Hextoad support does not work when triggered

normal cursed ground works when triggered through battlemage's cry
hextoad does not it applies the curse as if the gem was not socketed at all

links are battlemage's cry + depair + hextoad
attack used to trigger battlemage's cry is 'viper strike of the mamba

I can second this.. Tested with multiple triggers and it does not work..

I know it's probably due to the cursed ground not being able to be triggered, however, even the cursed ground support gem does not state that it won't work with triggers..

So either it's a bug, or we need a description change..
Probably needs to have the trigger tag added at least to make it clearer that you can't use a trigger to trigger it.

It mentions trigger in the description and according to poedb, the toad skill that is casted has the trigger tag.

A skill that is supported by two or more triggers becomes disabled. Hextoad Support adds a triggered Spell to a linked Curse. Battlmage's Cry can trigger spells, thus disables the whole setup. None of this is a bug, it's a knowledge gap.
