I'll be honest. I am just recently picking this game back up after over a hundred hers played after release. I stopped playing a while ago and came crawling bacfk recently. I am not new to recon mine necessarily, but I never spent to much time with it until recently. This thread has helped me with what is expected. Its always good to know how good team members need you to work. I will definitely start thinking before I blow that thing up. Misty of the time I just find I didn't place it somewhere helpful and need to replace it. Also in pug matches, teammates don't focus on scanned enemies

I wouldn't take the OP very seriously- I certainly wouldn't avoid using Recon Mine just because somebody whined about it on BSN. Recon Mine is a great power, and I really can't think of any reason why you WOULDN'T want to throw one out practically every cloak cycle. Is it sometimes annoying when one blows up in your face and you momentarily can't see because of the smoke? Sure. But take two steps in any direction and the problem is solved, and the impressive AoE damage and debuff is more than worth some occasional visibility issues.

This. Recon mine can do pretty significant damage especially versus mooks even phantoms, dragoons, etc if they are grouped together and has a target cap of five. I wouldn't blow it in anyone's face (at least if their GT didn't have boogie in it) repeatedly but your teammates should be able to deal with a little smoke occasionally. Also good power to save a teammates butt when you revive them and they are in a mob, it staggers the ****** out of most everything.

Throw recon mine to debuff and slow down enemies - > shoot - > detonate, owns on Platinum, I even saved dozens of players from Banshee grabs by that, cuz mine explosion stuns, you know.

I don't see too much point in OP's complain, cuz Recon mine is never a power as annoying as Flamer or Snap Freeze, it also highlights large area of enemies, in case some noobs get flanked.

Again, only noob will use Recon mine as primary damage output.

My Volus Engineer says "Oh ... buuuuut"

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Lol, I'm on Xbox. And I don't "test" my skill against other players in a coop game.

 

Also, even though I'm very rusty at this game now I am 100% sure that I'm still a lot better than you at it so please don't make me laugh by "challenging" me.

 

You could challenge him to fite u IRL to see who's more manly.

 

Seriously, are you guys getting this hung up because one likes recon mines and one doesn't? If you compared notes on why you both like ME3 you'd find you had ten times as much stuff in common as you disagree on.

 

Go on, break the pattern of constant conflict on BSN, make peace and act friendly. Let's have some change in here.

Not without getting permission first, at any rate...

Stop spamming that ****ing recon mine....
Every single time...
Just because you can wipe packs at  bronze, does not mean it will do the same on silver or gold, OR platinum.
Use this mine as it should be used. To scan enemies and help you team with the buffs that you've specced for this ability.
Spamming it is annoying, and most of the time, the smoke from the damn thing messes up the FOV. I cannot stress how many times I had to escape from sticky situations, just because some Recon mine guy decides to blow it up bellow me, covering everything in smoke.
Then when to detonate? Simple, for finishing them off and not before that. Bowing a Recon Mine for a healthy banshee on Gold won't do a thing...

 

Not your choice to tell people what they can and can't do with their powers, doubt they even care.

 

You can actually wipe packs on all difficulty levels, platinum though is only certain waves where you got lowly mooks like husks and marauders and you need a power amp mod on.

 

The mine is meant to scan, debuff, and kill. All those enemies scanned will basically be dead on detonation, why would they wait for you to run to the location and kill them?

 

There is a 3 second window between setting down the recon mine and being able to detonate it, and its very obvious where the mine is because of the scanned enemies. You have enough time to get out of the way. If you were on top of the mine then that was your fault it blew up in your face,

 

Never seen a person detonate recon mines unless to damage the enemy, like a banshee. Whittle her barriers down, attack the armor with homing grenades while the recon mine scan is active, and detonate the mine at 2 bars.

Last post, so I will make it count.
First:
I am not bashing the veterans, I am trying to reach out the newcomers, who only spam recon mine.
 

Second:
It's getting annoying to be misunderstood, and yet you are saying what I said few posts back, without bothering check it you jump  on me.
Recon Mine is awesome ability which everyone benefits on.
I AM NOT AGAINST DETONATING IT,  so cool it Recon Mine fanboys.
Most of you misunderstood/didn't bother checking my tesis. I tried to explain it, you preffered to act like 4chan wanabies and jumped on me, playing it bogard and trying to be original wiht various snob posts. Few of you got to what I was trying to say.
I though Mass Effect was cool game. naturally I was in believe the community of this game is mature.
So **** it, don't see any sence pushing it.
 

AND THIRD:
Moderators, please delete/lock this thread.

Whoa, easy there man, I'm not jumping on you- you may notice that my post wasn't even directed towards you at all. And if you've since clarified what you're saying, I didn't see it- I read the OP, then jumped to the end of the thread. I aint got time to read every post on every thread. 

 

BTW, if every single person who reads your OP has "misunderstood" you, that may be a sign that you haven't communicated what you're trying to say very well.

It's because he is so condescending.

He seems like just another tool to me.

My Volus Engineer says "Oh ... buuuuut"

Oh, I meant Recon Mine on DAI, haven't played much Vol Engineer tho, so how Is it different on Vol Engineer?

I feel the Recon Mine's CD is way too long to be spammable, maybe on bronze it has decent damage, but on Gold/Plat it can hardly kill anything beyond basic troopers.

[Ribosome]

Friend request rejected. I don't like you and I don't want to play with you.

The DAI can hide the cooldown recharge with a Tactical Cloak recharge, whereas the Volus Engineer has to wait the whole cooldown. The DAI can spam it about every 3.5-4 seconds.

Yeah that's actually what I thought, so when he mentioned "Volus Engineer" I'm kinda confused.

Well, to get a balanced view you also have to take into account that English is not the OP's first language. I don't think that covers that he phrased the post in a manner presumptive of guilt, but all the same, one needs to make some reasonable allowance.

[Pheabus2009]

Hmm, now I guess I know what he means

[ThatOddGuy]

Never thought of that... I will use it to troll Flamer kits!

[MaxCrushmore]

OP - blinded by RM detonation? But .. but .. Geth Scanner?

 

And what if i'm in a group of players who are way over their head? Can I spam it then? Because when all the other players are using common and uncommon weapons with no armor mitigation of any kind .. doesn't it make sense for me to spam it, if just to stagger the enemies, in the process helping keep those players alive?

 

Oh, and FYI - RM is highly effective on all difficulties

The VolGeneer can't handle the CDs from carrying massive guns as well as the DA; so your mines are pretty much your main damage output... though stick a Falcon + Incendiary rounds on him to keep mobs staggered on the mines and ignite them .. then when they're all nice and burny and staggered THEN detonate the mine to trigger the Fire Explosion and multiple deaths

 

... and he is an emotional Red Sands user ... possibly because I called him Tranz't Van (possibly Kampa Van, my Adept might be Tranz't ... the VolGuard is Sprinta Van anyway).

[Miniditka77]

I'll stop spamming Recon Mine when it stops being so damn awesome.

[crashsuit]

I haven't played the Volus Engineer much, but when I used him for the achievements, stacking both mines worked pretty well for wiping out clusters of mooks and mid-tier units. It took some planning, though, and the cooldowns were a hindrance, but the big booms were nice.
