Intuitive Link questions

1. should mana cost/second on the gem be affected by ring with
Non-Channelling Skills have -x to Total Mana Cost
because it doesn't


2. what's cooldown on casting the skill linked, like on gem tag it says
Triggers a Supported Spell from Linked target's location when they Hit an Enemy

but when minions are so fast hitting enemy you can see the skills are being casted like every 0.5 seconds

any more gem hidden info shared are much appreciated, thanks

This seems intended. I think such modifiers can't apply to costs per second. Not sure why it's not specified, my understanding is "Total" and "Upfront" don't clash in PoE terms. Maybe they decided to not overwhelm the wording even more "Non-Channelling Skills have # to Total Upfront Mana Cost".

don't you think this could be a bug as if you are linking like 10 minions for support skills or linking them for added damage, then you need to pay 20 mana/minion/second and not being reduced by mana reduce skills + trigger cost for each skill triggered, so user only can invest in high mana regenerate rate which will never be enough to keep the links up

also not clear about cooldown in different links to different minions cost more mana so why they share cooldown, like each minion should have his link with it's own cooldown, otherwise just link only one minion because they all won't be casting only once every .5 second

can u recommend where i can discuss this with game team, should i report bug or ask first ? and where i do that please

Link probably does not grant your skill to each linked target. Instead, targets can merely trigger your skill, with all skill calculations based on you, as if you triggered it yourself with other trigger gems.

And just like with other trigger gems, cooldown consists of trigger cooldown/delay + skill's own cooldown, so you cannot abuse triggering with horde of minions.
