconds of NPCs running for cover. I doubt very much that this justifies making a skill build tho so yeah....build divesity is kind of lame compared to TD1

    It's in the wiki for the game. They really don't miss that often. You can help them along their way to hitting a specific target by suppressing that target while the Seekers are inbound. But to be honest I don't think there is anything wrong with them in Pve.

    I love cluster mines back in Division 1, but playing PVE in a 4 group with a skill build is useless, I cannot hurt the NPC with cluster mines even if I have a high skill attribute. I hope Division 2 developers buff the skill build.

    Speaking from my personal experience, I'd have to disagree. I find it every rare that each seeker within a single cluster, all but the target. Sometimes even none do. I also find it odd how the extra mine mods, dont give you any extra mines...

    Seeker mines are unpredictable at best. I like to throw the seekers in a room, wait, then enter, but often they do not do a lot of damage and only alert the NPCs. But on some occasions you can almost clear the room! those are the moments I go for and still use them seekers:-)
