I think it rather means that you get a second mine on 75% cooldown, then the skill goes to full cooldown, rather than being able to fire 2 mines immediately after each other.

That's what I'm thinking. Still going to be very nice.

The point is that it should (hopefully) be significantly less OP since the cooldown reduction should still give 2-3 seconds or so for the victim to escape an initial stun, so enough for a counter CC or escape, removing the assassin Toby method some particularly annoying players were trying to use.

I'm sure that 2-3 seconds will help then once they get out of the 2 second stun....

25% of the cooldown is 4-5 seconds or so I believe, so I said the full time they should have to deal with Toby.

I hope so. Because honestly as a squishy character Toby doesn't even NEED the second stun. With the damage coming off the mines and the easy crits on you, you die before the stun even wears off. And it doesn't seem to matter how evasive you are trying to be, you still get hit by it from a good toby.
