Vaal skill gems and trigger order - Spellslinger Vaal Summon Skeletons + Spellslinger Dark Pact

To clarify, I'm not reporting that the vaal version doesn't cast on attack.

When using a Spellslinger setup with Vaal Summon Skeletons, the base version of the skill (Summon Skeletons) does not follow proper trigger order.

Easy to test. I'm unsure if level matters, but this was my results with a lv18 Summon Skeletons and a Lv21 Vaal Summon Skeletons

Here's the process base gem:

-Equip wand
-Place Spellslinger + Summon Skeletons in helmet, with Summon Skeletons in slot 1
-Place Spellslinger + Dark Pact in chestpiece, with Dark Pact in slot 2
-Attack with any wand skill to cast Summon Skeletons + Dark Pact.

When attacking, skeletons will pop up at your target location, and Dark Pact will cast on them.

Here's the process for the vaal gem:

-Equip wand
-Place Spellslinger + Vaal Summon Skeletons in helmet, with Vaal Summon Skeletons in slot 1
-Place Spellslinger + Dark Pact in chestpiece, with Dark Pact in slot 2
-Attack with any wand skill to cast Summon Skeletons + Dark Pact.

When attacking, dark pact will cast around the player, THEN skeletons will pop up at the targeted location. This behavior ALSO seems to result in dark pact targeting pre-existing skeletons instead of the ones that were just summoned, which if they get replaced, can lead to NO dark pacts proccing.

It would be great if I could actually take full advantage of the recent changes to spellslinger and dark pact, without having to dedicate a separate slot for using Vaal Summon Skeletons.

Would be great if this was fixed, as having to use a significantly lower level vaal summon skeletons (to get the Catarina bloodline damage bonus), is actually resulting in a potential DPS loss due to dark pact chaining to lower health skeletons.
