Is there an attack speed cap on mirror/blink arrow clones? If yes, what is it?

Also is it considered a bug that minions can't apply poison when using Cospri's Will (against cursed enemies). I feel it should be reworded to included "You" if its not a bug.

1- Probably not. There's no cap for a character ... minions can have very high attack speed.

2- Minions don't benefits from your stats on your gears

Do you have a reference to what you call a rearm timer ? and what exactly this is supposed to be ?

Spark and Vaal Spark projectiles (including those from monster Sparks) are now 20% slower. Quality on Spark and Vaal Spark is now worth 1% projectile speed per point of quality (rather than 2%). The time that Sparks must travel before they re-arm has been increased from 500ms to 1000ms. Spark projectiles now destroy themselves after travelling 150 units, which is in-line with other projectiles.

Why i used a chaos in a item with "Cannot roll caster mods" and it rolled all mods?

Would damage from Explosive Arrow be enhanced by:
1. Elemental Focus support gem
2. Concentrated Effect support gem
3. Mana Leech support gem?

Spark on the wiki doesn't have any references. Haven't played spark, don't quote me but 300ms for other projectiles of same cast (No reference) and 1000ms for a spark (last patch) is assumed to be the actual mechanic.

Nothing happen to those timers if it bounces off a wall. If it chains, timer would still apply. Therefore chain would not be a good choice since there is a 1000ms rearm time now.

If a spark is within its timer and hit a mob, it will pass through it.

Finally, bouncing off a wall won't consume a chain but again chain is a bad support for spark I would assume based on the long re-arm timer.

Read the crafting section on the wiki ... a meta-crafting mod is a mod. A chaos reforges all mods yes.

The way you attempted to craft using meta isn't how it works.

Thanks!

Can glove enchantments be supported with the Trap Support gem to turn them into traps? If so, would they have a new and separate cooldown time, or would they use the same cooldown inherent to the skill?
A similar question. Can you support glove enchantments with trigger gems?
