Rogue's kick skill not working properly on archer rogue. Bug or game mechanic?

[MK2133]

I was playing as an archer rogue and my kick wasn't working properly when I use bow. is it a bug or game mechanic?

I have no problem with the kick as an assassin/melee rogue and it work fine.

When I use melee the kick works fine.
But when I use bow the kick doesn't always work.

You have to "step in" the critter for it to work - you need to be very very close. It's rather annoying truly, so with archer it's a bit harder to do. Move one step on the direction of the enemy before using it

Our the enemies out of range?

Вы должны «вступить» в животное, чтобы оно сработало — вам нужно быть очень-очень близко. На самом деле это довольно раздражает, поэтому с лучником это сделать немного сложнее. Переместитесь на один шаг в сторону врага, прежде чем использовать его.

similar warrior skill works better,you can take a step during the cast of the ability, thereby increasing the range of the skill, playing on the rogue my skill did not work when standing close to the enemy
