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.
Skill functions and interactions
The skill happens in three stages:
- 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 0.2 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]. This delay appears to be unaffected by distance or projectile speed, including the skill's own projectile speed bonus from quality.
- The arrow lands. A clone is spawned at the player's current location, and the player is teleported to where the arrow landed.
Due to the first two phases, this is not a fast or reliable skill to escape when surrounded by monsters - consider another blink skill for that purpose. The only way to reduce the travel time is to reduce the attack time, e.g. by linking Faster Attacks Support. For easier chaining, additional uses are available via the phantasmal variant or a linked Second Wind Support.
The minion generated by this skill will spawn with the current % of total life as the player; if the player is on Low Life (e.g. via Petrified BloodPetrified BloodSpell
