Extra attack speed causes Tactical Axe VII to miss attacks

Issue Description:
With enough finesse and other extra attack speed (such as with Veteran talent Trench Fighter Drill) the second attack (upward swing) of the Atrox Mk VII Tactical Axe does not hit a target in front of you 100% of the time (instead of the normal 10-20% miss rate). This is because the third attack cuts off the second attack before it completes its full attack swing/arc.

If you aim far up and to the right of your target (putting your target in the lower left of your screen where the second attack swing animation starts) the second attack will hit your target successfully. So the second attack isn’t prevented; it is instead clipped before the second attack swing/hitbox can complete its arc. You might need to make the second attack start sooner so it isn’t clipped by the third attack or make the second attack swing animation/hitbox faster.

Steps to Reproduce:
Equip Atrox Mk VII Tactical Axe with high finesse stat (mine has 68% / +10.2% AS).
Equip a talent that adds attack speed such as the Veteran’s Trench Fighter Drill (+15% AS).
Stand an arm’s length away from an enemy and aim directly at them.
Attack with primary left click attack. First attack hits; second attack misses; third attack hits.

Also,
Stand an arm’s length away from an enemy and aim above and to the right of them so they are in the lower left of your screen.
Attack with primary left click attack. The second attack will now hit.
