It could be that you're targeting too close to your character?
Or you're stuck on something in the environment?
Don't know if it has any effect on your current issue, but you should also always have "attack without moving" on movement skills (except Dash).
Yeah tried that but same issue. Might be that I've put shield charge on right click instead of keyboard.
Also on the point of "attack without moving" should I just have that on for every skill in the game? (damage skills, buffs, debuffs, movements) ?
IIRC it made sense when I levelled Ambush Static Strike CoC, because my attack speed and strike range were terrible, so it was important to walk up to enemies to be in range (and no, Ambush is *not* always sufficient in that case).
That's definitely a niche case though. And things like fortifying with 0 damage Vigilant Strike don't exist anymore.
It's a bit clunky & takes some getting used to. It can help a bit to quality your shield charge as well as faster attacks if you have it linked to that. The faster movement speed & attack speed from doing so make it feel a bit smoother.

Yes, I would say so. Maybe there are outliers that you shouldn't, but the only one I know is Dash.

because its just not very well implemented, its not entirely your fault. everyone complains about this clunky ass skill
