Monk Bell skill causes issues in multiplayer

To preface, I am unable to use KbM due to a disability so I use a controller. I was playing with a friend who uses the monk's bell. I noticed that every time he drops the bell, the controllers auto-targeting gets confused. It either yanks the targeting from my target to the bell, or breaks it completely and my character starts aiming in random directions until I provide right stick input to force it back to a target. I understand the monk wants people to hit his bell, but it really shouldn't just yank my targeting away from what I was aiming at and I don't think it should be breaking targeting to just... Not work entirely.
