Blink Arrow is an attack that fires an arrow, upon reaching the destination you are teleported there and a clone is summoned at your previous location. The clone is a minion that uses your bow and quiver.
The player fires an arrow into the air. This is a regular attack animation and can get slowed or interrupted by monsters.
A delay of about 0.3 seconds, during which the player is free to act normally. They can move or use another skill. They can continue to take damage at their current position[1].
The player teleports. This is an instantaneous change in position.
A clone is spawned at the player's previous location and the arrow lands. The arrow doesn't start falling until after the player has teleported; this is purely a visual effect.
The length of the first stage is affected by anything that affects regular attacks - weapon base speed, attack speed modifiers etc. The length of the second stage is affected both by bonuses to projectile speed and by global bonuses to attack speed, but not by the weapon's base speed[2][3]. The delay is unaffected by distance travelled.

The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. This affects all minions other than Raise Spectre, though the damage of Animate Guardian, Animate Weapon, Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow minions is also unaffected as they gain base damage from items instead. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill.
