Flicker Strike should be Multi directional on Single Target

The tutorial video for the Flicker Strike Gem in game shows the player attacking from different directions on a single target when they have multiple power charges. However, in game the player ends up staying in one position for the duration of the animation, not like the video at all.

I think that the skill would look way cooler and be more flavorful if the player blitzed a single target from different directions like in the video. One of my favorite skill of all time is Seven Sided Strike from D3 and this could be the PoE2 version of that skill if it functioned like it does in the video. The character flying around the target striking it from different sides is way cooler than just standing there and hitting it from one angle.

Is there a reason it doesn't work like it does in the video?

Bump!

I was thoroughly disappointed with the flicker strike. Falling thunder seems to be much better investment for power charges. Just not happy with flicker strike at all tbh. What you said also valid. Hopefully the buff flicker a bit.
