POE2 - Ranger takes long time to turn around to shoot

Hello,

I started playing POE2 today, and if i am running in one direction, and move my mouse to the opposite side of my character and then right click to shoot my electric arrow or auto attack, it takes him about a half of a second to turn around and shoot, and he shoots sideways into the wall.

It's really annoying, especially if I use something like barrage for multiple shots, and then he just unloads it into a wall when I didn't click there, so I can't preload the barrage while running in one direction.

It makes the input/controls feel really slow and clunky and has caused me to die many times.

Is there some sort of itemization stat that I need for him to turn around faster, or is this just how the game is?

Thanks

Far as I know (based on reddit posts, do not play PoE2 myself) this may be an instance of a design failure. You may be able to workaround by using "wasd" instead of mouse for movement.
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
