Why does Mirror Arrow's Cooldown apply to the Remote Mine Support Gem and not the Trap Support Gem?

Is the disparity intended, and if it is, shouldn't the Trap have two cooldowns. One for the MA skill and one for the Trap skill.
Or inversely the Remote Mine should disregard the MA cooldown since Trap also disregards the MA cooldown and secondly the cooldown is triggered on the activation of the MA skill not the act of placing a mine.

Heyo Mark,

We have a question about Poacher's mark. When we have 10% to gain flask charges when critical strike from Pathfinder, does Poacher's Mark also effect that ? Or it's just allowing people to get more charges on kill cursed enemies.

How does the "Ascendance" suffix affect Diviner's Strongboxes and Arcanist's Strongboxes?

I'll try again.

Also, will "elemental leech" and "0.X of Cold Damage leech as life" leech from Vortex' DoT?

Leech is an on-Hit effect and can't apply to DoT in this version of the game.

(as for the strongbox, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm fairly sure the only thing it does is increase the level of monsters that spawn from the box.)

The templar inquisitor passive point, Pious Path, Is not working on Malachai's Loop Harmonic Spirit Shield. You still get shocked even when on consecrated ground. Is this a bug or is this intended?
I did test out to see if I took more damage against reflect, and I did indeed which is what I would think happen. So its not just an issue of it showing you as shocked, but not taking increased damage.

If you're playing a chain map with 2 players.

Player A has 75% dodge and spell dodge.
Player B has no avoidance mechanics.

Player A and B stand next to each other and player B takes 10 hits from projectile attacks. Will player A take 10 hits as well or does it roll a separate hit check when the projectiles hit him?

I have a crit Vortex mine Occultist build and using Pyre ring.

Here are some question related to Profane Bloom, mines and Pyre interaction:
1) Direct mine initial hit can't trigger Profane Bloom explosion, because "mine" != "you" in statement "Cursed Enemies you Kill have a 20% chance to Explode". Am I right here?
2) Ignite kill by itself can trigger explosion (as it's "on kill" proc and not "on hit")?
3) Cold degen from Vortex can trigger explosion (got from your previous answer, that all degens assigned to me and not to the mines as they are "temporary objects") ?
4) Does Profane Bloom need corpse to proc and, if yes, what will be the first in the order Pyre ring vs. Profane bloom? (Again that "you hit" statement on the ring, but still.. If the target was ignited and I managed to "hit" and "kill" it somehow - corpse will be destroyed or exploded first?)

p.s. The more I think about it - the less I understand.

The Scourge - a very interesting item, here are my questions

1)Does the sockets have to be linked together to work with the wolves if i'm planning to use minion support gems? (since gems on The Scourge support the wolves)
2)The Damage increase based on Minion Damage from The Scourge, does that work on hits by the weapon only or it increases damage across the board like what %Increased Damage on jewels do? basically making the keywords "Increased Minion Damage" to "Damage"
•if i am to hit with another weapon when dual wielding and apply DoT, does Increased Minion Damage:
a)increase the hit only and DoT because the hit damage got increased
b)increase the hit and the DoT damage directly (double dipped on the DoT because the hit damage also got increased)
