So to confirm, cluster traps and multi traps reduce the damage done when it is tied to the gem even by something such as linking mirror/blink arrow to trap and cluster trap the damage reduction applies to minions and so they do less damage when using either cluster or multi? but also the reverse side doesn't apply the same way in that the trap damage when tied to a bow minion does not increase the damage?

Yes.

- ie: only way to really scale mirror/blink arrow is to scale minion damage and trap reductions apply but trap increases do not apply to bow minions

No. Trap damage modifiers do not apply to minions summoned by traps. Cluster Trap and Multitrap give "less damage", not "less trap damage" - the reason it applies is because it is not a modifier to "trap damage"

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. 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 Blood), the minion will also spawn at Low Life, causing it to instantly explode with Minion Instability. The minion will fire bow attacks supported by all applicable support gems linked to Blink Arrow. It will not use linked active skill gems, only default attacks.
