Almost no1 plays miner atm. Thus they change how miners will work.

What statistics are you using? Looking after a cyclone/ed league with massive occultist nerfs, we see still 1,6% players above 90 playing saboteur. ninja has another data set for 50% mine/trap split.

I don't think we will see a 50% split between sab and necro next league as both classes/playstyles are niche.

Who told you Saboteur = Mines? If someone played Sabo, he played with traps. If even 0.01% of playerbase played mines I would be very suprised.

as he said there is another stat saying sabo is 50/50 split between mines/traps. that i don't really believe, but w/e doesn't matter. 0.8% playerbase playing mines?
still doesn't mean they aren't clunky and terrible.

i can't wait to see the numbers though. in the footage the dude is chucking mines like crazy

i think new-meta miner is more chucky than old-meta so let's wait to see the number like u said.

At least corrupted jewels with reduced mana reserved will have some value.

Why wouldn't you believe it? Modern traps have so many similarities with spells but mines are one of the few seperate playstyles (for now) also has immense boss cheese potential.

I usually trade with a few high spec miners every league, some people really like playing it whereas sabo died down considerably once the deliberate GGG meta died down... kinda like the inevitable 50% necro were gonna see :p

No, they dont like the playstyle. They just like the insane DMG mines can do. Thats all.

Sounds like an awful change indeed unless it's only 2% reserved mana per mine or smth

It's most likely going to reserve flat mana like clarity or precision. In this case, stack more mana, so you could still reserve mana for aura skill and still have spare to reserve for mines.

this. mean i would assume with em -mana cost rings it could even be 0 maybe

Mana cost rings don't work with reservations. But they would still be as good and useful as ever regardless.

Love people that speak for an entire group of players without the slightest thought that they might have a different opinion (the damage is part of the playstyle)

You can melt every boss in the game with fucking anything these days nobody playing mines still does it because insane damage LUL without any thought to how they actually play.

Sorry, I just cant believe there is some masochist that plays mines because he actually likes playstyle, not for the damage.
