The new crucible blink/mirror arrow node actually only makes the build worse?

Edit - update: Ok not a bug. I see now. Since I had everything socketed in different items the triggered clones had no supports. Have to have supports in the bow for it to work.

Orig post:
First note the normal playstyle for blink and mirror arrow summoner is alternating between blink and mirror arrow.

I noticed a couple of things about the crucible node. First of all, the triggered clones up at the top of the screen don't seem to show being supported by any of your linked support gems, which makes the triggered clones significantly weaker than your regular clones.

However, the triggered skill still uses a cooldown for your regular skill that does have links, which makes getting your real blink and mirror arrow clones take twice as long. This results in only a little better than a 50% damage nerf, which I don't think was the intent.

I think the main way to fix it is just not have the triggered skills share a cooldown with the ones you cast yourself.

An alternative would be to have the triggered skill actually be linked to your own support gems, or the node would need a full rework to something that actually helps a build, like maybe a chance to summon multiple archers when you attack, increased duration, greatly increased cooldown reduction, or something more unique to fit the theme of the crucible nodes.

This image was shooting a single mirror arrow. As you can see, there are two clones at the top. Only one shows the support gems on it. Also you can see both blink and mirror arrow are recharging.

not a bug, the trigger is from the weapon, so it will use the support gems in the weapon.

So even though at the top of the screen it doesn't show any supports linked, you are saying it still uses them? I'll grab a screenshot when I can. Edit: added one shot to main post

Here is another shot doing a single mirror arrow followed by a single blink arrow.
It shows 4 different clones up top, 2 for each type. And only one of each shows being supported by skills.

(Is there a way to make the images larger or clickable? It is a little hard to see)
