Whirling Assault - Bugs

It's pretty easy to understand ability from the description and it's video-showcase.
Here goes the bugs:

1. It stops on the 1st mob encountered (always). Video shows it going in through the mobs. It sometimes is spinning in place even when no mob is blocking the way (this one is just pure frustration). Cast-in-place keybind doesn't affect it, I believe it should, so it goes in by default or spins in place on demand.

2. Range on it is buggy. Sometimes i am hitting genuinely one mob i got blocked by and even though other mobs are hitting my back, I am not hitting them.
The only way to hit the Bell with it, is to aim for the bell directly to get stuck on the Bell, as the range is so bad/messy. (stucking on the Bell is nice tbh, even though unsure if intended)

3. Quality upgrades Attack Speed on it, but it is not affected by it anyhow. Animation speed is the same (tested really intensely), Amount of attacks stays unchanged as well (tested on combo count). It needs to be aligned to work with Attack speed or changed the Quality bonus stat, or both.

After the patch - still nothing is fixed for that skill.
Using whirling assault here as well. There is also some bug going on with critical hits and whirling assault. I'm experiencing and read on a reddit post to confirm I'm not crazy but it seems to not calculate critical hit chance for each hit within the skill but for the whole skill at once. So when you use whirling assault if you do not score a critical hit on skill use you will not get a crit for the whole animation.
It's like you said. I spotted that too, but I wasn't sure if that's a bug and forgot about it when posting my bugs report.

Im pretty sure it's the same for Flicker and that's why Close combat doesn't work on it - 1st hit determines whole ability.

I'll test that when back at home.

My PhysiotheraChonkist build is really struggling with bugs :(

Also if u have an Ambush gem socketed with more than 50% crit chance for Whirling Assault, first hit crits, but following ones can go as normal attacks.
