How exactly does Explosives Expert work?

[Shade~]

I just job changed and got explosives expert lvl 10...but I don't seem to understand how it works. I was under the impression that you throw 1 mine that hits 3 enemies, or throw 3 mines at the same time, and hit 3 enemies anyway. When I tried myself lots of times, it seems to only hit one enemy; just like the normal landmine, except having a lower cooldown.

Is this really how it works? or am I doing something wrong?

You're right, it's just Landmine with a shorter cooldown. It's fast enough to be able to set three mines in 3 seconds and each one have approximately the same duration as Landmine. You can also combo it with Landmine for up to four mines set anywhere possible for a short period of time.

hmm yea...after training for a bit, I kinda relize it. I guess foxes the foxes that I"ve seen do it so fast that I thought it was only 1 mine that hit 3 ppl.

Oh well, now I need to get 2 TM points and sithlis cards to master it @.@

it also has a melee range cast range now

You don't really need range for mines anyways o.O You just set them and whatever comes close goes boom

...sigh.

You realize for landmine when you set them you can toss them away from real far? It lets you avoid danger and gives you opportunities to flee or kite. Not with explosives, the 'throw range' is melee.

Is it still possible to kite w/ landmine and walk them over, say 3 explosives?

Well, if you can somehow get around the long cast time landmine has then yes but 3 explosives takes around 4~6 seconds to plant and in that time they could have possibly done something to you/ran away from the mines too

ah ok... hmm what about aggroing a mob, then throwing mines between your legs as you run away.
