I haven't used it but a couple of nights ago while on a BaF with one of my Traps toons Madame Pistachio suggested I try it because it works awesomely. If I had one laying around I would have slotted it ASAP juts off her advice.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

I can't say I ever considered the kb in tripmine to be detrimental whenever I used it. The damage spike is so high that most things are dead or almost dead for it to be an issue.

I would say keep the mines the way they are. I put the OF proc in Caltrops.
Seems like a waste - I wouldn't.

It depends a lot on how you are using Trip Mine. On my Blaster I tend to drop a trip mine before combat as a last line of defense, knocking enemies back into my caltrops. So for him the proc would make the power worse.
On the other hand I know some people who use like to drop them in the middle of a group during combat (mostly Traps users since they have high Defense) and for them the proc can be very useful for keeping foes clustered up.
I would have put it in there...if I didn't have to put it in the explosive grenade launcher power from my primary!

Would have to actually slot the proc and experiment, but i imagine you'd still get some knockback when using stacked Trip Mines since each pseudopet would proc it's own chance to KD on a target and simultaneous detonation of mines can stack the KD to KB levels.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Anyone have any thoughts on whether an Overwhelming Force Knockback-to-Knockdown proc would improve (or hurt) Trip Mines?
I can't decide whether I like the idea of giving up true knockback in Trip Mine or not...one of my all-time favorite things in COH is blasting an enemy with one trip mine and having them land on another trip mine. It's the most interesting power in the secondary.
I don't always use Trip Mines, but when I do, I prefer a big pile of them. Stay 'splodey, my friends.
