Mace skill - Leap Slam isn't working properly with a controller

With no enemies around, my character just leaps a step away. When there are enemies around I can't leap far enough in the other direction to reposition and get some space. Maybe let us leap in the direction we are facing and do a very small charge bar where we adjust our leap distance by holding down the skill button

I think this is a part of a wider issue with controller gameplay. An interim solution of switching between max and min distance on attacks with no enemies around would be nice.
