As someone who has never really played Vauban, pre or post rework, I really need someone to explain to me what's the point of Minelayer. Tether seems to be a straight inferior version of Vortex, Flechette seems to be meant for stun-locking in an AOE but is again made obsolete by Bastille and Vortex, Vector seems almost impossible to use on the fly, and Overdriver seems to be the only useful one of the four. Can a Vauban player tell me if I'm missing anything?

Other than that, his kit seems to have sharpened his niche as an objective control frame. His 1 and 3 augment both want enemies to be grouped together and armour-stripped, and his 4 does just that. He also seems to have good synergy with heavy attack dagger builds. I can just imagine grouping enemies together, then cleaving through all of them with a crit dagger zaw, dealing massive slash procs and getting health and energy regen via Life Strike and Exodia Brave.
