Thanks for all of your hard work so far, but PLEASE tell me that you aren't leaving detonate mines the way it is for the foreseeable future. It's destroyed the QoL of the entire ascendency and is unplayably bad, and here's why...

Let me start out by saying that, okay, I get it, if we want to be able to detonate with left button, it should cost us a passive. I don't love it, but it's not a deal-breaker. It's a double-whammy that expanding AoE is what we lost along with it, so, it's already a harsh downgrade.

But you guys HAVE to restore the functionality of manual detonation while taking the passive mastery. It is completely unusable in endgame bossing because you can't stand in place, where you are momentarily safe from all of the mechanics, and still DPS a fastly moving target. By its very nature, throwing mines makes you stand still, so you've created a system in which, in order to DPS a boss, you have to time a (dangerous) little wiggle move out of your safe spot at the same time that the boss just happens to be right over your mines, because you can't hold detonate and track them as they move. It makes the passive mastery that we lost so much for USELESS. Meanwhile, using Automate support means you can't stack your mines for maximum damage because they just go off, and now costs two gem slots when it used to cost zero. Both options are awful.

All it takes to make this remotely okay is not disabling the manual Detonate key binding if you take the mastery. PLEASE PLEASE address this, or all mine play is toast.
