Crescent Sweep Totally Misses sometimes?

Anyone else notice Crescent Sweep (Templar Aedric Spear ultimate) sometimes totally misses, even when you are right on top of the mob? Is it supposed to be that way - where there's a chance to miss? Or Is this just buggy animation/hit detection and notification?

    I have noticed I need to be right on the mob for a second then hit the button. If I hit the button while running to a mob it may not hit even if you are in range when the animation begins.

    Conversely, if I hit the button while in range of a mob, then move away, it will still hit the mob even if the animation starts when I am clearly out of range.

    So yes this is just a delay between the skill activating and its animation activating kind of thing I think.

    Still...I think there's something funky going on here. Sometime i am literally right in front of the mob when i activate and it still misses.

    They should just increase the range. That would help a lot in many ways. I believe it is 5m. 8m would be perfect since that is Biting Jabs range.

    I noticed that its missing the target when you open with it, if mobs are still idle. In combat i never seen it miss.

    This.
    If the mobs didn't aggro you before it will miss. If you lose aggro it will miss.

    There's also the case where you press the button, the animation kicks off, you don't hit anything but the Crescent Sweep is still available.

    It still misses. I stopped using it at V7. It misses more than it hits for me.

    It misses a lot for me also. I also have the problem most of the time it will hit my main target but not the guy standing on his shoulder. Unless I have totally misunderstood the skill I thought it was meant to be aoe

    It seems a bit unreliable, to say the least. Like others above I tend to wait until everybody I'm fighting is definitely in range, I'm fixed in place, preferably blocking, and we've already swapped hits on each other, before triggering it. I still tend to leave this off my skill bar as a result, although the low refill rate does lead me to save it for drawn-out boss fights where I could use every extra point of damage my pathetic non-dps/stamina build self can inflict, since I can often use it several times during. A slight range increase would be welcome, although I think it's low because you can hit mobs behind you as well.

    It hits all around you and only in cone in front of you for the extra damage. I also have the feeling that it doesn't hit NPC's out of balance (that thing after blocking an attack)

    I think it's clear that this ability needs to be "cleaned up" a bit.

    Yes about 30-40% of the time I feel.
