Differences between mines and traps?

If someone is willing to explain to me mayor differences between mines and traps.

What are the pros and cons of them and what makes them particularly good or bad?

How are both scaled and whatever you think is important to know when making a mine/trap build.

Tnx in advance :)

The main difference is that traps detonate automatically when either an enemy gets near or they run out of duration, whereas mines have to be manually detonated.

The major issue with traps is that their base detonation radius is extremely small, not much greater than a melee strike. So trap build need to either reduce trap duration to zero (which requires either Sunblast or stacking cluster jewels with Set and Forget) or drop traps right at the enemy's feet. This is problematic for positioning-sensitive skills such as Ice Spear or Ball Lightning. Traps also have an arming time that can't be modified, so there's always an annoying bit of lag before they go off. Mines are available for manual detonation immediately, so they give you complete control over where and when the skill is used.

Traps = less clicking and less damage

Mines = more clicking and more damage

That's the gist of it.

Once there was a substantial difference. Nowadays there are no real reasons on why you should prefere traps over mines.

Except, perhaps, for the fact Mines need to allocate mana in order to be thrown, while you can go Blood Magic with traps and Slavedriver's Hand. But I don't think that's a major annoyance.

I haven't played traps in a long time but I remember doing the Sunblast build, and the skills fire in random directions. This defeated the purpose of a build that prides itself in being able to trigger traps with no enemies nearby. The only viable skill was Arc and that was simply because it is Arc. On the other hand, mines have brains. They can auto-target at enemies, so you can use skills like Fireball.

tnx for the responses :)
