What does "detonating mines instant" mean really?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the passive. What's wrong is your understanding of it.

As the devs have pointed out here, mine triggering is ALWAYS simultaneous regardless of passive node.

I have to say this is the most terribly worded passive in the game.

The description should say "removes casting time when detonating mines". I don't think anyone can confuse that

I just raced to this keystone thinking my mine would detonate instantly upon being dropped. Clearing up the language on this keystone would be extremely helpful.

It's not.

"Detonating mines is instant."

The keyword is detonating, not placing. Detonating is the separate action taken after you place it. Detonating has a cast time. Therefor, if detonating is instant, there is no cast time.

OP's grammar is bad. Arguing it with him is futile because he lacks the ability to understand such simple English.

from my test few weeks ago..when i click detonate button, it skip the 0.5second casting animation. mines active right away

its useful for freezemine if u make trapper with extended skill effect duration passive and bigger aoe gem and "chill enemy after freeze duration" passive

but that will eat lots skill points... i feel it might works better for ice witch or ice templar

I asked this question before and got a different answer.

No, volatile mines doesn't remove the detonate animation, so you will still need to interrupt what you've been doing.

Yeah, it's sort of a 'meh' notable.

Oh what a surprise, I always though it was this "my mine would detonate instantly upon being dropped"

It's not a different answer. You cannot cast one skill, even if it's instant, while using another skill or moving.

It means you still have to stop running, and it will interrupt other actions. Such a misleading notable. It saves 0.5 of a second but does nothing to make using mines any less clunky.

You forgot to complain about having to stop running to do just about anything. Maybe GGG should make players stand still to drink a flask.
