What is the expected behaviour/value?
Anomalous Mirage Archer grants two extra projectiles, which should significantly affect the output displayed DPS on skills that heavily rely on arrow count (e.g. Barrage and Barrage Support).
The correct behavior should be a visible DPS increase over the standard quality.
What is the actual behaviour/value?
As of the current version, even though the Anomalous quality seems to be coded in and supposedly counts the two extra projectiles (1 per 10% quality on the support gem), the DPS calculation actually shows a drop in DPS; the skill loses the standard increased damage quality and ignores the bonus projectiles.
How to reproduce the issue
It's as simple as linking a Barrage or Barrage Support + main skill e.g. Lightning Arrow to Anomalous Mirage Archer.
Build code
Not required as it's not build-dependent.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the Barrage or Barrage Support case with Anomalous Mirage Archer and compare it with standard quality, then trace the projectile and quality handling in the DPS calculation. Done means the anomalous quality accounts for its extra projectiles and produces the expected DPS increase without losing the standard quality behavior.
