Deadeye's new frenzy passive is very clunky in its current form

For quick context and a reminder of what the passive is:

"Avidity - 5% more accuracy rating per frenzy charge. Gain a frenzy charge each second while moving. +1 to maximum frenzy charges"

My build is a ballista one, one where I am constantly moving, placing a ballista, then moving again. Even with this extremely mobile and quick playstyle, I struggle to maintain frenzy charges. Why? Because you have to spend a whole second moving uninterrupted. That means if you stop to attack, place a totem/ballista down, etc, then you ruin your progress to earning a frenzy charge.

GGG please consider changing this to some other way of checking to see if your character moves. Right now it feels terrible to do an attack/move playstyle, and earn no frenzy charges despite constantly moving

Edit:
Things like opening doors, chests, or even bumping into objects or walls despite holding down my left mouse button for movement all stop my character from earning frenzy charges.

+1. i took the node just now in lab, and within 30 seconds i'm infuriated by it. its so needlessly frustrating

thoughts at this stage

- include all the movement skils as movement. For example i'm doing shield charge, which, like, come on lol.
- Have the 1 second timer build up, not fully reset. An arbitrary flat timer is awful in POE - as you get more attack speed, castspeed, etc, being slowed down by a flat timer is antithethical to player progression.

if i move .5s, cast and move .5s that should count.

the tooltip specifically says moving - this should include all movement (non teleports) i.e shield charge.
