blink arrow questions

Basically I want to know whether I can speed up the teleport of blink arrow using it as a movement skill. I searched the forums but it seems previous questions are all about getting some dps out of blink/mirror arrow.
Putting quality on a blink arrow gem will increase the arrow speed, by a max of 30% at 20% quality. I assume this means you will actually teleport 30% faster.
Blink arrow does not have the projectile tag, so I assume faster projectiles from support gems or passives doesn't do anything?
Does attack speed help?
How long does the arrow take anyway? Is it related to the time it takes to walk, like for lightning warp? Does it even increase with longer distances?
On a side note, there is no way to bypass the 3 second cooldown?
Thanks for any help.

Haven't tested personally, but less duration and faster attack would help you maybe!

Attack speed will reduce the time it takes four you to shoot the arrow.
Projectile speed will reduce the arrow travel time.
Less duration will shorten the clone duration and boost its damage.

Faster attacks and faster projectiles are a good combo for it, makes teleporting around really snappy. However, neither of them is exactly mandatory if you got other sources of projectile speed and most bow builds will have a decent amount of attack speed either way.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

I'd say Faster Attacks is fairly important unless you have a really fast setup (Lioneye's Glare as opposed to a Harb sans IAS). I've never felt the need to use Faster Projectiles on my more developed archers though, mostly a nice early addition if I have a ton of sockets.

There is a helm Enchant that increases Cooldown recovery for Blink Arrow. That is the only way to get more teleport juice out of it. You can get more clone power through Trap + Multi/Clustertrap.
It doesn't feel like travel time is based on distance, but that is probably due to it being so very fast innately? Kinda hard to tell. :p
Doesn't exactly fit your question...but:

I generally only use blink arrow to quickly get out of a sticky situation and not for sustained travel. I have found it much faster to keep a couple fast daggers with whirling blades and faster attacks in your swap set, and then use these to get around. When you need to DPS, just swap back to your bow.

For blink arrow, I will link faster attacks if I have the extra socket available, but generally there are more useful things that I would rather do with my sockets than supporting blink arrow.

Projectile speed will speed up A LOT. I have like 120% increase projectile speed and I reach my destination in a split second. Faster att will help too though.
