Is the Plasma sword meant to shove you fowards a tiny bit?

Recently I built this weapon called the Plasma sword. Its really slow, clunky and I hate it, lol.

So before I get rid of it I wanted to know. Is it meant to shove you forwards a tiny little bit when you do melee combo's with it? 

I got the Iron Phoenix mod equipped on it  and every time I do the 3 slash combo it shoves me forwards a tiny bit. My skana doesn't do this, my cronos doesn't do this...

So is this a feature of the Plasma sword? Or is it just such a bad weapon that it even messes up its own melee combos?

I added the tag "weapons" Because this is about a weapon :)

Probably is meant to. But, if you want rid of it, do it. Just make sure you hit mr 30 since MR is pretty helpful as early as you are in the game.

It's intended, for all melees actually.

Footwork is basics 101 in melee combat.

Also some stance combos have a few ''dashes'' in them, ranging from short to long ones. Iron Phoenix in peticular uses a tiny one in all of it's combos: first one ends with a lunge; second has a small spin attack jump in the middle.
