Thermite Mines, and other player scaled pets, are kinda broken right now because each has its own CD for it, so it goes off way more than it should. But there are hints being passed around that it's going to be "fixed" in the expansion.
You can order it to attack specific targets using the pet attack order. I found overall this skill was a waste of points, when I used it on trash the trash would be dead (from my other skills)before the mortar could hit them. The only thing I found it good for was to have it shoot at bosses to soften em up. Mortar would be good if you could increase its attack speed by about 2-3 hundred percent to make it lob 4/second.
It should definitely shoot faster or like I mentioned in a stream, act more like the siege mode on the tanks in Starcraft, where there's a burst at the barrel and the hit on the enemies with no visible projectile. The ability's good worked in with other abilities but can't stand on its own really.

How to place 2 mortar traps?
You know you can have 2 mortar traps out at once with 17/16 and 3 mortars with 25/16?
Yeah, but I don't know if the investment is worth it compared to investing in other skills.
what does 17/16 mean?
As for me - this skill was an easy mode with bosses. You place it and you run around it while it kills the boss. :)
yeah, that's one of the reasons it combines well with the other artillery abilities and CC abilities.
