It is, however, Mines get tremendously stronger by:
- Captain levels; specifically Blastian that can increase the mine damage upto over 70% (not including the generic damage increases)
- Perks; specifically Epic perks, by leveling up to T3+ you can load in 4 perks. Epic Damage increase is 10% X 4 = 40%.
- Additional damage increases from other Captain sources and all round Perks.
So in other words, you can double the mine's damage. Most Rares and Epic low levels barely do 2000 damage. My Epic mines at max do 2770 damage, and my Blastian is relatively low with only +40% activated.
Max Legendary does 3527 damage with no Captain and No Perks and no additional damages. A mine can do 7400+ damage at max Legendary.
So do you see the massive scale up in damage at higher levels? Compound that with Nightmare skill level cunningness and skills, it becomes frightening, which is why I dare to say it's overpowered. Then add this sort of tactic, where it's just like lobbing slightly delayed grenades. Do you see speeders getting hit? Those are 3500+ class players.
So sure, similar concept, less impact in my opinion.
