The blessing "Decimator" drops combo when forward sliding

Issue Description:

The blessing “Decimator” is dropping combo incorrectly when the user does a forward slide, but not a side/backwards slide nor the individual components of a forward slide, ie sprinting or crouching. There are lots of legitimate reasons Decimator drops but I think this one is unintended.
Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Build a Decimator combo ie continuously attack and gradually build power on an attack, in this case with a Mark 2 Tactical Axe
  2. Many things should make the combo drop - blocking, not attacking, etc. But normally if you can start a heavy attack, hold it and hit with it the combo is retained.
  3. Forward slide (ie, sprint, crouch) while holding a heavy attack and a combo. The bonus resets. Sprinting does not drop the combo, crouching does not drop the combo, side or backwards sliding does not drop the combo - only forward sliding drops the combo.
