Not sure but devo proccing and damage are separate things. Multiple Inquisitor Seal proc on their own but their damage doesn’t stack.
IMO, the main benefit of Thermite Mines is higher RR value, especially aether/chaos (35% VS 25% from WoP and Spectral Wrath). But their AoE is just atrocious without certain MI helmet and/or Conduit with certain mod. With those, it feels really great.
AoE isnt an issue against single boss when facetanking it, but it is an issue against packs, like in Crucible and SR.
Just noticed yesterday that the described radius is far more than the visual: 2.4m radius, results in 4.8m diameter - nearly 3 times character’s height. So they might work in mob corners you would not even expect.
Then again, if you pay attention, the terms (TARGET) AREA and RADIUS seem to be used a bit inconsistent in skill descriptions. I suspect, devs mixed them up here and there, this could be one of those cases.
wind devils also proc individually, so does inquis seal
they dont’ do dmg individually but each of them is still considered a single pet and are “hitting” the enemy (they have a hidden 0 dmg pbaoe hit skill), which then can trigger devo/serve as potential hit for proccing
