PoE2 Whirling Assault for Monk

This skill has a very weird animation, it's getting stuck on enemies while it looks like it's supposed to move them/jump over them? For me it does most of the animation in spot while being a bit "jumpy" if I'm encircled. Is that me using it wrong?

This skill is very clunky.

I like the fact that it's a many hit skill. It works well with mantra of destruction (because 1 attack lasts long and can cause multiple kills) and you get decent value out of power charge consumption/extra cooldown supports.

However as soon as you hit terrain, lock onto a monster or sometimes for no reason at all you just stop moving.

Yeah even redirecting it feels weird. Its still a realy cool skill and iam using it as aa. Sadly it doesnt scale well because as is not doing anything..
