Gemling Legionnaire 'Gem Studded' Node

I wanted to use the node 'Gem Studded' to use the 'Vitality' and 'Clarity' support gems on 2 different herald auras ('Herald of Ash' and 'Herald of Ice' in my case).

Every use of the respective support gem increases the spirit cost by the correct amount, but the benefit of the support gem is only applied once.

I tried this with 1 Vitality and 1 Clarity per aura and also with 2 Vitality on one aura and 2 Clarity on the other aura.
Both combinations used up the correct amount of spirit (60) but did not provide the benefit of the support gems twice.

It becomes also possible to socket 2 of the same support gems into any other skill.
I tried this with Flamewall and 2 'Magnified Effect' support gems.
Only one of these support gems applies the increased area effect (which could be okay).
Additionaly also the manacost only increases once (this is different to the comparison earlier with 2 of the same support used for an aura).

I think for auras it should eighter work to use the same support twice or it needs to be mentioned somewhere that these do not stack.
For other gems i think it should not be possible to socket the same support gem twice into one skill gem.

+1 It is somewhat frustrating, that nearly all the gemling ascendancy nodes are broken, ranging from a literally downgrade taking the node all the way to permanently bricking your character. GGG very clearly had to rush it out the gate, because even just allocating the nodes shows cracks in basic functionality. Hopefully they can all get ironed out soon!

+1 I can confirm this bug as well. I hope they fix it soon to allow us to explore the full use of the class.

+1 I also tested with those 2 (clarity and vitality) and it doesn't work. It doesn't change the number in the character sheet, and I can't feel a difference with Clarity up or not.

I tried to disable, remove and put the spirit gems again, and it still doesn't work. It's just a nonfunctional ability right now, and since there is so little support gems for spirit abilities, it's kind of a bummer. Hope it get fixed soon.
