Melee Combo Counter reset timer

[tprx]

I've read on WF wiki that the Melee Combo Counter "resets if no enemies are hit after 3 seconds" (without specialized mods to increase that duration). But from experimenting, it feels to me it's more a 1 second delay. Of course, that observation was taken under combat. But I was wondering if the delay was changed, or is it just me that doesn't handle combat stress?

The timeout countdown begins immediately after your last successful hit, so between finishing the last attack animation and then running to the next happy customer (read poor victim), it feels like it ticks down faster than it does.

In my experience, without the mod increasing the combo timeout countdown, it's really difficult to stop it from resetting.
