Yesterday, i published this post that tested how mines work and why using Tremor Rod breaks sequences early unless you're using Pyroclast Mine. After further testing, i come with updates.
Also, i posted a Bug report on the forums.
First, i was wrong to say that "Pyroclast Mines have no 'rearm animation' ". They do. As Tim_GGG said, "However there is a difference between how well mines chain, and this is mostly related to the cast time of the skill the mine uses. A mine placed with Tremor Rod won't rearm until it has cast its skill."
However, the specific interaction of how mines are rearmed (in this case, by Tremor Rod) and how these rearmed mines react to different "Detonate" order results in sequences breaking.
We will see how reactivated mines react to a "detonate" order from different sources.
There are three periods to a mine rearming. After detonation, it goes trough a "Rearm Animation Period", after that it goes trough a "Refractory Period", and then it continues into a third "Normal Period".
First, this is how a mine reacts to a manual Detonate order from a player when on the "Rearm Animation Period". As you can see, nothing happens. As Tim states, these mines are rearmed only after it has cast its skill, and the Soulrend Mine has a casting time of 1.05 seconds. There is a visual cue as to when tihs happens: First, the mine explodes, then there is a pause, then it reappears, then a "shockwave" appears underneath it. This shockwave signals when the mine is ready to be detonated again: It has entered the Refractory Period.
Second, this is how a mine reacts to a manual Detonate order from a player when on the "Refractory Period". As you can see, it recieves the signal to be detonated, then it pauses for a few miliseconds, then it explodes.
Third, this is how a mine reacts to a manual Detonate order from a player when on the "Normal Period". It detonates as soon as it recieves the Detonate command.
The problem comes from the following interaction:
When a mine that has recently been detonated and is in the Refractory Period is detonated manually, it cannot triger another mine that has been recen

After some time, feeling I should post this, My attempt at a Fire-Based Artificer.
I was hoping that rockets will get buffed in beyond light so this beauty will be usable for full two seasons. But, well, bungie said no.
I'm glad rockets are getting buffed but I find it laughable that that junkyard launcher from prophecy could become pve meta. (Sarcasm) there are a few better arc rocket options becoming available but yeah...
